Carbonnade of Beef
We ate carbonnade of beef when we were in Brussels and immediately vowed to make it when we got home since it was so good. We had a whole day at home today which was lovely and while we wanted to spend some time in the kitchen, neither of us wanted to be in there […]
Read More..>>Burgers
First of all, I should probably point out that we’re not dead. And apologise to those people who have emailed us to check that the mystery dinner wasn’t the end of us after all. We’ve just been busy. Again. This was actually last Friday night’s dinner, eaten on our laps in front of the TV. […]
Read More..>>Mystery Dinner
We have a blackboard in our kitchen that lists the items in our freezer. Sounds a bit anal I know but, even though it’s a really small freezer, I’ve becoming pretty good at filling it full of stuff. We have a selection of different sized freezer bags to use in said freezer, the type that […]
Read More..>>Slow Roast Shoulder of Lamb – The Leftovers
The best thing about cooking a half shoulder of lamb for just two people? The leftovers. You don’t need a recipe for this: just heat up a wrap, add some hummus or tzatziki (or both), some salad and the lamb, roll it up and eat.
Read More..>>Slow Roast Shoulder of Lamb – Moroccan Style
Due to our successes with slow roasting a shoulder of lamb with garlic and rosemary, we thought we would try a different slant on it this weekend and give it a Moroccan style treatment. We had half a shoulder and the evening before cooking it, we rubbed it with a spice mix and left it […]

It’s been so long that I’m not sure anyone is still reading, if you are then thanks for being so patient while we’ve been off enjoying ourselves. The Summer has been brilliant fun but not much of it has been spent in the kitchen. We have of course been eating and, as is now second […]
Read More..>>Steak and Pickled Mushrooms
Kerri was out tonight so it was up to me to cook my own dinner and I found that I was craving STEAK. But in an attempt to be reasonable and not over-indulge after last week’s continual over-indulgence, I bought a smallish steak. Which meant that I over-cooked it while being distracted by the smoke […]
Read More..>>A Week in Devon
We spent last week in Devon, staying near Totnes which Wikipedia describes in the following way “It has a sizeable alternative and “New Age” community, and is known as a place where one can live a bohemian lifestyle.†While I’m not sure bohemian is exactly the right way to describe us, we certainly enjoyed a […]
Read More..>>Stir-Fried Chicken
We went to Brussels for the Bank Holiday weekend (post to follow) and, on our return, resolved to eat healthily to rid our bodies of all the Belgian beer, mussels and chocolate we ate while we were away. Some kind of stir fried chicken is what we usually opt for when we want something that […]
Read More..>>Leftover Pork Wraps
We knew we were going to have leftover pork so planned ahead to make pork wraps. Unfortunately, we had a small domestic emergency while cooking and had to down tools for a while to deal with it. This left us both a bit flustered and meant we forgot to add the lettuce and cheese to […]
