  • 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…

  • Sunday Soup

    By its nature, not a beautiful soup, one of the reasons I’ve left an image out.  But it is an extremely simple, wholesome and tasty vegetable soup that I wouldn’t…

  • Orange Panna Cotta

    Orange Panna Cotta

    Perfect panna cotta. Texture is smooth and dense but wobbly, taste is just caressed with orange, but still predominantly creamy. Just delightful. The most important thing to learn from this…

  • Greek Kofte with Tahini Dip

    Greek Kofte with Tahini Dip

    A good, meaty veggie dish with powerful flavours. Needs a sharp element to contrast the flavour and texture, such as the pickled beetroot here, not in the recipe but works…

  • Lamb and Sweet Potato Tagine

    Lamb and Sweet Potato Tagine

    Substituting sausage meat for lamb mince and sweet potato for squash, as the original recipe asks for. However I’d do this every time, I think. Although there is room for…

  • Casserole-Roast Chicken, Shallots, Garlic & Marjoram

    Real tasty.  The sweet, whole roasted garlic, squeezed out from their papery shells onto potatoes and chicken is a delight.  The sauce formed naturally in the casserole savoury and effortless.…
