Quick Green Curry

November 11, 2020

Viewers, please do not adjust your sets. Not only is this a post from me, it’s also vegan. Both of these things may come as a shock. I was asked to create a recipe for Vegan Month last year, and as November has amazingly come around again I thought I’d share it here because it’s […]

Bruschetta

July 1, 2015

Things{we}make Bruschettas: One that's Garden Fresh, one that's Earthy and one that's Pizza Express Stylie.

Chick Pea and Potato Curry

April 16, 2015

This is a standby meal for us when it looks like the cupboards are bare but for a couple of handfuls of new potatoes rolling about in the salad drawer and some fresh herbs. We had this last week on our return from a sunny day at The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, hence the quick tray photo […]

Beetroot Tart

How a row of forgotten beetroot became dinner.

Chipotle and Black Bean Tostadas

If you can't buy them: make them.

Corn Fritters with Chilli

October 18, 2013

Spicy little fritters made with freshly cut corn and chilli.

Courgette Chips and Mayonnaise

August 26, 2013

Damn it. I have just realised that these are accidentally kind of healthy, so dip in plenty of mayonnaise.

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.

Cheese – I made cheese!

April 30, 2013

Ever fancied making cheese? I did...and here it is. More to follow soon, I'm sure.

Onion Bhajis

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

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.

Courgette and Chorizo Tarts

September 30, 2012

Tasty little individual tarts made with a thyme and parmesan pastry then filled with courgette and chorizo.

Stripy Beets and Feta

August 17, 2012

I love beetroot. Back in the 70's when on holiday I used to fill my plate with purple vinegary slices because it was something I recognised. These candy striped Choggia roots take my beety love to a whole new level.

Chicken Satay Noodle Salad

July 22, 2012

Don't you think it's so much easier to eat salads when the sun finally comes out? This isn’t just ANY salad though, it’s a ‘Claire and Ed’s Spicy Satay Noodle Salad’

All Day Pork

May 31, 2012

Some things are worth getting up early for. The first one is a cup of tea and the second is the promise of a pulled pork pitta. This pork is dry rubbed with coffee and cooked all day. You're welcome.

Winter Soufflé Omelette

February 22, 2012

It was a dreary wet morning in Derbyshire, so I set about the housework. The rainy skies and domestic chores left me feeling that I needed a tasty lunch to perk me up. I scoured the kitchen and garden for inspiration: Witch hazel and snowdrops offered the only glimpse of colour in the garden. The […]

The Pheasant and The Potato

February 17, 2012

One of our generous neighbours offered us a pheasant, and having never cooked a pheasant before I jumped at the chance. Although he was a beautiful thing, carrying him back home felt a little odd. His soft feathers and firm weightiness made it feel like I was carrying a pet, rather than something for dinner. […]
