Happy Blogday
It’s one year today since Dinner Diary went live. Stephen and I had the idea for a food blog a while before that but were stuck on a focus and a name. I’m not sure in which order those two things were decided (I have a vague memory of the two of us shouting possible […]
Read More..>>Mackerel Pate
At last! This has been on my “Things To Cook Soon” list for months. We both love smoked mackerel and eat it a lot, we also eat a lot of mackerel pate but never seem to get round to making it ourselves for some reason. Today though we rectified that and I’m glad we did […]
Read More..>>Sea Bass with Fennel and Lemon
Last night Kerri was out, so I was just cooking for myself. I decided on some sort of fish with fennel and found a recipe that included lemons too. Armed with a wild sea bass, one large fennel bulb, a few small fennel bulbs and a lemon, I went to work. I chopped up the […]

…from the supermarket. They were mean with the cheese, the tomato sauce tasted like tomato puree and the base was soggy. Don’t try this at home.
Read More..>>Chicken Casserole
Yesterday Kerri made chicken casserole with stock that we’d made on Saturday. Today we reheated it and had it for dinner and it was really good. It had a lovely depth of very chickeny flavour and it was just the thing to have on a rather chilly evening. Winter appears to be arriving and we […]
Read More..>>Rib of Beef
We’ve been trying to think of things to go with horseradish since we bought a huge root of the stuff last weekend. Stephen seems to only be able to think of beef and specifically rib of beef when we have the “what goes with horseradish” conversation so, today, that’s what he had. We seared it […]
Read More..>>Chicken Cacciatora
This has been on the to-do list for a while and seemed perfect for the Autumn weather we’ve been having recently but was actually a bit disappointing. It’s similar to the chicken basque that we both love so much and just not as good really. We served it with green vegetables and lots of bread […]
Read More..>>Fajitas
Neither of us were feelng particularly inspired about dinner tonight, but a couple of days ago we’d discussed fajitas so had them tonight. We had them in a bit of a hurry too, which meant that I forgot to marinate the chicken before cooking it and they didn’t have a lot of flavour. Something to […]
Read More..>>Salmon Fishcakes with Horseradish
Last time we made salmon fishcakes, they were a great success and we were keen to repeat that success. We had bought some horseradish on the weekend and were keen to use that too, so we grated some into the fishcakes and also made some creamed horseradish sauce. I’m sad to report that the fishcakes […]
