[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 …
Greek style Lamb and Potatoes
The other half was watching a Rick Stein programme one evening after I had gone to bed and liked what he saw… He KNEW that if he recorded it and showed me the next day he would get it for tea very soon! He’s not daft! This was cooked in an outdoor wood oven on …
Garlic and Rosemary Gnocchi
This was an invention that I made during a rainy day in the camper van in Sarnen, Switzerland. Nothing in the fridge and no chance of going to a Swiss supermarket where it is 15 swiss pounds for 2 chicken breasts! I had luckily picked up a packet of these small gnocchi bites at our …
Chicken with Tomatoes and Capers
I have to share this one for many reasons, firstly and most importantly, it is REALLY tasty. It is also very easy, cheap, low carb and low calorie. You could make this as a pasta dish if you wanted to bulk it up a bit or serve with some garlic bread but I was trying …
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 …
Ribollita Soup
Came across a few recipes for this Tuscan soup recently so made my own take on it – It was beautiful and something I will definately make again soon. Great mid week meal or winter warmer! If you wanted to make a vegetarian version of this just leave out the pancetta, use vegetable stock and …
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 …
Baked Rice with confit Tomatoes and Garlic
Don’t be put off by the title this is a seriously easy and very cheap dish and I am going to use the basis of this to make many more lovely things! This is why I love getting new cook books as they teach me new ways of doing things and give me ideas. Even …
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 …
