Chicken and Cannellini Beans
While I get on with clearing the backlog, here’s a quick and easy dish you can throw together in no time. I cooked this on Monday night while waiting for something from the freezer to heat up. It went into the fridge overnight and just needed heating up the next day. You could eat it […]
Read More..>>A Tale of Two Curries
I wasn’t going to post this since the pictures came out so badly but our friends who came and ate this with us asked for the pork recipe so here it is. We don’t have a very large dining table so don’t entertain at home as much as we would like to. When we do […]

I’ve been working on this recipe for ages, months in fact and finally got round to making it a couple of weeks ago and it didn’t turn out well. I wonder if it’s because I spent so much time on it or if the combination of ingredients we just ill-conceived in the first place. I’m […]
Read More..>>Chicken Tagine
Chicken tagine seems to have replaced ordinary roast chicken as our favourite Sunday lunch, well, it has for me anyway. I think it’s something to do with the fact that having disliked the flavour of aniseed for so long, I’ve finally grown to love fennel and now want to eat it at every opportunity. I […]
Read More..>>Thai Chicken Noodle Soup
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 […]
Read More..>>Chicken Tagine
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 […]
Read More..>>Chicken in Fried Onion Sauce with Mustard and Fennel Cauliflower
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..>>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..>>Yam Talay and Khmer Chicken Samla with Coconut Milk
Thai food used to appear in our kitchen very regularly since we both love the hot, sour, salty, sweet combination and Stephen is obsessed with buying catering sized bags of chillies and shallots and pounding them up in the mortar and pestle. Our local Thai supermarket has closed down and while it’s easy to find […]
Read More..>>Pot Roasted Chicken
After a weekend of disappointing food, I was lucky enough to have the day at home today to rectify things. In desperate need of something satisfying and comforting, I had originally planned a roast chicken but decided at the last minute to pot roast it instead and see if I could come up with something […]
