Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
It’s January and I am trying to eat a bit better than I did for half of December, to lose a few pounds obviously but also to help keep me healthy as we need all the goodness we can get right now! This started out as a standard stir fry but actually tasted like something …
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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …
Singapore noodles with cauliflower and King Prawn
A healthy and quick mid week tea. Not technically one of mine but something I will definitely make again with different ingredients! Original recipe was found on BBC food but they use chicken alongside the prawns. You could always do that too or substitute the prawns for chicken if you prefer. For a Veggie version …
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 …
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 …
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 …
