Barbecue
Yesterday, we went to a friend’s barbecue. We’d been keeping our fingers crossed all week that the weather was going to co-operate and we were lucky, apart from a few spots of rain just as the food went on the grill, it stayed dry. Darren is famous for his guacamole, and he didn’t let us […]
Read More..>>Chicken Stuffed with Tapenade and Sundried Tomatoes
Tonight we made our own tapenade and used it to stuff chicken breasts. We added some plump, juicy sundried tomatoes to counteract the strong flavours of the tapenade and then baked the chicken in the oven. Served with some new potatoes and our usual vegetables for this time of year – runner beans and purple […]
Read More..>>Salt Marsh Lamb
Today we returned from a weekend in Suffolk where I played cricket (and we won!) and on the way back to London, dropped in at The Food Company at Marks Tey. There we picked up half a leg of salt marsh lamb (amongst other things) and cooked it when we got home. Kerri spiked the […]
Read More..>>Bulgaria
So Bulgarian food..we weren’t sure what to expect really but thought it might be a little like Greek food. I suppose it was really, lots of grilled meat and salad. Lots of salad. Salad which is basically big chunks of tomato, cucumber and celery with grated white cheese on top, an olive and a sprig […]
Read More..>>Chicken Salad
Not very imaginative but a good way to use up the leftover chicken on a warm day. This salad was made particlarly good by the adition of a perfectly ripe avocado and a simple dressing of lemon, oil and Dijon mustard. I forgot to buy carrots though and Stephen took the yellow pepper for the […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken
We’re just back from a long weekend in Bulgaria, so what was the first thing we decided to eat? Roast chicken of course, it’s tradition now 🙂 We ate some interesting food in Bulgaria, mostly grilled meats and chunky salads. We’ll post some pictures when I can find the camera lead. The roast chicken was […]
Read More..>>Barbecued Steak
Kerri suggested that as the weather was good today, we should barbecue this evening. A good idea it was too, but I think the weather disagreed with us and it started clouding over. It was still good enough to barbecue when the time came though. We’re on a health kick at the moment and I […]
Read More..>>Stir Fried Chicken
It’s another healthy eating week for us, we’re going on holiday on Friday and expect to be eating and drinking too much so this is a sort of pre-emptive strike. We decided on a carb-light dinner of stir fried chicken which was really tasty, and quick too which is key…if we don’t eat soon after […]
Read More..>>Brownish-Green Thai Curry
While cooking Thai green curry this evening, I was wondering how to make it slightly differently because we have had it quite a few times over the past few months. While pondering this, I was not really paying attention and burnt the chicken slightly. Which I’m claiming makes it brownish-green curry rather than green curry; […]
Read More..>>Chicken Basque
Today was really rainy and evil and nasty. We went out for lunch and were completely drenched going three blocks to the pub even though we had umbrellas. (Tip: If you have wet socks in the office, hang them behind your PC to get dry; the outflow from the fan is quite warm and will […]
