Shooter’s Sandwich
Stephen and I have been keeping a keen eye on the weather all week and when we realised it was going to be 23 degrees today, we started planning some outdoor food. We initially considered a barbecue but eventually settled on a picnic in the park: much less effort which would result in more [...]
Read More..>>More Ultimate Chilli
This time, with rice. I actually had a baked potato, Stephen had the rice.
We wanted something quick and easy tonight so pulled this out of the freezer to defrost this morning. Freezing had made the meat even more tender and the sauce had improved, as these things always do with storing and re-heating. [...]
Christopher’s – The Burger
We’ve long suspected this is the best burger in London but the last time we visited we were without a camera, knowing how infuriating a post without pictures is we decided to delay the write-up until we could capture the burger in all it’s glory. It took a while but a Friday night shopping [...]
Read More..>>The Ultimate Chilli Con Carne – Take Two
I should probably start by saying that this wasn’t an attempt to create something authentically Mexican (indeed, many would argue that no such dish exists in Mexican cooking) but more a convenient way of turning some cheap beef skirt I found in Waitrose on Easter Monday into something interesting.
It was also a good opportunity to [...]
Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
Steak. The one thing guaranteed to smoke out the entire flat and really test the batteries in the smoke alarm. Even with all the windows and doors open, the smell lingers for what seems like days and the entire kitchen becomes covered in grease.
It’s a good job we knew these were [...]
Hamburgers
Stephen and I have been ill all week and existing on plain pasta and dry toast. While I like to think our readers are fascinated by what we eat every night, even I’m not stupid enough to think anyone is interested in looking at pictures of that, hence the lack of posts.
Knowing [...]
Lasagne
We celebrated Mother’s Day on Saturday night and my mum requested lasagne for dinner. I actually made up the ragu (roughly according to this recipe) on Friday with the intention of taking it back to Kent with us on Saturday. Only we got halfway there and realised we’d left it behind. A [...]
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..>>Beef baked with Yoghurt and Black Pepper
I might have mentioned that we have quite a lot of meat to get through this week. A combination of having a freezer the size of a shoe-box and wanting to use as much of the meat while it’s at it’s best (i.e. unfrozen) meant that tonight we opted to use the oxtail – [...]
Read More..>>Roast Sirloin of Beef
So, with two carrier bags of meat to get through, it was obvious that today was going to be all about the roast beef. On the butchers block yesterday, the beef sirloin certainly looked impressive but it was only when I unwrapped it in the privacy of my own kitchen that I realised just [...]
