recipes with fish in them
These bad boys are stupidly easy. I made them last week after the gym and the thing that took longest was waiting for the prawns to marinade, which took all of 20 minutes. You could marinade them in advance or cook them and serve them cold when you want to eat them. In addition they can be cooked on anything; I used my George Foreman … Continue reading Quick and easy prawn skewers
Now the moral of this story is – sometimes you have to delve in your freezer, fridge and store cupboard when looking for culinary inspiration. I had an idea of making some frozen cod I bought about 8 weeks ago into a sort of spicy tomato thing, but I never got round to defrosting the fish, let alone making up a recipe. I couldn’t think … Continue reading Cod in a spicy tomato and courgette sauce
Well I have had an absolutely lovely weekend this past weekend. It started with dinner (tea if you’re Northern) and wine at my friend’s Miss S’ house on Friday night, followed by a trip to the Cake and Bake Show in Manchester on Saturday and Sunday (I got tickets for both days from a lovely chap on eBay). J accompanied me to the Saturday and … Continue reading Mud Crab Cafe – Didsbury
So my friend (we’ll call her Ed for the basis of the post) and I are doing a course of climbing lessons. It’s really fun and good exercise and there has been some joking about eating protein before going to strengthen our muscles. Well as we’re climbing at the Harrogate climbing centre near to me I am taking full advantage of cooking for someone else; … Continue reading Baked sea bass with chilli and lemon
So you know from a previous post that J and I had a weekend away at the end of January to celebrate our 5 years together. Well I have a second restaurant review for your entertainment and enjoyment. I didn’t review every restaurant we visited as it does get pretty wearing I think for friends, partners and family when you are taking pictures of their … Continue reading Edinburgh part 2 – Tigerlily (So I procrastinated a bit with this post)
I love tuna steak. My work colleagues hear me say “you know what, I think I’m going to have tuna for tea” on pretty much a weekly basis. Tuna is a meaty fish and fish is really healthy as it’s a fantastic source of lean protein. This recipe is ridiculously quick and easy. Even if you think you can’t cook you can do this recipe. … Continue reading Tuna steak with spicy soy sauce glaze
I was lucky enough to have a weekend away in Edinburgh with J this weekend. I actually had the best time, good food and sightseeing is a pretty perfect way to spend a 5 year anniversary. Armed with several restaurant recommendations we actually chose our first restaurant due to its vicinity to our apartment (flurries of snow were coming down and it was too cold … Continue reading Mussel and Steak Bar Edinburgh
So I think I planned this post months ago after J and my holiday to Menorca. As well as being a completely beautiful place to visit I was surprised about the high quality of the food, especially seafood. I really shouldn’t have been; given that Menorca is pretty famous for its lobster stew. While we did consume a LOT of Spanish style dishes we were … Continue reading Menorcan Cuisine
For the last few days I had the inconvenience of a broken cooker so you can imagine my whoops of delight when my landlord installed a shiny new hob. On Wednesday night I came in from the gym absolutely ravenous and ready to chow down on some serious carbs and protein. However, I was also pretty tired so I decided to do something easy with … Continue reading Smoked salmon salad
