Toad in the Hole
Today was the last day of British Sausage Week, so we obviously had to have sausages as we haven’t had any yet this week. We bought some herby pork sausages from our local butcher and made toad in the hole. From what I can remember, it’s the first time we’ve made it. It turned out […]
Read More..>>Stuffed Lamb
I was out after work this evening so Stephen was in charge of dinner. I got home to the smell of something sweet and roasty which turned out to be roasted sweet potato. This was the accompaniment to some brilliant stuffed lamb fillets which he served with roasted red pepper and, of course, the sweet […]
Read More..>>Beef Casserole – take two
I can be pretty fickle when it comes to food – quite often I find something I love and I want to eat it all the time, other times I might think something is brilliant but eat it once and then not want to eat it again. Tonight was one of those nights. There was […]
Read More..>>Beef Casserole
Strangely, on Saturday Kitchen yesterday morning, they cooked some Thai food (a Phad Thai with approximately a thousand scallops… mmmmm!) and also beef casserole. This fitted in rather well with our plans for the weekend, as we had been planning Thai food last night and beef casserole today. Spooky really. Anyway, we took it as […]
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 […]

I was out tonight and when I got home, Kerri had cooked meatballs and spaghetti. We’ve had these once or twice before. Kerri didn’t like them this time, but I didn’t think they were too bad; needed a bit more seasoning and depth of flavour perhaps. Funny how you can try the same recipe more […]
Read More..>>Sausage Pasta
I did a mini freezer audit today and found some sausages lurking at the back that looked like they needed using up. Stephen was out watching the rugby so I thought I’d use them in a pasta sauce. I don’t think I’ve used sausages this way before, I removed the casings, fried them with some […]

Read More..>>Butternut and Chorizo Risotto
While looking through our folder of recipes to try we came across a Waitrose recipe for butternut and goats cheese risotto which we thought we could adapt to include chorizo. When we came to cook it though it seemed to be a bit of a cheat’s recipe as it required the stock to be added […]
Read More..>>Lemongrass Beef Stirfry
We’ve been rather fond of grilled marinated lemongrass beef in the past and today we decided to try including marinated lemongrass beef in a stir fry and we were pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. We mashed up two thirds of a stalk of lemongrass in the mortar and pestle with a clove of […]
