  • Thai Fried Chicken Wings

    Thai Fried Chicken Wings

    Very good, arguably better the day after cold or heated. I would be a little more careful with the oil temperature to reduce the colour a little. Also, I’d contemplate…

  • Grilled lamb cutlets with crushed avocado

    Grilled lamb cutlets with crushed avocado

    Yep Yep Yep. These are exceptional, really just perfect. From Nigel Slater – KD III, pg. 243

  • Gnocchi

    Gnocchi

    Really rather good, and making gnocchi is not at all an arse, which was surprising. Much more straight forward than making good pasta. With the foresight to bake some potatoes…

  • Eggs kagiana

    Eggs kagiana

    This is spectacular, honestly just delicious and super quick. I’ll say that, but for future reference please do bear in mind that my version here was, by necessity, quite modified…

  • Tortellini in brodo d'estiva

    Tortellini in brodo d'estiva

    Another 10 minute meal that fails to come in at the 10 minute mark, but it’s fast enough. Lovely and fresh tasting, would certainly benefit from using real stock rather…

  • Cornershop noodles

    Cornershop noodles

    Posts Honestly these are just terrible.  Poor instructions, too many ingredients that take far more than 10 minutes to prepare, with flavours that clash and compete for supremacy.  Good Chinese…
