Broccoli Orecchiette
Do you want to know how to make one of the cheapest and simplest tasty pasta dishes ever? Its also pretty low cal too depending on how much cheese you use! I saw this on another site that I follow called “Sip and Feast” there are some lovely recipes on there and not too difficult. …
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 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 …
Amaretti biscuit ice cream.
I live with ice cream fiends so we have a good ice cream maker but don’t use it as much as we should. I spotted this recipe this week and knew that I had to give it a go. I think I will make this again at Christmas and serve with a shot of amaretto as …
Green beans with olives and goats cheese.
I cooked a nice meal for me and the other half this weekend, no babysitters so I brought the restaurant to us! I pulled some pages out of my Olive magazine and tried a few new dishes. This one was actually a dish that is served in Little Duck The Picklery and looked really fresh …
Giant Jaffa Cake!
I had a chocolate orange cake on the blog and I have been thinking for a while if I could somehow make it like a big jaffa cake… I had an experiment this week and it works!! Think this is one of the trickiest inventions I have done especially as cake making can go …
King Prawn Yakisoba
A dish I always order at Wagamama although I think theirs is with chicken. You could add chicken instead of prawn to this though or both if you are feeling generous! This is an easy 15 minute tea and not too bad for you (just don’t use loads of oil) I doubted the sauce in …
