Mushrooms on Toast

Two blog posts in one week – you lucky things! It’s more beige food but trust me beige can be utterly delicious. And yes, I really am posting a recipe for Mushrooms on Toast.

Chicken with Creamy Sundried Tomato Sauce

After my recent dalliance with healthy eating, I’m back with a heavy cream sauce. I know sundried tomatoes are considered a bit retro, and not in a cool way, but I recently picked up a packet at a bargain price and was planning to throw them into a salad. Then I remembered this dish that […]

Chicken Chasseur
