The Damn Yankee is a firm favourite with the people of Harrogate. It is an American and Tex Mex restaurant that offers a range of burgers, steaks and assorted items from the grill as well as Mexican style favourites such as chimichangas and burritos. The menu is pretty cheap, the food is tasty and they do a pretty good range of cocktails which makes them … Continue reading The Damn Yankee
Deli food is my favourite food to pick at or make a lunch or a picnic tea out of. Sunday afternoon after a busy long morning of cleaning I settled down to eat toasted seeded batch loaf with a selection of Marks and Spencer tapenades topped with parma ham. Blissful in front of a good film after a hard morning’s work. Continue reading Lunch of the week
I’ll admit it, I love a good casserole style meal; especially chicken casserole. Chicken casserole is something my maternal grandmother used to cook me when I was a little girl and even now I find it warming and delicious comfort food. Now this particular recipe is adapted from something a friend suggested I make a few weeks ago. Basically I adapted it based on the … Continue reading Chicken and roast vegetable tray bake
It would come as no surprise to people who have seen the rate at which I can shovel rice into my mouth, but I love it. In particular I love squidgy, carby risotto. Depending on the ingredients you use you can make it pretty healthy as well as being delicious (as long as you don’t add too much cheese). Personally, I found that once I’d … Continue reading Wild mushroom, smoked garlic and butternut squash risotto
To my followers. I feel like such a fraud, 5 posts in and I’m jetting off on holiday. Due to work commitments I have been coming in late and generally rushing around like a mad lady.Also due to rushing back from work and collapsing in a heap I was eating omlette and soup a couple of nights and I really didn’t think anybody needed a … Continue reading An apology
As a Yorkshire girl at heart and someone lucky enough to live in Harrogate I am literally spoiled for choice when it comes to eating delicious food. As a rule I am not averse to eating food from chain restaurants and actually love some of them (I have something of a Wagamama obsession) it’s always great when you find somewhere local that does delicious food … Continue reading So!

As an aficionado of all sorts of baked goods it’s all to tempting to make (and eat) biscuits and cakes more often than I should. However, I usually reserve baking treats for times when I can share the delights (and the occasional disaster) with others. As my brother shares my passion for all things biscuity I decided to make some shortbread for when he visited … Continue reading 3 – 2 – 1 Shortbread. A simple shortbread story.
I find making soup somewhat therapeutic. I enjoy the methodical preparation of the vegetables and the anticipation of a warm, comforting, wholesome meal. Its won’t give you a food baby for the next 5 hours and you can make it to be low calorie without compromising on the taste. Roasting the vegetables in this recipe really brings out the flavour; especially the sweetness in the … Continue reading Roast red pepper, butternut squash and sweet potato soup
In my humble opinion sometimes there’s nothing better than marinated chicken. Its simple to do and extremely tasty. Tonight I made up a kebab recipe from the contents of my cupboard and it turned out pretty well. Ingredients for the marinade to make 4 kebabs: 2 chicken breasts a splash of soy sauce 1 dessert spoon of chilli sauce a generous splash of Henderson’s Relish … Continue reading Kebabs and other Friday night treats
