I don’t know why these things are called cakes. A cake conjures up images of buttery sponges and wobbling icing, not a palm sized slab of fried potato. Although I’d take a fried potato over a cake any day, but that’s just me. If I believed in God, I would believe he is infinite in … Continue reading HERBED FETA POTATO CAKES
So here be a fantastic recipe I shamelessly lifted from Nigella Lawson, and I present it to you in the ethos on which the wonderful lady bases her recipe sharing. That being a recipe only exists when it is being used. Therefore the sharing and recycling of recipes is both endorsed and encouraged so I … Continue reading SALMON, AVOCADO & PUMPKIN SEED SALAD
I’m sure right now we’re all in a position where we’re staring deep into the souls of our fridges and asking for answers. Now you may not find the cure to Coronavirus lurking behind that ketchup bottle and scraggly onion, but I’m almost certain you will find the ingredients you need to fling together a … Continue reading FRIDGE RAID TRAY BAKE WITH HALLOUMI & PESTO
Here’s a promise to you. The most complicated thing I’m going to ask you to do here is chop and fold. How bout dat? A summer roll is fixed to be the freshest thing you’ll ever damn taste. It’s a tangle of crisp, crunchy, cool vegetables in an air-light rice wrapper that is not even … Continue reading VIETNAMESE ROLLS WITH PEANUT SAUCE
When I say I genuinely do like kale, I promise you that’s not me being pretentious for the blog! I swear. I’m always scared to put kale in a recipe because I know it will induce eye rolls and winces but I genuinely do love the taste and the texture is a nice, robust break … Continue reading KALE, MUSHROOM & SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH ANCHOVY BREADCRUMBS
I’m about to give you a recipe for what I will loosely label a ‘side dish’. However I am absolutely not above eating a plate of potatoes for dinner. I have, I do and I shall continue. Reserve your judgement, because when they taste this good, there is justification. I believe every household should have … Continue reading BASHED PESTO POTATOES
It’s usually in the dark of night with my head on a pillow and an eyemask on my mug that I remember… ‘… oh shit, there’s X in the fridge I need to use up’. This can range from a small box of eggs yolks (unwanted from a pavlova recipe) or even a leggy broccoli … Continue reading BLACK RICE & FETA TABBOULEH
‘Teach me how to cook’, he said. Domestic cooks will always shudder at the thought. Despite the fact that writing and sharing recipes like I do means that I do this very thing very regularly, it’s always funny when someone asks you of an evening to teach them how to cook, when what you was … Continue reading HOT WINGS WITH WATERMELON & MINT SALAD
I think this is my first quinoa recipe. And if I remember correctly in a post (maybe last year) I asked you to call the Police if I ever gave you a quinoa recipe. I sit before you with my hands in prayer begging for mercy. I described in my Aloo Gobi recipe, I now … Continue reading CHARRED CAULIFLOWER, AVOCADO & POMEGRANATE QUINOA
Milky and spicy are two words that never really sit well together. Unless it’s in a salad. Particularly this one. Milky in terms of the creamy, dense chew of mozzarella and spicy from the vibrant red flecked sweet chili sauce. An absolute breeze to make and surprisingly filling, it’s a spring/summer staple of mine when … Continue reading MOZZARELLA & POMEGRANATE SALAD WITH SWEET CHILI SAUCE
MIKEY AND THE KITCHEN.
