A tasty quick and simple mid week tea that has left a lovely taste in my mouth! You can also have this without the prawns for a nice vegetarian dish. This is a variation of a recipe I read in my Olive magazine. Why people buy jars of horrible tasting pasta sauce is beyond me …

It’s been a while, I’m sorry, It was pointed out to me yesterday by Carole that I have not wrote anything for a while.. but December has kept me very busy with gigs and boozing! This Saturday morning however, the child was at grandmas and I had chance to watch a bit of Saturday kitchen …

My first attempt at pea soup last night and I was really impressed with the taste and how easy it was. Made a big batch so I can freeze a few portions. Ingredients. Serves 4 big bowls. 1 tbsp olive oil 3 large shallots or 1 small onion 2 large garlic cloves chopped 1 large …

I love good food but I also love dirty food! Donner meat, spam, pork scratchings.. if it tastes good I like it – no food snobbery with me. I do like a dirty donner kebab now and then and I don’t even have to be drunk! but there is always the worry of what you are …

My mother in law taught me this recipe – it is the simplest soup recipe you will ever see but a tasty and filling meal! The kind of soup that is easy to make just before pay day when there is nothing in the fridge and only a tin of beans in the cupboard!! This …

An impressive beast of a pie that feeds around 12 people! I made one recently and took on a camping trip and we ate it on the beach. Looks like a lot of effort but it really is not that difficult. Need to make sure I seal the top better next time though as a …
