Do you ever get those days where you’re simply at a loss of ideas for what to cook for dinner? It happens to us from time to time and I hate it! I have a complete mind blank. I can’t think of any types of food, no ingredients. I think of meals that we’ve had…
On a chilly autumn Sunday afternoon, there’s nothing we like better to eat than a succulent piece of meat. However, instead of opting for the traditional Sunday roast dinner, we like to mix things up a little! For this dish we headed to our local butcher and picked up a couple of pork chops and…
After a bit of a slump in recent weeks, where I haven’t felt excited to cook and haven’t felt very creative, I’m trying to get things back on track. The last couple of recipes have been part of a ‘new me’. I now set aside time each week to actively get inspired by looking on…
To be honest this isn’t so much a recipe, but more a ‘you must try’ Levi Roots! I can’t remember when or how we ended up with a packet of Levi Roots Jerk Coat and Cook sauce in our cupboard, but I know we’ve been meaning to use it for weeks. The sauce is really…
Now before you read this post I have to warn you that this is not going to be a week night recipe. Unfortunately this one takes a little longer to prepare and cook, so it’s best kept until the weekend when you perhaps have some more time on your hands. That’s of course, unless you…
I was sent these amazing sauces from new brand Meat Lust and couldn’t wait to tuck into them and try them out. Stew and I are very much into our marinades and sauce and are always eager to incorporate new flavours into our cooking. Meat Lust offer four different sauces – Green Sweet Chilli, BBQ…
How incredible is this homemade Spanish omelette?! My boyfriend is so proud of himself. I can’t take any credit for this recipe, this was all him. Otherwise known as a ‘Spanish tortilla’, a Spanish omelette is almost a cross between a quiche and a frittata. It’s a lot thicker than an English omelette, and uses…
Last weekend Stew and I stopped off at our local green grocers for a range vegetables, to roast in the oven as part of a Mediterranean dish we had planned. No sooner had we popped through the door, than a large box of mixed vegetables caught our eye. These vegetables were all sorts of different…
I rustled up this quick and easy dish one evening for Stew last week. I have recently moved to a new job where I finish a little bit earlier each day, meaning I get home before Stew and have more time to get on with dinner. I’d never really been a fan of cooking up…
One night last week my boyfriend stayed on a little later at work so I decided to treat him with a surprise dinner, ready for when he got through the door (earning major girlfriend points). I spent my lunch break at work deciding on a recipe, and popping out to Tesco to get a couple…
I found the idea for pea and asparagus mash when watching Jamie Oliver on ITV’s This Morning. He created a seabass dish and had added mint and chilli to the mash too. Plus a little raw asparagus as a salad garnish. I had the intention of recreating the dish but it was a Sunday, it…
