Fried Halloumi…
…with Delia’s lime and coriander vinaigrette. But without the coriander because we didn’t have any. I was secretly pleased because I don’t really like it anyway, I think it tastes like washing-up liquid. We used mint instead and it worked well. Stephen said it was a bit like a savoury mojito. We served the fried […]

We’re back from our trip to Sweden where Stephen’s team won both their cricket matches. For the first part of the trip we stayed in a small town with only two restaurants, both of which served pizza and kebabs. We therefore ate pizza: One of the opposition ate kebab pizza (perhaps that’s why they lost): […]
Read More..>>Salami, Cheese and Olives
Last night we had a simple snack of salami, cheese, olives and bread while watching television. The cheeses were mature cheddar, smoked cheddar and an ash-rolled goats’ milk cheese. I’d bought the smoked cheddar and goats’ cheese at the farmers’ market in Hammersmith on Thursday and both were really good, which meant that the supermarket […]

Stephen and I went out for lunch today so decided on fishy salad for dinner. When we got home though, we both changed our minds. I felt like spaghetti with my salmon and Stephen was craving a cheese salad. So, that’s what we did. I can’t comment on the cheese salad but the salmon spaghetti […]

On Friday night we had a “picnic” at home with a mixture of Italian nibbly things and some French cheese. Marinated olives, tricolore salad (with really nice mozarella), San Danielle prosciutto, Napoli salami and Munster cheese.

We’ve had this rice in the cupboard for a while but haven’t really known what to do with it so tonight we tried this Delia Smith recipe. It was tasty but not brilliant; there was a lot of raw onion, shallot and garlic in it which made it quite sharp. The rice itself was highly […]

In my “things to cook soon” file, I’ve had Nigella’s Welsh Rarebit Muffin recipe for ages but never gotten around to making it. Speaking to someone I know this week, she mentioned that she’d had mixed results with the recipe and suggested I try this instead, Cheese and Pancetta Muffins from UKTV Food. We left […]
Read More..>>Cheese Crumpets
Stephen was out tonight and I had planned to use up the smoked mackerel fillets we bought last time he was out (I couldn’t be bothered to eat them that time) but I just couldn’t be bothered – again. So, I foraged around and found some crumpets that were dangerously close to their sell-by date […]
