I adore preserved lemons and Paulie adds them to many things such as tagine’s, salads, couscous and many more. They are salty and sour but add so much flavour. The reason I wanted to have a go was because a) I love them and b) they are so expensive in our supermarket they are about…
Easy Peasy Dukkah Dip Recipe for Bread and Oil
If you want to add a yummy kick to bread, oil and vinegar, this recipe is the one for you. I believe it is originally of Egyptian origin but I first tried dukkah when Paulie brought some back from his visit to Australia. I love spice and mixing up my dipping, sometimes I dip the…

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
If you like peanut butter or Reese’s then you will love this recipe and you don’t need many ingredients just a bit of time and patience. Unlike the well known Reese’s these are less sweet, a higher quality of chocolate and have no preservatives. They remind me of when I was a kid and I…

Nostalgic Danish Shortbread Recipe
As Paulie knows I am writing a food blog so he dug out some of his late mother Jan’s recipe cards. With Easter coming up we chose something sweet so I thought I would have a go at this recipe, Danish Shortbread. Because of my age I haven’t come across these measurements as this recipe…
Leftover Chicken, Avocado, Rocket and Sundried Tomato Salad
So we still had some leftover chicken that I didn’t want to waste. We always buy avocado but it takes a couple of days for it to be the right texture for me and this one was left from a twin pack. In 5 minutes I constructed this salad of left over chicken, handful of…
Left Over Roast Chicken, Leek, Pancetta and Mushroom Pie Recipe
Got leftover’s from your Sunday Roast? Then make the easiest and tastiest Chicken pie. Paulie and I treat ourselves to a bird in a bird at Christmas and as there is only the 2 of us we always have leftover’s. It’s the same with a roast chicken, so on this occasion we used christmas leftover’s…

I love Paulie making Chinese at home as it is so quick, once you have done all the chopping, and it is packed full of flavour. Our 2 favourite sauces are Black bean and Oyster Sauce, you can mix these with more of less any proteins or vegetables. On this occasion we had a cheap…
Howlets with Paulie and a Flask of Soup
Last year we had loads of Tesco supermarket vouchers and we weren’t sure what to do with them. I love animals and hadn’t been to Howlet’s Zoo before so we ordered some tickets. We have had the tickets for month’s as we knew we didn’t want to go in the summer or when the kid’s…
Carrot, Cumin and Butternut Squash Soup Recipe
Me and Paulie had a day out planned at Howlets zoo and I always think the food in the canteens isn’t particulary nice. So what could be more comforting than a mug of soup! As we wandered around the lions, monkeys and elephants we had a pit stop at a picnic bench and warmed ourselves…
Easiest Ever Risotto – We used Chorizo, Mushroom and Leek
If me and Paulie are stuck for something for dinner or if one of us is feeling unwell, our go to dish is a risotto. You can more or less add anything you have lying around in the fridge. So if you have an onion but not a leek, or bacon and no chorizo just…
Lightly Spiced Veal Cottage Pie
Growing up I had 2 favourite dinners, roast and cottage pie. My sister and I had to take it in turns with mince as she liked lasagne and I like cottage pie. I must say as you get older your palate changes and I tend to like stronger flavour’s so Paulie has mastered the spicing…
Stunning Roast Turbot, Lemon and Fennel with a Tarragon Sauce
What a terrific treat the king of the flatfish, the almighty turbot. This is like lobster a special treat as you pay for the whole fish but a lot of bone is discarded. That’s why I found simple dish Paulie could make so we could really enjoy the true flavour of the meat. Aniseed is…
