Easy Butter Chicken

Happy 2021! It’s been quite the year already, hasn’t it? These photos show why I usually post breakfast recipes at this time of year as the late afternoon light is dreadful for pictures. To be honest, I probably should have held off posting this Easy Butter Chicken until I had better photos, but I have […]

Spiced Tomato and Lentil Soup

I drafted this post and scheduled it to publish last week. And then we got a late burst of Summer. So I held off and the temperatures most obliging plunged over the last couple of days. No better time to post a simple recipe for a warming, filling soup.

Sweetcorn Avocado and Tomato Salad

  I haven’t posted in almost a month which to be honest isn’t all that unusual at this time of year. I had 2 weeks off work and had no intention of turning on a laptop during this time. We didn’t go anywhere but spent really gorgeous days doing walks and playing tourist near home. […]

Beef and Black Bean Enchiladas

Whenever I make food like this I can’t help but think of Billy Connolly’s bit where he is talking about Mexican Food and says it’s all the same, just folded differently! Funny and all as that is, I imagine he is picturing Tex Mex food and hugely offending the people of Mexico.

Tomato and Cheese Tart

I used to be a Come Dine with Me addict. In the early days I could binge watch them all day on a wet Sunday. Back then I saw someone make a simple tart with pastry, a smearing of mustard, sliced tomatoes and gruyere cheese. It was so easy and I loved it when I […]

Sausage and Bean Casserole

I was recently watching an episode of one of Gordon Ramsay’s cooking shows and he made a delicious looking sausage casserole with gratin potatoes. His was made with ingredients similar to my Bangers and Mash. I realised I hadn’t made mine in ages. Of course, I did decide to make it on one of the […]

Aubergine Chickpea and Tomato Curry

People think food bloggers are constantly whipping up exotic meals in 10 minutes for dinner. Not true. Well, not in my case anyway. I’m fairly predictable, particularly midweek when I usually make some sort of a pasta dinner, a chicken salad, something with steak and a curry.

Cajun Chicken Salad with Chipotle Mayo

  I am always looking for new chicken salad recipes. For me, it’s an easy way to get a quick tasty dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Himself gets his meat and I get to fool myself that I am eating healthily!
