Bonfire Food
This title was suggested by my brother and it’s very apt, not just because we cooked the brownies and cheesecake to take to a bonfire party.
Our oven is broken and we’re waiting for a new one to be fitted. Having suggested we take dessert along to the afore-mentioned bonfire party on Saturday night, Stephen [...]
Squid, Salsa Verde Mackerel and Boulangere Potatoes
After a few days of decent but relatively dull food, we decided that we should celebrate the start of the weekend with something more interesting. Autumn looks like it’s on the way so we thought we would use the barbecue while we still could.
Stephen picked up some squid on the way home that we [...]
Barbecued Steaks
Having booked the house we were to stay in some months ago, we were disappointed to find that there was no barbecue available on-site and made arrangements for two groups to bring theirs from London. Having squashed them into the cars for the six hour journey, we were determined to use them despite the [...]
Read More..>>Lamb Kofte and Fattoush
I’ve been reading a lot about sumac recently and having managed to track some down, decided to use it in lamb kofte with fattoush. The kofte recipe is Jamie’s and uses almost a whole jar of sumac which neither of us really felt it needed, I think I’d probably halve that next time. [...]

For a while now we have been keeping an eye out for fresh sardines, so it was some coincidence that on the day that we decided that we were going to barbecue fish, we came across some Cornish sardines in Waitrose. We gutted them, then marinated them in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, [...]
Read More..>>Weekend Barbecue Number Two
After yesterday’s barbecue with friends, we spent today barbecuing at home with Stephen’s family. We knew we would be eating early so we opted for a leg of lamb which could be marinated in advance and cooked quickly. It’s also the perfect size for five and, if you’re lucky, will provide you with [...]
Read More..>>Weekend Barbecue Number One
We spent Saturday enjoying the sunshine at a friend’s annual barbecue. Amongst other things (that sadly didn’t photograph well), we ate squid that had been marinated in chilli and a Japanese spice I can’t remember the name of and mackerel that had spent the morning sucking up some red curry paste.
We took along a couple [...]
Read More..>>Weekend Round-Up
We were away in Kent this weekend so didn’t do much in the way of cooking but here’s what we managed to eat while we were away. We started the weekend at a beer festival, our friends bought along their portable barbecue and we ate barbecued sausages in crusty bread while sampling 40 local ales.
On [...]
Read More..>>Barbecued Tandoori Chicken, Sag Aloo and Naan Bread
Having made something similar to sag aloo last week, we decided that far too much time has passed since we cooked any Indian food and decided to cook tandoori chicken again with some sag aloo and also have another go at naan bread.
Our last attempt at naan bread was pretty much a complete disaster so [...]
Hamburgers
After finally getting our hamburger recipe just the way we wanted, we decide to test them again to make sure we were correct in our measurements and were able to reproduce them. We also quite fancied having burgers for dinner.
I think I was a little too heavy-handed with the mustard this time, and not [...]
