Stir Fried Vegetables with Roasted Salmon
Does this look familiar at all? If it does it’ll be because this is basically the same as last night’s dinner, except with salmon instead of chicken. I roasted the salmon in the oven with some garlic, chilli and ginger and stir fried the vegetables seperately in the same sauce of oyster sauce, soy sauce […]
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..>>Barbecue
I think summer has arrived. I could be wrong but in the interests of making the most of it while it lasts, Stephen and I barbecued yesterday. We’d been talking to a friend on Friday night about how good barbecued mackerel is so decided to have that, along with some bream. We also had corn, […]
Read More..>>Scallops and Samphire
Yesterday we visited our local farmer’s market and were lucky enough to find samphire. We’ve heard a lot about it recently but haven’t seen it anywhere so we were both really excited to find it at the market. Online recipes were pretty scarce, I found a few risottos but not much else apart from a […]
Read More..>>Aubergine, Pepper and Halloumi Stacks
This is our first attempt at cooking something for “in the bag”. The ingredients this month were aubergine, peppers and basil. We roasted the aubergine and peppers, then griddled some halloumi and assembled them into stacks. We drizzled the stacks with some basil-infused oil and topped them with a basil leaf and a roasted cherry […]
Read More..>>Stir Fried Beef
After yeserday’s not-very-successful braised beef, we were left with a surfeit of meat which we stir fried this evening. This was much more successful than yesterday’s offering and here, mostly for my mum’s sake, is the recipe. Hi mum 🙂 Ingredients Leftover beef, sliced into strips Onion – half, sliced into moons Garlic – two […]
Read More..>>Barbecued Burgers
This afternoon we had burgers on the barbecue. We bought some beef mince and Kerri made up some burgers with onion, parsely, salt, pepper and mustard. To start, we had some salad with borage, which was apparently “herb of the week” at Waitrose. Normally, I’d be quite put off by such blatant marketing tactics, but […]
Read More..>>Baked Potatoes with Smoked Trout and Horseradish
Mmmm baked potatoes. They take a long time to do, but they’re worth it. We baked some potatoes, then scooped out the insides and mixed in flaked smoked trout, parsely, grated cheddar, butter and horseradish. Then we put some more grated cheese onto the top and put them under the grill. The result was really […]
Read More..>>Fried Halloumi…
…with Delia’s lime and coriander vinaigrette. But without the coriander because we didn’t have any. I was secretly pleased because I don’t really like it anyway, I think it tastes like washing-up liquid. We used mint instead and it worked well. Stephen said it was a bit like a savoury mojito. We served the fried […]

There was a really bad storm while we were away and unfortunately the majority of our vegetables didn’t survive, which is a real shame because everything seemed to be coming on well before we left. We did manage to salvage two broad beans which we steamed and added to our bean salad earlier today. Shame […]
