This is one of Rob’s all-time favourites. It’s always a joy to watch his eyes light up when we’re on the way home from work and he asks “what’s for tea?” and I get to say “Seafood Risotto”. I usually make it with Sainsbury’s Seafood Collection which is a mixture of cooked mussels, king prawns [...]

Gratineed Gnocchi with Spinach and Ricotta
Posted in Main Courses, Recipes, Vegetarian, tagged cheese, food, gnocchi, main course, recipe, spinach on October 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I made this yummy recipe from Gourmet magazine the other night with a pack of store-bought gnocchi in my cupboard. I had been struggling to come up with what to do with them and was drawn to this recipe because it wasn’t gorgonzola or tomato based as most gnocchi recipes seem to be. I followed [...]

Delicious Big Bowl – Quinoa I’m moving out of my flat in a few weeks and I’ve been trying to use up some of my many opened bags of grains in the cupboard. I have paella rice, risotto rice, wild rice, basmati rice, long grain brown rice, buckwheat groats, quinoa, millet and bulghur. I made [...]
Pork Stroganoff
Posted in Main Courses, Meat, Recipes, tagged food, main course, pork, recipe on September 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Tim made this Pork Stroganoff recipe for me last week from the BBC Food website. We didn’t have any blue potatoes, so he used some white ones in the pantry. He also added some sliced runner beans which went very nicely. I find that pork can often be quite dry when cooked, but I liked [...]
Mustard-crusted Tofu with Kale and Sweet Potato

Mustard-Crusted Tofu with Kale and Sweet Potato I came across this Bon Appetit recipe in my weekly Epicurious Recipe Flash a few weeks ago. I’m always looking for new tofu recipes and I had some wholegrain mustard in the fridge that I needed to use up so I thought I’d give it a try. I [...]
Thai-style Beef with Spinach
Posted in Low Calorie, Low Carb, Main Courses, Meat, Recipes, Salads, tagged beef, chili, food, Low Calorie, Low Carb, main course, recipe, spinach on September 8, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This is another great recipe from delicious magazine (July 2007). I have made it four times and it is always a crowd pleaser. Usually I stick to the recipe below, but when I was staying at my dad’s we didn’t have Thai fish sauce, baby spinach or a red chilli that was big enough. For [...]
Broccoli, Sultana and Chilli Penne with Parmesan Crumbs
Posted in Low Fat, Low Salt, Main Courses, Pasta, Recipes, Vegetarian, tagged broccoli, food, Low Fat, Low Salt, Pasta, recipe, Vegetarian on August 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I found this recipe in the August 2007 issue of delicious magazine. Always in search of my creative and healthy ways to eat pasta, I was intrigued by this low-fat and low-salt recipe. Like a few other recipes I’ve seen recently, it uses chilli and lemon to add fat-free flavour. I went for the meaty [...]
Chicken Farmer’s Chicken
Posted in Chicken, Main Courses, Recipes, tagged Chicken, food, main course, recipe on August 17, 2007 | 1 Comment »
When I was growing up we raised free-range organic chickens, which meant we usually had a good supply of chicken in the freezer. These days you can buy free-range organic chickens and chicken pieces in supermarkets but it’s still not the same as chicken you’ve raised yourself. From my mom’s cookbook, this is one of [...]
Pan-fried Chicken in a Grana Padano Crust
Posted in Chicken, Main Courses, Recipes, tagged Chicken, food, grana padano, main course, recipe on August 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This recipe is from a supplement to my September delicious magazine called Modern Italian. A few of us were curious as to how Grana Padano was different from Parmesan, so my friend Denis made this for us tonight. We decided that although they seem to be quite similar, Grana Padano is milder and sweeter than [...]
Fast-Fry, Hot and Sticky Sweet Meat
Posted in Main Courses, Meat on July 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This is one my favourite things to make from my mom’s cookbook. I often put in more garlic and add grated fresh ginger. Fast-Fry, Hot and Sticky Sweet Meat Serves 4. Ready in 15 minutes. Have everything measured and ready because this is fast. Up to 1 lb raw or cooked meat or chicken 2 [...]
