Leftover Pork Wraps
We knew we were going to have leftover pork so planned ahead to make pork wraps. Unfortunately, we had a small domestic emergency while cooking and had to down tools for a while to deal with it. This left us both a bit flustered and meant we forgot to add the lettuce and [...]

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 [...]

Thai food used to appear in our kitchen very regularly since we both love the hot, sour, salty, sweet combination and Stephen is obsessed with buying catering sized bags of chillies and shallots and pounding them up in the mortar and pestle. Our local Thai supermarket has closed down and while it’s easy to [...]
Read More..>>Veal Lasagne
I planned this as a lighter, summery alternative to the rich, meaty lasagne I usually make. I love lasagne but it can be a bit heavy when it’s warm, standing in the kitchen for hours making a ragu and then turning the oven on to bake the lasagne is not something I really want [...]

“Isn’t that a waste of lamb?” my mum said to me when I told her I’d used the half-leg of lamb I found reduced in Waitrose to make a curry. I didn’t think so but then I love Indian food and lamb is my favourite of all curried meats. I have successfully used [...]

Leafing through a back copy of the Jamie magazine at the weekend, I came across this dish which appealed to me instantly. During our World Cup series, we cooked Greek stifado which we both loved, not only for it’s flavour but also for the ease in which it was produced. The Greek version [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Stephen and I both arrived home earlier than usual this evening which gave us more time to cook dinner. We’ve been eating a lot of things-on-toast lately so it was nice to spend some time in the kitchen and some more time eating in the garden.
We didn’t want to devote the whole evening to [...]
Mushroom Burgers
These started life as mushroom pizzas but when it came to it, we realised they just weren’t going to be filling enough so we added some toasted ciabatta and they became mushroom burgers. It seemed like a reasonably good idea when we came up with it but I wasn’t all that excited about it [...]
