Cannelloni with chicken and mushroom sauce 6 Aug 2013 | 12:46 am
I made cannelloni for the first time last night- I'm not a huge fan of baked pasta, but it was nice. I fried and then pureed a shallot and some mushrooms to make the stuffing, with creme fraiche, crea...
Spinach and mushroom filo pie 18 Jul 2013 | 06:42 am
This turned out surprisingly well, although I found it took more like 40 minutes - or even more- to properly brown in the oven - than the 20-30 in the recipe. A great one for when veggies come to dinn...
Oven baked chicken with peppers and courgettes 13 Jun 2013 | 07:57 pm
I happened to have chicken breasts, courgettes and peppers in the fridge the other day and so I googled those ingredients, and used this recipe. (minus the tomato, given my prejudices). It was very go...
Project: a perfect Dauphinoise 21 Oct 2012 | 12:36 am
I love potato gratin, and the first time that I had it was with friend's of John's family in France. Marie Claire gave me the recipe, and I've used it with varying degrees of success over the years. H...
Pork chops with thyme and lemon 2 Aug 2012 | 10:19 pm
This was a Jamie Oliver recipe, adapted - nothing very fancy, but quite nice. Pork chops marinated for ten minutes or more with one clove of garlic, zest and juice of a lemon, olive oil, salt and pepp...
Roasted pork tenderloin and potato wedges 16 Jul 2012 | 05:18 pm
John really liked this and it is very easy, quick (relative to a proper roast dinner) and tasty - would be good for a small dinner party. First, the wedges, which I will definitely be doing again. I ...
Prawn and monkfish curry 29 Jun 2012 | 04:16 am
This wasn't really very special, but I'm just writing it down to keep a note of something that was very simple, quick and tasty. I bought monkfish at the fish van, and a handful of cooked prawns. I sa...
Chicken and chorizo 20 Jun 2012 | 03:26 pm
I often keep free range chicken breasts in the fridge without knowing what I'm going to do with them, as they're such a versatile thing - makes me feel a bit guilty, though, as I'm not sure what happe...
Salads 20 Jun 2012 | 03:26 pm
I'm not very adventurous about salads, as I don't like either of those salad staples- tomatoes and cucumbers, and sometimes I think that salads which are just cooked things gone cold are a bit, well, ...
Sneaky vegetables 18 Jun 2012 | 06:14 pm
Our toddler is a good little eater, putting away impressive amounts of fruit, meat and pasta, but she is not so good on vegetables - she has never been a fan of green vegetables, and she also now refu...
