I’ve used leftover salmon and tinned […]

Time-Saving Tuesdays – Homemade Microwaveable Tomato Risotto

I’ve gone in a different direction today for my Time-Saving Tuesday’s post.

[…]

Courgette, Saffron and Two Cheese Tart

This is a variation on “Graham’s Caramelised Red Onion and Goats Cheese Tart” I posted back in August 2014. This tart was using up ingredients that I needed to use up, and it was a good use of them too. Give this a go, it’s quick and easy and one I know you’ll love – […]

Spiced Butternut Squash Soup

It’s soup time, I haven’t made a soup for a while so I thought I’d share this one with you. It’s as easy as breathing, oh wait… I don’t find that easy… scratch that (for me) it’s easier than breathing lol. I’ve messed about with Butternut Squash several times before, I’ve had it and not […]

Heirloom Tomato Salad, Salsa Verde and Balsamic and Honey dressing

This is a three for the price of one recipe because it’s a fantastic Heirloom Tomato salad, my take on a wonderful Salsa Verde and a Balsamic and Honey dressing which went well with the whole dish. Essentially this dish is simply a tomato salad, but with a difference! Greg and I called in to […]

Pheasant in a Porcini Mushroom and White Wine Sauce with Aromat flavoured Couscous

Cajun Salmon on a Mediterranean Sauce

So on my low carb diet I’ve started eating lots more fish, you know I have always eaten fish but I’m finding it easier cooking creatively with fish than I am with meat… why, who knows 😆 You’ll notice the ingredients are basic, I’ve got tinned tomatoes, garlic, olives, capers, ginger and tomato purée to […]

Strictly Suppers #3 – Salsa Sesame Tuna

This is a weak one for the Strictly Suppers theme as the salsa was the accompaniment but it’s all I’ve got this week. I’ve always wanted to try sesame crusted tuna but never got round to it, so I could think of no better an opportunity than to try it out for my blog. I […]

Saira Hamilton’s Chicken Bhuna

Sticky Aubergine with Soy Dressing, Red Pepper, Onion and Sweet Potato Wedges

My mother wasn’t a fan of aubergines but had the hair brained idea of buying one to see if her opinions would change.

Alice’s Mid Week Piri Piri BBQ Chicken and Patatas Bravas

My sister bought me some Nando’s Piri Piri BBQ Sauce recently and I had some Patatas Bravas Sauce I’d bought from Tesco which needed to be used, so Alice (my niece and fellow foodie) and I thought we’d combine the two to make “Alice’s Piri Piri BBQ Chicken and Patatas Bravas”. As you probably noticed […]

Pig Sty Pie

I came up with the idea of this pie because I was thinking one day we’ve got Shepherd’s Pie for lamb and cottage pie for beef but nothing for pork…. so here it is. You can add or remove most of the ingredients (apart from the Pork Mince naturally)! If this dish had a theme […]

Soy, Chilli and Ginger Trout With A Summer Ragu

I’m a big fan of fish… as you’d probably noticed, I came up with this recipe because I had some left over Trout fillets, this is a great dish, really enjoyable and it gave me the opportunity to use a lot of left over vegetables. Remember to check for bones when you are using fish, […]

Leftover Chicken Tikka Masala

Along with my minced beef based dishes (probably my cottage/shepherd’s pie) this is my signature dish. I love Chicken Tikka Masala, it’s one of my most ordered take away dish. It’s not too hot but still has a little warmth that makes you feel good. There are many different stories behind the origin of this […]

“Quick and Easy Mid Week Pan Fried Salmon and Creamy Spelt”

As I’ve said in earlier posts my sister (Heather) is often the source for my inspiration when it comes to creating dishes.
