Hello friend. (Admittedly late to the party and now watching Mr Robot having seen Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody). It’s been a while! Today I have a variation on an old favourite recipe – chunky corn fritters made using kernels sliced from the cob, given a garlic and chilli kick, topped with avo, more chilli […]
each makes 6 Goood morning! It feels like its been a while…today I have some delicious wee tarts for you that are ideally made to share with friends on a sunny Sunday afternoon with a glass or two of wine and a bitter green salad, but they also make a bloody fabulous picnic treat or […]
serves 6 Well by crikey prepare yourselves, I have a veritable extravaganza of recipes for you today! I had some of my dearest friends staying with me for the last four days, in between moving house, so I thought I would take the opportunity of having house guests to round up some of my other […]
serves 6 As you know I have been flat out lately, zooming around like a headless chook working on my magazine contract work as well as flying down to Welly for Hoob’s 21st and, (in case you hadn’t heard) getting stuck into (pun intended) my next book! In between I, like you no doubt, have […]
… & quick chicken & egg salad
Happy Sunday evening – I thought if I didn’t get on with posting about my recent trip with the men/boys it would end up being ancient history…so here we go, the adventure continues! (As with last time if you’re not into the travel gig, just nip over to the recipe page and go wild). We […]
…it’s baaaaaaack!
serves 6 Goooood morning – as I sit here frustratedly posting by hot-spotting off my phone as my bloody wifi keeps cutting out – grrrrrrr – madness! However, I won’t let that deter me from sharing this delicious little humble crumble, prettily pink-stained from tart rhubarb and sweet strawberries with the addition of apple for […]
serves 2 OK let’s pretend the weather is getting better and try out a springy recipe for the week! This is a quick fish curry with soba noodles (but udon, rice or even egg noodles would work), in an aromatic coconut broth, flavoured with distinctive fragrant lemon grass and a hit of fiery chilli – […]
Hello not from glorious, sunny Croatia, but instead from my slightly cold and uncharacteristically messy kitchen. Here I sit whisky in hand (probably shouldn’t…went out for drinks twice last night…long story), Tom Misch playing on my laptop (try the album ‘Geography’ with thanks to Hoob for the stellar recommendation) and I have decided it is […]
serves 4-6 Gooooood morning, and I hope you’re having a lovely weekend! I was thinking this could potentially be your perfect snuggy, Sunday night dinner – a smoked fish pie/kedgeree combo that is warming and comforting, with a wee spicy kick tempered by soft mashed spuds and a crunchy, crumbly topping. It is basically just […]
Remember the last post I did when I was talking about serendipity, well I don’t know what’s up, but I have been experiencing it again all over the show (anyone else or is it just me?!). I popped into Smith & Caughey’s last week to work out what I would be featuring next – and given […]
makes 6 Do you believe in serendipity? Lately I have had a weirdly large amount of serendipitous things happen in my life, in terms of coincidences and crazy timing that have pretty much blown me away…nothing overly dramatic or major, just lots of small good things happening in synch. Any waaaay this is a bloody […]
