In my office if there was a lunch meeting we used to get an outside caterer to provide it. There would be sandwiches and cakes and if there were some left over, the whole office got access. The coconut and jam slice got me off my chair, but our’s are a million times better than…
Healthy But Very Tasty Lamb Rogan Josh with Perfect Fluffy Ricek
So this Saturday night was curry night for Paulie and I. Paulie made a really lovely and healthy Rogan Josh, he loosly based this on a Madhur Jaffreys recipe but added and took a few things away to make it more to our palate. Garam Marsala being one of the things he added. I love…
Scallop Queenie’s, Black Pudding, Pea’s and Mint
Last night we had some left over black pudding and had bought a frozen bag of Queen Scallops from Waitrose which were much more reasonably priced than hand dived king scallops from the fishmonger. As we have used Queenie’s in our fish pie previously we thought we would try them in the classic dish…
Warming Roasted Carrot, Ginger and Thyme Soup
When we buy a bag carrots for a stew or casserole, we always end up with a few leftover. Paulie also wanted to test a food tip which is freezing ginger (I took a thumb sized piece off and put it back in the freezer), and I had recently bought the most amazing Thyme plant….
Lunch at the Middle House Mayfield Review
Me and Paulie are now creating a shortlist of the best pubs in our area. This week was The Middle House in Mayfield. I had been here on a work Christmas lunch and Paulie has been with his friends, so we decided to try it together. It is funny when we look at a menu,…
Store Cupboard American Style Pastrami Salad
So Paulie is in London today so I have to fend for myself this lunchtime, luckily I have picked up tips from the lunches he makes. This took me 5 minutes to prepare. We had some left over pastrami and salad leaves and the rest is store cupboard ingredients. I would recommend everyone keeps jars…
Rich Beef Stew with Horseradish Dumplings
As we are having such a cold March there is nothing more comforting than a stew. We prefer to use beef as it really adds a meaty, rich depth of flavour and is also lean, so you don’t have to worry about skimming off a layer of fat. I was particularly excited about this stew…
Spauly’s Spiced Potted Crab Recipe
So as you would know from our previous post of Paulie and I’s date day by the seaside we bought a crab. I usually find the recipes but Paulie was inspired by a recipe he found which had chilli and fennel seeds included, a combination we love. So we loosly based our version on this…
Date Day By The Seaside, Fish, Chips, Fudge, 2p Machines and Fishmongers
So yesterday was mine and Paulies date day by the seaside. I love it when it is cold and windy and you are wrapped up warm feeling the wind on your face, blowing away all the cobwebs …. Bliss. As I am originally from a seaside town I never get bored of doing all the…
Baked Gnocchi, Cavolo Nero, Black Pudding and Pancetta with Creamy Sauce
Last nights Thursday dinner was a concotion of what we had in the fridge with some added beautifully fresh Cavolo Nero. I do believe this is an under used veg as unlike spinch which wilts, Cavolo Nero holds its shape and bite but is still tender enough not to be chewy.We are lucky to have…
Best Ever Fish Pie With Rosti and Caper Topping
Paulie took out some smoked cod instead of plain cod which was bonus for me, only one thing for dinner, the best fish pie ever! It had been such a cold day with every type of weather possible, we had snow, sleet, rain, sunshine, it looked like all the seasons in one out of the…
Raspberry and Lemon Baked Cheesecake
We do try to watch our weight and do believe truly you are what you eat, so we only really have a sweet treat once a week unless its a special occasion. Paulie and I have a favourite saying regrding all food really ‘if it isnt worth the calories we are not going to eat…
Slow Braised Melt in the Mouth Spiced Beef Short Ribs
Yes it is another Short Rib recipe, this one however is cooked longer. Paulie cooked this for 4 hours and I can honestly say this recipe is food porn right there! If you really want to wow your fam… Source: Slow Braised Melt in the Mouth Spiced Beef Short Ribs
Herb Crusted Lamb Rump, Brussel Sprouts and Red Wine Gravy

Herb Crusted Lamb Rump, Brussel Sprouts and Red Wine Gravy
So as a child, Lamb was my all time favourite roast. As we were a family of 5 my mum used to roast a shoulder or leg, but now it is only me and Paulie, we have tried and worked our way through different smaller cuts. We tend to have the shoulder or leg…
