Roast Loin of Pork with Rosemary Potatoes
We went to Tendido Cuatro for dinner on Friday night (camera battery was flat so no pictures) and, although the last time we went we vowed to return for the paella, we ended up eating tapas again. The couple on the table next to us had the paella though and it looked and smelt [...]
Read More..>>Broad Bean and Pea Soup
I picked up a couple of bags of reduced broad beans on Monday, intending to use them for dinner tonight. We ate some last night and they were definitely past their best so, not wanting to throw them away, I started to think of other things to do with them. Initially, I thought [...]
Read More..>>Pot Roasted Chicken
After a weekend of disappointing food, I was lucky enough to have the day at home today to rectify things. In desperate need of something satisfying and comforting, I had originally planned a roast chicken but decided at the last minute to pot roast it instead and see if I could come up with [...]
Read More..>>Steak
When I got home from work on Friday, Stephen was busy in the kitchen preparing something of a feast. I hadn’t been very hungry during the day and when he asked me what I would like for dinner, I wasn’t sure. I wasn’t expecting a starter of crab toasts, an amuse bouche of [...]
Read More..>>The Sportsman, Seasalter
We took the day off work on Friday and went down to Whitstable for the last day of the oyster festival. Since we were so close, it seemed silly not to go back to The Sportsman in Seasalter for lunch as we had enjoyed it so much last year.
The menu seemed shorter than I [...]
Read More..>>Barbecued Trout with Broad Beans, Peas and New Potatoes
We’ve been so busy lately that although we have been doing some cooking, we haven’t found the time to blog about it. What we have been cooking has mostly been quick and easy and not all that interesting which makes things difficult to write about. I’d completely forgotten about this until I found [...]
Read More..>>Barbecued Sausages
We had lots of errands to run today and, when we were finally finished, we realised we hadn’t thought much about dinner. We’d discussed going out to eat but when it came to it, we were too hot and tired so decided to head home and barbecue something instead.
Earlier this morning, I popped into [...]
World Cup Cuisine – English Braised Broad Beans with Bacon, Peas and Mint
We didn’t have much enthusiasm for this after England’s shocking performance earlier on but, since we had everything we needed, we got on with it and did a much better job than Fabio’s 11.
This is a slightly revised version of the braised broad bean dish I loved so much last year, with the addition of [...]
World Cup Cuisine – English Fish and Chips
That was a close one! England scraped though into the next round with a 1-0 win over Slovenia today. We were initially keeping something English to cook for later in the competition given that neither of us were going to be in this evening, but that started looking overly optimistic and as it [...]
Read More..>>An English Tortilla
I’ve been wanting to do something with asparagus, bacon and English cheese for a while. I like the popular Italian combination of asparagus with grated parmesan wrapped in Parma ham but with something so typically English like asparagus, it seems a shame to rely on Italian accompaniments and not celebrate other good, English ingredients.
