Chicken Salad
Continuing the healthy theme and to use up some of yesterday’s roast chicken, I made a chicken salad for lunch which I livened up with a honey and mustard dressing. Honey, wholegrain mustard, salt, lemon juice and oil, all shaken up and drizzled on the mixed salad. Really tasty. Afterwards, I had a Bottlegreen Push […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken
We’ve eaten lots of great food over the last few days but a lot of it was very rich, and we were slightly greedy too. We decided on a simple roast chicken for dinner this evening, with crushed Jersey Royals rather than roast potatoes. Stephen stuffed the chicken with a selection of herbs from the […]

After the excesses of the last few days, we opted for a healthy lunch of salad today. Stephen made the salad and then had his with tuna. I had smoked trout. Simple but tasty.

At last, the weather has become sunny again and we were able to barbecue. We were planning to start with prawn skewers, but we’d eaten them last night in a Thai curry instead. So we made some garlic bread as a starter. Then we had boerewors that I’d bought from the “farmers’ market” in Hammersmith […]
Read More..>>Prawn Curry
Last time we made Thai curry, I made loads of curry paste so we decided to try freezing the extra. It came in handy tonight for an impromptu prawn curry as we hadn’t planned anything but had some prawns and loads of red peppers. The paste was better when it was fresh, but it served […]
Read More..>>Chilli
On Wednesday night, Stephen was out so I decided to make myself a quick dinner of chilli prawns and spaghetti. We’ve made it a few times before and it’s always been a success. Tonight, I added too much chilli. So much that I couldn’t eat it. I liked the picture though so thought I would […]
