Gin & Tonic Ice Cream

June 12, 2021

Easy Gin & Tonic Ice Cream This is not a proper fancy recipe involving ice cream makers, eggs or lots of stirring and re-freezing: It’s 5 ingredients, a quick whisk, a few hours freezing and you’re done. I use a Seville orange flavoured gin and the pretty aromatic Fever Tree tonic but you can use […]

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 […]

Peach and Blueberry Hand Pies

January 28, 2019

'Hand Pies' because you can eat them with your hands. They could also could be named down-in-one pies.

Chocolate Orange Pudding

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 […]

Make it Flaky

May 8, 2012

I am not sharing this because it’s healthy. I am not sharing this because it’s pretty. It’s not even a clever or complicated dish. In fact…you could say that it’s just a big sausage roll. Point taken. I wanted to show you a quick flaky pastry recipe that I think is easier to make than […]

Lime Syrup Drizzle Cakes

June 18, 2011

I am still learning the importance of a sense of order. I don’t mean having everything in its place, although that really helps. It’s about making sure that I do things in the right sequence. Every time I cook something I work out a better way…or rather I realise I have done something ‘arse about […]

Saturday Staples – Crispy Chicken

November 27, 2010

Crispy Chicken get’s eaten in our house more regularly than anything else because it is a child friendly quick tea. I would feel bad about that if I bought it from the supermarket ready done. I don’t feel so guilty about this homemade version though because it’s low-fat and I can choose the quality of […]

A fab chutney to use up all those green tomatoes.

Super Quick Oatmeal Bread

January 13, 2010

Thanks to Helen from a forkful of spaghetti who added this to her blog yesterday after a few of us asked for the recipe that she mentioned on Twitter. It’s a quick bread, with no yeast, no kneading and takes only 1 hour. Heaven! Go to a forkful of spaghetti for the full details. Here it […]
