Crunchy Pork Chops
This has become one of our favourite midweek meals; it’s quick, it tastes good and requires very little thought or planning. Tonight we served it with mashed potatoes and steamed greens, very much like last time. We used a different kind of chop (loin) this time which resulted in juicier meat.

On the way home from visiting Kerri’s mum this afternoon, we wandered into the supermarket looking for some lamb to roast, but we couldn’t find any likely candidates. There were no leg cuts, and the shoulders would have taken too long to cook. But then we saw lamb neck fillets. We haven’t had them for […]
Read More..>>Wild Boar Sausages
Kerri was out tonight, and when wondering what to have to eat this evening, I couldn’t really decide on anything. I wandered into Waitrose, wandered down various aisles without being inspired, then ended up loitering next to the fish and meat counters. Nothing fishy caught my eye, but then I saw the wild boar sausages. […]
Read More..>>Steak and Salsa Verde
We have been wondering what to do with the left over salsa verde from our recent halibut. We decided that it would go well with almost anything, but were particularly keen to try it with either steak or lamb chops. Steak won in the end though, so here it is. My steak-cooking skills seem to […]
Read More..>>Roast Pork with Caramelised Apple and Chorizo Stuffing
Firstly, this was really good. I felt I should say that just in case the rest of the entry doesn’t convey it and I forget to add it. That said, what we had was roast pork with a caramelised apple and chorizo stuffing, cooked from this recipe, and also potato and parsnip rosti cooked from […]

A short while ago when visiting my sister, we wandered into a butcher that stocked a lot of South African produce. We bought a wheel of boerewors, which is brilliant on a barbecue (or braai in South African terminology). However, here in England winter is of course on the way and we ended up putting […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken with Anchovy, Chilli, Caper and Basil Rub
Those of you who read yesterday’s post will see what we made a “puttanesca pizza”, which is based on pasta puttanesca. Doing so meant that we had some left-over anchovies, which we used up today. We used them up by combining them with chilli, capers and basil in a mortar and pestle, making a delicious-smelling […]
Read More..>>Baked Potatoes and Chilli
I know, baked potatoes again but we do have a big bag to get through and I’ve never had chilli with baked potatoes before. And it’s cold out and I’ve had a horrible day so this seemed like the very best kind of comfort food. I made the chilli yesterday during my mammoth day of […]
Read More..>>Chicken Casserole
I was home from work today so decided to use the time wisely and do some batch cooking. We bought a whole chicken yesterday which Stephen jointed last night, saving the carcass for stock. I made an early start on the stock so that I could use it in today’s casserole and when it was […]
Read More..>>Baked Potatoes
Stephen and I were away this weekend and arrived home last night. We’ve eaten a fair amount over the past few days so decided on something simple and relatively plain: baked potatoes with pancetta, cheese and mustard. We scooped out the filling and combined it with the grated cheese, mustard and crispy pancetta then piled […]
