Salami, Pesto and Watercress Pizza
Stephen mentioned in passing that he was considering taking a break from his wheat-free diet as he was craving bread. As a confirmed bread-lover, I’ve missed homemade pizza the most since Stephen’s experiment started so, seconds after he admitted his resolve was weakening, I’d convinced him we should eat pizza for dinner. We had rather […]
Read More..>>Thai Red Chicken Curry
We’ve been without broadband for a few days, due to some unknown BT fault, hence the very late update – we actually ate this on Wednesday. I feel I should try to say something interesting, given the gap in posting, but this was actually made with ready-made paste that has been in the freezer for […]
Read More..>>An English Tortilla
I’ve been wanting to do something with asparagus, bacon and English cheese for a while. I like the popular Italian combination of asparagus with grated parmesan wrapped in Parma ham but with something so typically English like asparagus, it seems a shame to rely on Italian accompaniments and not celebrate other good, English ingredients. Of […]

After the success of the recent shooter’s sandwich, Stephen and I began to think of other ways to pimp the humble sandwich. This has been on my list of things to “cook” for a long time and seemed the obvious choice. What wasn’t so obvious was just how I was going to get through the […]
Read More..>>Anchovy and Asparagus Pasta
This was mostly the same as the spaghetti and anchovies I ate on Tuesday, just with the addition of asparagus. I’ve got a big bag full of asparagus stalks in the fridge that I’ve been wondering what to do with, a couple of years ago I made asparagus pesto which I remember as being really […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken
While staying with my mum, I remembered that last time I had visited, I froze a roast chicken. I can’t remember why, I suspect we just made other plans for lunch but, knowing it was there, I decided I would roast it on Friday night. I defrosted it slowly overnight but, when it came to […]
Read More..>>East Quay – Whitstable
A bit of a backlog of posts, since I’ve been staying in Kent with my mum. Stephen came down for the weekend and, since it wasn’t raining, we drove down to Whitstable for the day. We decided to have lunch at a place Stephen and I first ate at years, ago: East Quay, which is […]
Read More..>>Springbok Fillet and Jersey Royals
Kerri went to visit Borough Market on Friday to buy a few things and she asked if I could think of anything else that I would like her to get while she was there. I racked my brains for something interesting that was hard to find elsewhere and eventually thought of springbok, which Gamston Wood […]
Read More..>>Shooter’s Sandwich
Stephen and I have been keeping a keen eye on the weather all week and when we realised it was going to be 23 degrees today, we started planning some outdoor food. We initially considered a barbecue but eventually settled on a picnic in the park: much less effort which would result in more time […]
Read More..>>Spaghetti alla Vodka with Crayfish
A quick dinner this evening based on our recent success with spaghetti alla vodka. At the time, Kerri had commented that it would be good with things added into it and this evening those things were little crayfish tails. We followed the recipe pretty much exactly as it is in the link above, except that […]
