Mushroom, Brocolli and Cashew Nut Stir Fry 53 1
Kerri was out this evening and on the way home I wondered how to use up the few pieces of purple sprouting brocolli that we had left over. Somehow in these situations I often end up craving a Thai or Chinese style stir fry and that’s[...]

Morrocan Roast Chicken 53 1
While I was planning meals for the weekend, I decided that I wanted to roast a chicken with Morrocan flavourings, in a similar way to this leg of lamb . I bought a bulb of fennel, some olives and some preserved lemons and set about putting[...]

Tea and Cake 53 1
Having talked earlier about how we rarely accept items to sample, I’m going to talk about another item I happily said yes to now. This time it was tea and the new range from PG Tips. I love tea and I drink loads of it. I like it[...]

Bacon 53 1
I got an email a couple of weeks ago asking if I was interested in trying some bacon. We get a lot of emails asking us to try things and we mostly say no, mostly the products aren’t that interesting, I don’t like writing reviews[...]

Purple Sprouting Brocolli Pizza 53 1
Pizza is a Friday night staple in our house. It’s fun food, the varieties are endless and it’s also quick and easy which is perfect for a relaxing night at home following a busy week. I was out on Friday night though and since[...]

Spaghetti alla Vodka (with bacon) 53 1

Mexican Breakfast 53 1
Having over-catered somewhat on Saturday night, we ended up eating leftovers on both Sunday and Monday. While I’m not a fan of eggs, Stephen loves them so it was with great delight that he topped his leftovers with a fried egg on Monday[...]

Mexican Style Whole Chicken 53 1
We had some friends over for dinner on Saturday night and, after exploring pretty much every cuisine we could think of, we settled on Mexican food. The reason it took us so long to decide is that we wanted to cook Maddhur Jaffrey’s[...]

Pot Roasted Chicken with Mustard 53 1
Oh dear, another unintentional break in posting due to busy schedules and pre-summer diets. We have of course been eating but none of it has been that interesting unfortunately. There just hasn’t been the time to think about food or[...]

Cheese Scones with Bacon Jam 53 1
Yep, BACON jam. Jam, made of BACON. It’s jam but it’s got BACON in it. How great does that sound? I’ve had variations of this recipe saved for ages since it was doing the rounds of the American food blogs a couple of[...]
