Roast Chicken
Tonight we were planning to have a beef stir fry, but we ended up eating the steak last night. We had a chicken which we were going to joint and then use the breasts for the stir fry (and keep the legs for later), but as Kerri was home a bit early today she thought […]
Read More..>>Steak Sandwich
A fairly simple dinner tonight as I’d been playing cricket but got home a lot earlier then I usually do, and we realised that we actually had some time to cook something but hadn’t planned anything. So we “borrowed” the steak from tomorrow’s dinner, cooked that to nice and pink, then sliced it up and […]
Read More..>>Veal Escalope
We’d been wanting to cook veal ever since reading an article in the Metro newspaper about how welfare standards had improved and many of the supermarkets were supporting the production of “friendly” veal. They may well have been supportive but we weren’t able to find any until we popped into Waitrose last week and came […]
Read More..>>Chicken Fajitas in Pitas for Lunch
We’d planned on having chicken salad for lunch but after a visit to the gym we both felt like something more substantial was required. Luckily, we had all the ingredients for chicken fajitas and guacamole. Filling, tasty and hot. Just what we need before we embark on an afternoon of spring (well, autumn really) cleaning.
Read More..>>Pork Shoulder Braised in Cider
Last week Kerri had pork braised in cider for lunch in a rather good gastropub (Great Queen Street on – you guessed it – Great Queen Street in Covent Garden) and wanted to try to recreate it. We had a look around for recipes but eventually just did our own thing. We bought a boned, […]

Our dough turned out a bit too thick again but it was a definite improvement on last time. Garlic bread followed by salami, olive, pepper and rocket for me; tuna, anchovy, olive and pepper for Stephen.

This is another recipe from the mysterious Thai Traditional Cooking: The Mother’s Recipes by Maria Kanigman Saunders that we used last week to make the beef stir-fry. Once again, the recipe was easy to follow and quick. I spent a few minutes chopping up the ingredients and Stephen cooked it when he got home. It […]
Read More..>>Chicken with Butter Beans and Chorizo
We’d planned to have this for lunch yesterday but changed our plans as the weather was so good. The chicken needed to be used up though so we cooked it anyway and just re-heated it this evening. It was really tasty and very easy to cook, it could easily be done after work…as long as […]
Read More..>>Final Barbecue of the Year (Probably…)
As evidenced by yesterday’s steak and kidney pie, we seem to have moved almost completely into winter cooking mode already. However, today’s weather was rather good and it seemed like a good day to squeeze in one last barbecue (although we will of course be glad of any opportunity to have another one!). We haven’t […]
Read More..>>Steak and Kidney Pie
It’s been a while since we’ve made any sort of pie other than cottage pie, and as we’ve had to much wintery weather lately, we decided that today would be a good day for it. As it was, the weather turned out to be rather nice, but we were so excited at the prospect of […]
