Byron
There isn’t much I can say about Blogger’s favourite Byron that hasn’t already been said but I’m adding this as much for the record as anything else. I don’t much like writing about food I’ve not cooked myself and I’ve never eaten a proper American hamburger so am certainly no expert on the subject but […]
Read More..>>Roast Rib of Beef
Like most people, tomorrow we go back to work (I actually start a new job) after the Christmas and New Year Holiday. As a final fling before the inevitable new-year guilt kicks in, we chose a rib of beef for lunch today, served with roast potatoes, roast parsnips, Yorkshire pudding and vegetables. We followed Hugh […]
Read More..>>Chilli and Chicken Fajitas
It was my brother’s 30th birthday last week so, apart from the surprise dinner which we didn’t photograph, we invited some people to my mum’s house for his choice of dinner. He opted for chilli con carne which we duly provided, alongside a bean chilli for the non meat-eaters and some less spicy chicken fajitas […]
Read More..>>Steak
We spent Saturday night at a Christmas fair in Kent with some friends of ours. It was a particularly wet and miserable night so we were glad to get back to their house to dry out and get on with dinner. We had originally planned to visit a butcher they had found in Canterbury but […]
Read More..>>Yorkshire Pudding
I’ve had a stomach bug for the last few days which means I’ve mostly been eating dry bread and drinking water. Despite our dedication to posting almost everything we eat, we both felt that was pushing the concept of Dinner Diary somewhat which is why it’s been a bit quiet around here lately. Feeling better […]
Read More..>>Bonfire Food
This title was suggested by my brother and it’s very apt, not just because we cooked the brownies and cheesecake to take to a bonfire party. Our oven is broken and we’re waiting for a new one to be fitted. Having suggested we take dessert along to the afore-mentioned bonfire party on Saturday night, Stephen […]
Read More..>>Roast Bone Marrow with Parsley Salad, St John Style
While wandering randomly around a specialist food shop this afternoon and browsing the meat counter, I saw beef marrow bones. It can be hard to find these in today’s modern, fillet-steak-eating-and-offal-hating world and they immediately made me reminisce about the bone marrow salad that I once had at St John several years ago and keep […]
Read More..>>A Tale of Two Roasts
We spent the weekend at my mum’s in Kent and, knowing that we had a busy day ahead, decided on slow roast shoulder of lamb for Sunday’s lunch. One of the great things about this dish is that it cooks on a low heat for a long time which gives you plenty of time to […]
Read More..>>Thai Muslim Oxtail Soup
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 […]
Read More..>>Chilli with Roasted Peppers
Having complete an enormous, Supermarket Sweep style shopping trip at the local supermarket on Sunday, we found ourselves with rather a lot of minced beef that was destined for a pot of chilli. Feeling a little delicate yesterday, Stephen and I stayed behind while the majority of the group went walking in the rain. Not […]
