Thai Green Curry
We cooked green curry almost every week for a while, but haven’t done so for some time and decided to end the green curry drought today. We had bought the ingredients when we were in Chinatown on Saturday, so this evening when I got home from work I started preparing the paste. I managed to […]

This is a recipe that I cut out from Delicious ages ago which we thought would fit in with our healthy eating plan. The recipe said it took 50 minutes but we did it in about half an hour and it was really good. We’ve done a number of chickeny/tomatoey/winey dishes before but this is […]

We spent Christmas with my mum and cooked lunch for the three of us there. As there was only the three of us we had chicken instead of turkey which we prefer anyway. The chicken was cooked in our usual way, rubbed with oil and salt and pepper and stuffed with herbs, lemon, onion and […]

Stephen bought some chicken legs and thighs for a casserole a couple of weeks ago but we didn’t get round to making it so froze them. In an effort to clear out the fridge before Christmas, we used them up this evening. We browned the chicken pieces before adding them to some vegetables, wine and […]

The title says it all really. We made guacamole to our usual recipe (avocado, red onion, lime juice, chilli, coriander, garlic, salt and pepper) and served it with some toasted corn wraps. We attempted to make salsa but it came out too watery (I caught Stephen drinking it when he thought I wasn’t looking) although […]

Today we cooked a roast chicken, for five people. We bought a rather large chicken and cooked it upside down so that it wouldn’t dry out. We had intended to turn it over for the last twenty minutes, but forgot. So the result was that it was tasty and moist, but didn’t look very photogenic. […]

Not all that exciting because we make this a lot but this was a particularly good example. We used the reduced fat coconut milk again and I don’t think I’d have been able to tell if I didn’t know as the liquid was really creamy and tasty. We added some small, purple aubergines that we […]
Read More..>>Chicken and Chilli and Basil
Another Monday, another chicken stir-fry. Make a paste with four cloves of garlic and two birds-eye chillis and fry. Add the leftover chicken and heat through, throw in the vegetables and holy basil and cook through. Add two tablespoons of soy sauce and two tablespoons of fish sauce. Put the lid on and cook for […]
Read More..>>Thai Green Curry with Chicken
Stephen had a busy day shopping in Chinatown on Saturday afternoon buying ingredients for Thai curry paste which he made up in the afternoon. We used the paste last night to make a green curry which was delicoulsy fragrant and zesty. We used reduced fat coconut milk for the first time to save some calories, […]
Read More..>>Thai Banquet
We’d been planning to go to Oriental City last night and buy ingredients for a Thai banquet; we didn’t end up going but managed to scavenge enough ingredients from the shops of Fulham to put it together anyway. First up were prawn crackers. Friends of ours had actually bought these for us from Oriental City […]
