Venison and Red Wine Pie
On our way back from the New Forest, we tried to buy some venison for dinner but couldn’t find any anywhere. Each shop we tried told us that they were expecting their delivery shortly but nothing had arrived so far. In the end, we gave up and bought some from our local butcher when we […]
Read More..>>Slow Roast Shoulder of Pork – Leftovers
We only cooked a quarter shoulder yesterday and even though we ate plenty, we were still left with enough pork to serve another four people. A pretty good position to be in, in my opinion. I love leftovers and try as often as I can to make sure we have some, if they don’t get […]
Read More..>>Slow Roast Shoulder of Pork
Slow roast shoulder of lamb is one of our most favourite things to cook and one of the things that gets the most hits on Dinner Diary. We’ve tried a couple of times to create something similar with pork shoulder but never really succeeded in getting anywhere close. It’s been a while since we last […]

If we have a Saturday at home, we usually like to take the opportunity to cook something new. We were at home today but we had a long list of chores to get through and needed something that would sit happily in the oven while we got on with other things. The other thing is […]
Read More..>>Jamie’s Sausage Pasta
This recipe comes from Jamie’s new 30 Minute Meals book which we were sent recently. It’s always the pasta recipes that catch my eye when paging through Jamie’s books and, having highlighted this one and with no plans for dinner, it seemed like a good option for a rainy Tuesday night. I actually saw him […]

We had a roast chicken on Sunday and, of course, there were leftovers. We normally turn these into chicken curry but I was keen to try this Nigella recipe that I’d seen her make on TV recently. We forgot the vegetables and played around with the recipe (adding lemongrass and fish sauce) and it was […]

This is something Stephen has been wanting to cook for a while. I hadn’t heard of it until recently and I don’t recall hearing him mention it either but my knowedge of Indian dishes is very small and I have a very bad memory so this isn’t unusual. I first heard about it a little […]

Stephen’s at they gym at the moment. It’s not unusual for him to be at the gym, he goes regularly but not usually on a Sunday morning. Sunday mornings are usually reserved for leisurely breakfasts and lunch preperation. The reason for this unusual burst of activity? That’s what he had for breakfast this morning. Stephen […]

Saturday night! As we weren’t going out, that meant that it was time to cook something “interesting”. Where the exact meaning of “interesting” does of course vary depending on what mood we are in, but generally cooking on a Saturday means that there is more time available to prepare, so the range of what can […]

Time permitting, I like to have something cooked and in either the fridge or the freezer ready to reheat when we get home from work on a Monday night. It takes me a little while to get used to the fact that the day isn’t my own and, by the time I get home, I’m […]
