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 […]

…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..>>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 […]

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 […]

Chicken stir-fry. Again. We’re not winning any prizes for originality with this one are we? It’s the best way I know to use up leftover chicken though and since Stephen bought a super-chicken yesterday, we had to do something. It is tasty though and quick to throw together, which is a definite winner on a […]

Tonight, after a quick wander around Borough market and the Thames Festival we barbecued some scallops and some bass. The scallops were enormous but really tasty and we finally found a use for the shells that have been hanging around for ages. The bass was simply stuffed with lemon, parsley and garlic and served with […]

Last night we had a quick supper of hamburgers which we ate while the rubgy was on. Minced beef, grated onion, salt and pepper with a splash of red wine. Served with lettuce, cheese and tomato. Super quick and yummy. G

We went through a phase of eating this almost every week because we’d found a recipe that was really tasty. We don’t eat it quite so often anymore but both Stephen and I have been craving it for a while. Luckily, we had some paste that we’d made previously in the fridge (eat that Nigella!) […]
Read More..>>Steak and Chips
I’ve been going on about steak for a while. So when I started a new job on Monday, Kerri decided to buy some steak as a “happy new job” present. We had it tonight with chips (Marks & Spencer ready-made oven chips which were pretty good) and green beans and some cherry tomatoes roasted with […]
