Thai Style Mussels
Lately we have been cooking a number of different Thai dishes and happened to have some curry paste left over that we had made for the rabbit curry. We didn’t want to waste it, so we tried to think of something interesting to do with it. Kerri thought of using it to cook a Thai […]
Read More..>>Thai Green Papaya Salad, Mackerel Braised with Green Papaya, and Pork and Green Bean Red Curry
The title is a bit of a mouthful, but it needs to be to cover everything that we ate. We have been on a bit of a Thai theme for a few weeks now and it culminated in dinner with friends last night. One of the big points about Thai menus is that they should […]
Read More..>>Thai Rabbit Curry
Last year when we visited Kerri’s mum one weekend, she had bought a rabbit for us really cheaply. When she recently asked if we wanted another one, we of course said that no, we wanted two. So we picked them up this past weekend. As we have a tiny freezer, we left one there and […]
Read More..>>Thai Prawn Soup Again
We were planning on cooking moules mariniere tonight, but neither of the shops that we visited had mussels, so we scrapped that idea. Then we thought we would do some sort of spaghetti with prawns, so we bought some prawns. When it came to discussing exactly what sort of “spaghetti with prawns” we would have, […]

Kerri was out having lunch with a friend today and I volunteered to find something for dinner. After all the soup that we have been eating lately, Kerri said that she wanted something quite hearty and not soup-related for dinner today. I set to work looking through the excellent Thai Food by David Thompson, which […]

We had planned to cook rack of lamb tonight but we’re having lunch with Stephen’s sister tomorrow and she told us she’s planning to cook roast lamb. As much as we both love lamb, we didn’t want to eat it twice in a row so found ourselves in a bit of a quandary this morning […]
Read More..>>Beef Rendang
This dish has been following us around lately, we saw Rick Stein cook it last week and then Dan from Food Urchin also posted his version. We saw it as a sign and resolved to make it as soon as we could. As with most South East Asian dishes, there are various different recipes available, […]
Read More..>>Steamed Salmon with Stir Fried Vegetables
After a long weekend in Sweden where we survived mostly on crisps and Daim bar ice-cream, something light with plenty of vegetables was definitely required this evening. A quick browse through the vegetable archive of the site led me to a steamed fish dish which was exactly what I was looking for. I started off […]
Read More..>>Red Thai Chicken Curry
We have been on a draconian clear-the-freezer mission lately, and as it turned out we had both chicken legs and red curry paste in there. Which meant that we needed to make red curry with chicken of course. It was shop paste rather than home made, we must admit; hence we had loads of it […]
Read More..>>Thai Green Curry With Chicken
This is an old favourite and one that we eat often, or so I thought. It turns out we last ate it in September which is really quite a while ago. Like last time, we speeded things up again (by adding the vegetables earlier and cooking the curry for a shorter time) and it seemed […]
