Kung Pao Cauliflower
Since starting my blog another benefit I have discovered is seeing other people’s food blogs too! There are a few I follow regulary and this recipe stuck out immediately and I have been wanting to try it for a while. I love spicy Szechuan food and I am a big fan of cauliflower and am …
Chicken meatballs with preserved lemon and harissa relish – Yotam Ottolenghi
I saw 10 minutes of a cooking programme last week as I was flicking through a sea of rubbish channels and saw this little beauty being made.. 3 days later it was in my belly! This is not my recipe at all and I have not tweaked it apart from cheating a bit with …
Beef Cheek Stew!
I am not usually squeamish about touching raw meat but I must admit this did feel a bit wrong, maybe just because its not a meat I have used before. I have always wanted to give this a go though as I love beef that has been cooked until it is falling apart I spotted …
South Indian Chicken Curry
This is a pretty simple and effective curry that anyone could make! When I first started trying to make a curry I used to use way too many spices by just chucking them all in, then I found a really complicated recipe that took hours to prepare. With lots of trial and error I have …

This was a long process which also included a trial run for my xmas day starter, thankfully the only course I was in charge of this year! I found a recipe for ham hock terrine in Delicious magazine which I used for my trial run but altered it slightly for the final product as I …

Butternut Squash with ginger, chilli tomatoes and lime yoghurt
I got a free 40 page recipe booklet in my copy of “Good Food” this week which is a taster of a new cookbook called NOPI by Yotam Ottolenghi. I had a look through and there is a lot of stuff that excites me so you may be seeing quite a few of these in the …
Matar Paneer
A very tasty vegetarian curry that I thoroughly enjoyed! I used a traditional recipe but threw in a few things of my own near the end to enhance the taste so maybe not truly authentic! I started with a recipe from “Curry Nation” by Madhur Jaffrey. Ingredients Serves 4 1 large block of Paneer Cheese …
Spiced Black Bean and Chicken Soup with Kale
I have been wanting to make this one for months now after I saw in in BBC Good Food magazine but never got round to it and always struggled to find the black beans! Then I found some in Morrisons. Gave it a go for tea tonight and it is going to become a staple …
