Five Spice Steak
[10-15 Mins] I have been making this for years after seeing it on a Jamie Oliver cooking show. It was supossed to be a boring tea night tonight.. meat, veg, spuds but I couldn’t do it to myself – I wanted flavour! PS – Have you noticed you dont need to scroll down through 5 …
Garlic and Chilli Crispy Chicken
This is a chicken take on a cauliflower dish I had at Lily’s restaurant recently called Gobi Manchurian. I thought it would be nice with crispy chicken too AND there is way too much cauliflower on the blog. It is quite simple to make the sauce as you are using things you probably have in …
Chicken Curry with Black Pepper
Another week another curry! I just can’t get enough. This is really simple and effective and uses things you probably already have in your cupboards so can be rustled up easily for a midweek meal. I used chicken thighs on the bone for this but you could use them without the bone if you …
Salt and Pepper Sweet Potato Wedges
Stuck at home with a poorly baby, just come back from a weekend away and Ocado is due at 7.30pm, there is NOTHING in the house apart from a few bits of veg and a bag of sweet potatoes… I considered making soup but soup is boring, I don’t feel like I’ve eaten if …
Orecchiette Pasta with Pancetta, Mushroom and Cavolo Nero
Tea last night was an invention test as I have a big bush of sage growing in the garden and I wanted to make use of it! Sage isnt a herb I cook with often but I opened the fridge and found hal;f a pack of pancetta and some cavolo nero that I didnt know …
Kung Pao Chicken
It’s a miracle this meal happened considering the delicate state I was in yesterday after way too much wine at a wedding the day before but I wanted to have a chinese meal without all the takeaway calories so this was the only way! It is surprisingly quick and simple to make as long as …
Achari Lamb
This has become my favourite curry to make, it takes a little more effort than some and a few unusual ingredients but it gives me that rich and tangy curry taste that I crave. You can use any meat but I have tried a few and I think that lamb gives it a richer flavour, …
Chicken and Aubergine Stew with Capers and Pine Nuts
Jamie Oliver has a new show, pitched just before winter so his book can come out for Christmas probably! ( Cynical I know..) I fast forwarded through all his chat and making up of stupid words and sounds ( He takes onomatopoeia to a whole new level.) then, right at the end saw …
Cauliflower Tacos
The cauliflower I remember from childhood was almost like mashed potato it had been boiled that much! ( sorry Grandma G) but I grew to really like it like that if I am honest. These days there are so many more uses for cauliflower and I have recently seen cauliflower pizza bases, cauliflower rice, cauliflower …
Slow Cooked Beef Curry
You have probably noticed by now that I love curry, in fact anything with the 3 amigos!(chilli, garlic and ginger). That may be why I get so enraged when I go to chain pubs for food and see the same old crap served with chips everytime! Hunters chicken anyone?? NO THANKS. After a week away …
