This was my first bloomer attempt and it worked really well. Paulie has to have an op this week and isn’t allowed to eat any fiber so I needed to make a white loaf. This is from Paul Hollywood’s Bread book, it tastes delicious and I was suprised how easy it was. If your new…
Ultimate Whole Wheat Lasagna Recipe
I love ragu and particularly love it being used in a lasagna. This is such a comforting dish and we tend to have t for dinner for 2 nights running as it so nice. I also find making my own pasta really satisfying and it isn’t hard to make either, it tastes so much better…
Halloumi Salad with Walnut Pesto Soya Beans and Tomatoes Recipe
Even though pesto salad is usually associated with summer I think it can be comforting in the winter too as it has big bold flavour’s. I prefer using walnuts as sometimes pine nuts give a metallic taste in your mouth and you have to toast them first, walnuts can be just chucked in the food…
Pork Fillet and Endives in a Sweet Creamy Sauce Recipe
This was so tasty and the first time I have ever tried Endives. They taste really good and the slight bitterness goes really well with the sweet creamy sauce and meat. The pork fillet just melted in my mouth. I would definitely have this for dinner again. Ingredients (serves 2) 1/2 whole pork tenderloin seasoning…
Paulie’s Delicious Cheese on Toast Recipe
Who doesn’t like cheese on toast? This is a lunch that I leave to Paulie as he makes it perfectly. 2 simple additions take’s it from good to amazing. It is like a simple version of welsh rarebit without having to make the white sauce. I love mine dipped in brown sauce. Ingredients 4 slices…
Comforting Chicken, Tarragon and Sweet Shallot Casserole Recipe
One good thing about this time of year are one pots. I love a casserole, they usually include lots of vegetables which all add their own flavour and texture. This recipe was loosely based on chicken chasseur but we used cider instead of wine. I love the french style of cooking it usually involves…
3 Ingredient Coconut and Dark Chocolate Bars Recipe
So I wanted to attempt to make homemade dark chocolate bounty bars. I couldn’t actually call mine bounty as they only resemble them, lol, however they actually taste better. This recipe is so easy you just need a bit of time to allow for setting and be prepared to get chocolate covered hands! I licked my…
Lightly Spiced Coconut, Squash and Tumeric Soup with Crisy Sage Leaves Recipe
I’m trying to incorporate turmeric in our diet and this soup was perfect. I really enjoy soups particularly on these cold days and you can make a big batch and freeze the rest down and cook form frozen which is really handy. I only lightly spiced the soup as I wanted to make sure we…
Saucy Bacon and Cheese Whole Wheat Pancakes Recipe
These were so good. As we live reasonably close to Dover we used to go over to Calais for the day to stock up on cheese’s, hams, pastries and of course wine. The other things we used to buy were ready made croque monsieur’s, coquille st jacques and savoury pancakes. As it isn’t cost effective…
Garlic and Thyme Wild Mushrooms on Sourdough Toast Recipe
So it is that time of year when wild mushrooms are available. This brunch was delicious I always think you should keep wild mushroom recipes really simple because of their delicate flavours. I was so surprised how each type of mushroom had its own unique flavour and texture, I think that is why this was…
Marinated Steak on a Soya Bean and Rice Noodle Salad with Mirin and Pomegranate Dressing Recipe
This was so tasty. I marinated the beef overnight and when I was slicing it I pinched a bit (chef’s perk) and could taste the delicious flavour’s in the meat, it was tangy, sweet, juicy and beefy. Sometimes it is nice to do different recipes with steak, though I must say steak and chips is…
Panko Crab Cakes, Rocket Salad and an Anchovy and Caper Dressing Recipe
This is a great store cupboard lunch or light dinner. I have been wanting to make an anchovy dressing for ages, the salad tasted like a lighter more flavoursome Caesar salad. Tinned crab is a really easy and cost effective way of having crab cakes I think it is probably cheaper than tuna now. I…
Red Wine and Chorizo Risotto Recipe
A risotto is our fast food as it can be so flexible with its ingredients and cooked in 30 minutes. We add frozen veg to ours and we always have chorizo and leek in the fridge. While going through our cookbooks we came across a red wine risotto in Angela Hartnett’s book and thought we…
Sweet and Sour Udon Stir Fry with Prawns, Tofu and Leeks Recipe
So at the moment we are going through our many cookbooks and marking recipes we want to make so we can put them on my blog and get rid of the book. Any books that have a lot of recipes we keep but any that only have a few, we are working our way through….
Hearty Pork Chops, Lentil Ragout and Cider and Mustard Sauce Recipe
I always think a pork chop makes a great mid-week dinner. As pork is quite a sweet meat it really does go well with earthy lentils and vegetables. This is perfect for this time of year a juicy pork chop nicely browned with pancetta, earthy lentils and vegetables all brought together with a comforting creamy…
