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 …
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 …
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 …
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 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 …
Chinese Style Beef with Green Peppers and Pepper and Honey sauce.
I am back! Don’t get much time for blogging and cooking over the summer as I try not to spend too much time at home at the weekends but now its getting dark and cold my kitchen is beckoning! I went for a Chinese meal at weekend ( Phoenix City – Stalybridge) and it was …
Wagyu Mac
It’s that time again – Aldi bring back the wagyu burgers and people start buying in bulk so that they are all gone within a day! I had to stop myself at 4 packets as it looked a bit greedy! The first time I tried and even heard of Wagyu beef was in Japan at …
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 …
