Courgette Risotto with Pancetta

Risotto is one of my favourite foods to make. I think of it as an indulgent treat to stand mindlessly stirring dinner to switch off from the day and the result is a creamy delicious treat. It is so versatile and can take any flavours. For this recipe I’m using courgettes, which are still very much […]

Spaghetti Carbonara

Apologies in advance to any Italians who stumble across my blog, this is not a traditional carbonara. I’ve been making different versions of Spaghetti Carbonara for over 20 years. When I first met himself, it was his favourite dinner. Being keen to impress I used to make it fairly regularly. But that version of carbonara […]

Steak Burrito Bowl with Chipotle Dressing

I adore Mexican food with it’s bright colours and flavours. It is not too spicy and suits most palates which makes it a real crowd pleaser. In fact, it is my favourite food the morning after an indulgent night. A plate of Huevos Rancheros and I am good as new again. Well, a bit better […]

Easy Butter Chicken

Easy Chicken Satay Curry

  I make a curry at least once a week and try to mix it up as much as I can. I already have a recipe up for Beef Satay Skewers and I do love it. The beef becomes tender in the marinade and chars beautifully on the skewer. However, sometimes you just want to keep it […]

Sticky Malaysian Chicken Wings

Apologies for the radio silence. Between snow and storms and well, just life in general, I took a little break from my blog. And it was nice. So I’m back now to share this recipe for delicious Sticky Malaysian Chicken Wings.

Chocolate Tiramisu

  Or to give it it’s full title, Chocolate Baileys and Rum Tiramisu. I’m fairly sure Italian food purists are aghast at this tinkering with such a recipe, but Tiramisu is a relatively recent invention so I might get away with it. However, strange as it seems coming from someone who doesn’t function before their […]

Mac and Cheese

With bacon. I probably should have stressed this in the title but anywho, this is Mac and Cheese with bacon. Some versions of this dish are quite dry but mine is probably more Mac with Cheese Sauce. I know some people like to keep their Mac and Cheese as plain as possible, I’m not one […]
