Comfort Food 101

July 21, 2013

We all have different definitions of comfort food, but for me this is it.

Steak and Chips

June 10, 2013

This meal was an early anniversary treat. Tomorrow Ed and I will have been married for 14 years. Worth celebrating with steak and strawberries don't you think?

Just Salad

June 2, 2013

Make sure your salad is good enough to stand on it's own merits. Sometimes it's all about the sides.

Funnel Cakes

May 25, 2013

We never made it to the funnel cake stand, so we made our own.

Onion Bhajis

April 22, 2013

Next time I'm making these homemade onion bhajis, I'll invite you all round so we can share out the calories.

Sausage Casserole

April 7, 2013

I'm sure that you all already know how to make a sausage casserole...maybe some of you buy a sausage casserole mix from the supermarket. Who am I to judge?

Gypsy Gammon

March 21, 2013

You don't need to cook this over a fire at the side of the road; but don't let me stop you.

Corn Tortillas

March 15, 2013

Preparing corn tortillas is a family affair, George is particularly good at shaping and pressing them, whilst I do the griddling. Ed is usually on chopping and beer opening detail.

Caramel Apple Tarts

March 11, 2013

These were destined to be apple and ginger, but they became caramel apple tarts and I can't see anyone complaining.

Hot Soft Pretzels

February 16, 2013

Hot, soft, buttery, cinnamon sugar-coated pretzels - twisted and dipped by George.

Pancakes? We got ’em.

February 11, 2013

A collection of our favourite pancake recipes.

Oat & Almond Crumble Cookies

January 30, 2013

I usually just make half a batch of these oat and almond biscuits. A full plateful would be too tempting, but don't let me stop you.

Laab Moo – Pork Salad

January 25, 2013

If you like Thai flavours this is one for you. Hot, sour, salty, sweet pork salad in crispy lettuce leaves.

Every Flavour Puddings

January 5, 2013

No bogey flavour ones (these are not Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans): These are my Every Flavour Puddings.

Christmas Red Cabbage

December 22, 2012

A Christmas side dish that you can prepare in advance and will keep your hob free for gravy making.

Black Rice Salad

December 17, 2012

One last reasonably healthy recipe from me before the gluttony of Christmas descends. Ed created this black rice salad one lunch time which is greater than the sum of its parts.
