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 …
Halloumi and Pesto Pasta
WARNING – This is not a healthy meal!! Are you one of those people who loves halloumi but doesnt really know what to do with it apart from grill it in slices? If so then this is the recipe for you! I am asked by the other half for this tea quite often, it’s one …
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 …
Szechuan Pork and Potatoes
I have had this potato dish before in Red Chilli in Manchester and found it really tasty so when it cropped up in a magazine recently I pulled it straight out and made sure I gave it a go. This is the result. There is no way I am calling it porky potatoes like …

I needed a light lunch today as I am going out for a big fat curry with the girls tonight and there is not much room ‘mushroom’ in my belly at the moment! ( 8 months into cooking a baby). Looked in the fridge and I have lots of mushrooms so decided to make …
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 …
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 …
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 …
