Cheese Salad
Kerri was out tonight and I was in the mood for something healthy. Mostly due to a late night last night. We did have rather a lot of salad at home waiting to be eaten and on the way home I was thinking of cooking something interesting and having salad with it. The more I […]
Read More..>>Harissa Roasted Chicken
We both fancied roast chicken for Sunday lunch but since we eat it so often, we decided to cook it differently. I can’t remember what the thought process was but harissa chicken was about the third suggestion and our most favourite. We sort-of followed a Moro recipe but since we only remembered to consult our […]
Read More..>>Mozarella and Roasted Peppers
We haven’t done very much in the way of cooking this week and unfortunately this weekend wasn’t much of an exception. We cooked spaghetti bolognaise on Friday night which was lovely but not very original or photogenic. We went out for both lunch and dinner on Saturday; lunch at Hummus Bros on Wardour Street (an […]
Read More..>>Roasted Vegetable Lasagne
We’ve only cooked this dish once before, partly I think because it’s quite time consuming. However, we planned for this by roasting the vegetables over the weekend so that all we needed to do today was assemble the lasagne and cook in the oven. The dish doesn’t suffer from the pre-roasting and it obviously makes […]
Read More..>>Tartiflette!
I’ve been really excited about this all day, it’s been on our “Things To Cook Soon” list since last year but the amount of cheese and cream has always given us an excuse not to cook it. However, our new year diet starts on Monday so we decided to go crazy this evening and this […]
Read More..>>Things en Croute
Last night we had an informal dinner party of sorts. I had four consecutive vintages of the same wine that I’d bought on trips to South Africa and wanted an excuse to open them all at once and do a comparative tasting. So this was the excuse for it. More on that later. We started […]
Read More..>>Macaroni Cheese
I’ve never had macaroni cheese before so thought it would be interesting to give it a go given that I love pasta and I love cheese. We used a Nigel Slater recipe from Kitchen Diaries (I love this book but haven’t cooked from it before) that included Dijon and wholegrain mustard and had a breadcrumb […]
Read More..>>Bulgaria
So Bulgarian food..we weren’t sure what to expect really but thought it might be a little like Greek food. I suppose it was really, lots of grilled meat and salad. Lots of salad. Salad which is basically big chunks of tomato, cucumber and celery with grated white cheese on top, an olive and a sprig […]
Read More..>>Baked Potatoes with Cheese and Bacon
Last week, we cooked baked potatoes with smoked trout which were brilliant. Tonight, we fancied something easy so decided to do the same but with cheese and bacon (or, CHEESE and BACON as Stephen put it). They were tasty but needed more cheese and more bacon.
Read More..>>Aubergine, Pepper and Halloumi Stacks
This is our first attempt at cooking something for “in the bag”. The ingredients this month were aubergine, peppers and basil. We roasted the aubergine and peppers, then griddled some halloumi and assembled them into stacks. We drizzled the stacks with some basil-infused oil and topped them with a basil leaf and a roasted cherry […]
