This time of year requires a big fat hug from comfort food. I try to keep our carbs down by using pulses instead and beans lentils, and chickpea’s are a brilliant way of doing it. I can’t believe monkfish use to be a poor man’s cod as it is so sweet, meaty and delicious. I…

Warming Roasted Squash and Chorizo Soup Recipe
I love soup and I think squash works so well as when it is roasted it releases a lovely sweet flavour. Chorizo is another fridge staple in our house and when mixed in this soup you get a smoky slightly spicy depth of flavour. There isn’t much not to like about this if you enjoy…
Whole Wheat, Banana, Maple Syrup and Chocolate Muffins Recipe
So the weather is miserable outside and Paulie has been to the hospital for his procedure. As he has been nil by mouth for 24 hours I wanted to make something nice that he can have with a cup of tea when he gets back. I need to stay on the high fibre theme as…
Creamy Chicken, Pancetta, Mushroom’s and Peas’s with Fresh Sage Pasta Recipe
This dish is so comforting. There is something about creamy chicken, mushrooms and pea’s combined with pasta that is so comforting. As Paulie has his op tomorrow and is nil by mouth tonight last night we had an indulgent treat, this yummy dinner. The sage pasta adds a really yummy note and I love how…
Homemade Fresh Sage Pasta Recipe
I saw a programme a few years a go which showed you how to flavour pasta. One of the recipe’s was for window pane pasta. You basically make you pasta as normal then once you have rolled out the strips you place herbs on them cover with more pasta and then put it through the…
Marinated Roast Pork Fillet with Soy, Ginger, Honey and Lime Sauce Recipe
Asian cooking is so good for a mid-week dinner as it is quick to prepare and really tasty to eat, making it a very satisfying dinner. For this recipe I combined a couple I found taking my favourite bits from each one and combining them in one dish. It worked perfectly, this is sweet, salty…
Easy White Bloomer Bread Recipe
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…
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…
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…
