Lamb Cutlets
Lamb chops, steamed broccoli and some roasted butternut squash. The lamb was good, crunchy on the outside and perfectly pink in the middle. The butternut was roasted for quite a while but stayed quite soft and the spices we roasted it in (left over from last week’s oxtail) didn’t work very well. The broccoli was […]
Read More..>>Rabbit Ragu with Pappardelle
As Stephen mentioned yesterday, we planned this dish when we knew we would be in receipt of a rabbit which meant we could start the preparation while cooking yesterday’s dinner. After removing the meat we needed for the curry, we were left with the bones and the legs; the bones went into the stock pot […]

Last year when we visited Kerri’s mum one weekend, she had bought a rabbit for us really cheaply. When she recently asked if we wanted another one, we of course said that no, we wanted two. So we picked them up this past weekend. As we have a tiny freezer, we left one there and […]

We spent the weekend at my mum’s in Kent and, knowing that we had a busy day ahead, decided on slow roast shoulder of lamb for Sunday’s lunch. One of the great things about this dish is that it cooks on a low heat for a long time which gives you plenty of time to […]

Neither of us felt very inspired when it came to Friday night’s dinner and there wasn’t much to work with in the cupboards or fridge either. Having found some sausages in the freezer we excitedly considered sausages and mashed potatoes or toad in the hole but we didn’t have any eggs or potatoes, it was […]

Kerri was out having lunch with a friend today and I volunteered to find something for dinner. After all the soup that we have been eating lately, Kerri said that she wanted something quite hearty and not soup-related for dinner today. I set to work looking through the excellent Thai Food by David Thompson, which […]

We had planned to cook rack of lamb tonight but we’re having lunch with Stephen’s sister tomorrow and she told us she’s planning to cook roast lamb. As much as we both love lamb, we didn’t want to eat it twice in a row so found ourselves in a bit of a quandary this morning […]

One of our friends had the giant puffballs on toast. We were all intrigued as to just how giant the mushrooms would be and, having asked the waitress, she brought it out to show us. The picture is rather fuzzy but it does at least give an idea of the size, enormous! Although I didn’t […]
Read More..>>Bubble and Squeak
After last night’s roast pork, we found ourselves with various left overs, including roast potatoes, cabbage, runner beans and some of the pork itself. Kerri was rather excited at the prospect of making bubble and squeak which is a favourite of hers, so we kept all the leftovers and set about making it this evening. […]
Read More..>>Roast Pork
We had an early dinner of roast pork today, with a garlic, bay and sage rub, sage and onion stuffing, crackling and roast potatoes. Roast pork is one of our favourites and it’s been a while since we had it, it was lovely but next time I think we’ll try a larger, bone-in leg as […]
