I’ve never stuffed a pepper in my life so I figure if I’m going to do it I ought to make six at once. I think I’m a convert. After all, it only takes a quick lop off of the tops and a scooping out of the seeds and you’ve an instant casing for [Read on…] 
I’ve categorised this post as “eating in” but arguably it should be “eating out”! Take one box of store cupboard items that are versatile enough to be used a few ways each; mustard, mayonnaise, cocoa, peanut butter, honey, marmite, ketchup. Between all of these you have various choices what to put on bread or [Read on…] 
I paired these two ingredients last week in my cichette Venetian style appetisers. Since I had a fair bit of each ingredient left they resurfaced in last night’s supper, a speedy tray of ciabatta mini pizzas. Ciabatta keeps for a good week unopened in the fridge. I often buy a loaf if [Read on…] 
I foxed my husband on Saturday. He said “what’s for lunch” and I replied in an enthusiastic faux Spanish accent, huevos rancheros. My husband doesn’t speak Spanish, nor for that matter do I.

Lemon yogurt is one of my favourite flavours because it’s flexible to use in non-sweet dishes as well as more obviously dessert or breakfast. I have marinated chicken in lemon yogurt to great effect and during the current heat wave we have enjoyed a cooling salad dressing made from Muller Light Greek Style lemon [Read on…] 
This is the potato salad I made using the dill and rapeseed mayonnaise in my last post. I was wondering how to use this can of hearts of palm shown below and read on the side that it went well with smoked fish. I tend to keep a wallet of smoked salmon in [Read on…] 
Take one peach that’s been sat in the fridge so long you’re sick of the sight of it (even though there’s nothing actually wrong with it) one narrow strip of left over puff pastry (from Charlotte’s courgette tart) and half a dozen raspberries out of the garden. Cut the puff pastry into circles with [Read on…] |
