Chilli and Chicken Ramen

I have been eating a lot of soup recently to try and keep the pounds off but quite frankly – ITS BORING!! It doesn’t even feel like eating so I had a think about how I could make it more interested and remembered a Ramen I had once at Wagamama. I looked at a few …

Chinese Style Beef with Green Peppers and Pepper and Honey sauce.

I am back! Don’t get much time for blogging and cooking over the summer as I try not to spend too much time at home at the weekends but now its getting dark and cold my kitchen is beckoning! I went for a Chinese meal at weekend ( Phoenix City – Stalybridge) and it was …

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 …

Buttermilk Fried Chicken

I told you this blog wouldn’t be just for swanky food – here is another comfort food for you! If you get this kind of thing from KFC you get a whole piece with the skin on and a bone in the middle, I used bonless and skinless thighs for this – just because that …

King Prawn Yakisoba

A dish I always order at Wagamama although I think theirs is with chicken. You could add chicken instead of prawn to this though or both if you are feeling generous! This is an easy 15 minute tea and not too bad for you (just don’t use loads of oil) I doubted the sauce in …

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 …

Wagyu Mac

It’s that time again – Aldi bring back the wagyu burgers and people start buying in bulk so that they are all gone within a day! I had to stop myself at 4 packets as it looked a bit greedy! The first time I tried and even heard of Wagyu beef was in Japan at …

Donner Kebab Meat!

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 …

Hot and sweet dipping sauce.

This is a sauce that I have mentioned in a previous recipe that I saw in Olive magazine but I now regard the magazine one as a cheat version.  I made this to serve with my popadoms and samosas this weekend. The sauce I made was.. (Cheats version) 2 tbsp Sriracha chilli sauce or Sambal Oelek …

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 …
