Fennel and Herb Meatballs.
A nice and tasty midweek tea that doesn’t need much too much effort. Inspired and tweaked from a recipe in Olive magazine. I am aware that I have quite a few meatball recipes already on the blog but I really enjoyed these meatballs and would like it again so I am posting for my benefit …
Chicken and Chorizo bake with Red Peppers and Sweet Potato.
I have made this a couple of times now from one of Jamie Oliver’s books but have tweaked it to make it better 😉 It needed more chorizo for a start! It’s a easy but tasty midweek tea and can be prepared in advance so handy for after a busy day at work. Ingredients Serves …
Slow roasted Tuscan Pork
Vegetarian followers look away now. A change from the spicy stuff this week and plenty more of this to come… I have a freezer full of pig, a quarter of a pig to be precise!! Back in September we visited an old friend who had decided to start raising pigs for meat and we went …
Chicken Shawarma Kebab with salad and sauce!
I love junk food and love a good kebab but you can easily make your own and not feel as guilty! I made a batch of these on New Years Eve and people have been asking for the recipe ever since. The naan breads I use look cheap and cheerful but these are the …
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 …

Vegetarian Stuffed Aubergines
I have been eating a lot of bulgar wheat lately, I find it soaks up flavours really well and it’s a lot more beneficial for you than a lot of other grains. It is high in protein, low in carbs, low in fat, high in fiber and rich in minerals. It can reduce the risk …
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 …
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 …
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 …
