The Octopus
There’s been a sense of unease in our little flat today. We slept well, had a good breakfast and completed all our boring domestic tasks early. The sun is shining and the day was ours to do with as we pleased so the little black cloud following us aroung puzzled me until my [...]
Read More..>>Beef and Oyster Pie
This week is British Pie Week and with not a lot planned for dinner this weekend, we were grateful for the suggestion. This was actually supposed to be tomorrow’s lunch but we ended up swapping things around since tonight’s planned dish needed to spend some time in the freezer to tenderise, more on that [...]
Read More..>>Prawns in Dark Sauce
I know it’s been quiet around here lately. We have been eating but it’s mostly been food from the freezer and we haven’t had much time for posting. We actually ate this last Monday but it was good enough that I still remember it.
I worked late and Stephen cooked this ready [...]
Fried Garlic and Coriander Squid, and Pork Rib and Bamboo Shoot Red Curry
A Thai dinner on Saturday, with two recipes from Thai Food. Kerri was at work so I spent a bit of time preparing this but when it was time to cook there was still a load more to be done.
The first was squid, which I bought from the fish stall at a [...]

I really wish I’d taken a picture of this but I just wasn’t with it enough at the time to do so (just imagine a very orange looking ‘plate of food’). I had root canal treatment on Friday and when I finally felt well enough to eat something, the only thing that appealed was [...]

The plan was for something light and spicy to counteract the amount of heavy food we’ve eaten over the last few days. The chicken satay was a last minute and very welcome addition.
Tom Yum Goong
Serves Two
4 small green chillies
2 coriander roots and stems
600ml chicken stock
12 thin slivers galangal
2 stems lemongrass, finely chopped

Fish
A quick and easy assembly-job for Christmas Eve: dressed crab, crayfish tails and smoked salmon served with horseradish creme-fraiche and some toasted bread. A gentle start to the inevitable onslaught of food the next few days will bring. And the first in a series of very yellow-looking photographs.
Read More..>>Spanish Seafood Stew
This wasn’t a great success but has potential so I’m typing it up here for future experiments. Less tomatoes and more fish would be a start, parsley to finish would have made a difference too. Stephen also mentioned that an Indian version would work well.

Serves Two
1 tbsp plain flour

Paprika-Coated Haddock
We really need to choose some dishes that are more presentable soon; this one looks particularly unappetising. However, it did taste good. We had originally planned to coat the haddock in breadcrumbs, but when it came to doing so we discovered that we didn’t have any eggs so it wouldn’t have worked very [...]
Read More..>>Miso-Marinated Cod
On Saturday kitchen this weekend the subject of miso-marinated black cod arose; that famous / infamous dish given iconic status by establishments such as Nobu. In a rare moment of sanity, Paul Rankin managed to string a few sentences together and provide some useful information – it was not normal cod, it was often [...]
