The other week we got sent some Seamore seaweed pasta to try. Although excited to try out a new recipe, I must admit I was a bit dubious to try this one. I am happy trying new ingredients but I was a little wary about how this one would taste and what the texture would be like (I think I had had a stressful week, … Continue reading Seamore pasta. Sustainable. Gluten free.
If there is ever such a thing as leftover steak in your house (a rare predicament in mine, but we bought 5 minute steaks yesterday) this recipe is perfect for you. It is a lighter way to enjoy steak and its great for warmer days or if you’re watching what you eat a bit more. While this is not strictly a Thai recipe, there are … Continue reading Thai style beef salad
Anyone who is a regular follower of this blog knows I periodically post another variation on brownies. What can I say? I like a good traybake and occasionally get a massive craving for brownies. Anyway, these came about while thinking of cheesecake brownies and wondering if I could make a swirl type brownie without using dairy products. Turns out it works pretty well and I … Continue reading Blueberry yogurt swirl brownies (dairy and gluten free!)
So I’ve heard some shocking reports of how Cream Eggs aren’t being made with Dairy Milk chocolate this year. While this may be true I was feeling kind when D had his friend to stay last weekend so I made them some brownies (which also made it to our respective workplaces). While cream eggs are a chocolate traditionally associated with Easter and I notice Easter … Continue reading Cream Egg Brownies (Gluten free)
I am well aware that Pavlova is generally more of a summery food than one for the depths of winter. However, hear me out. Frozen berries work wonderfully in this recipe and this recipe is amazing following a Sunday roast or for a special occasion. Plus, as its Valentine’s Day coming up, do you really want to pass up an opportunity to say “This my … Continue reading Pavlova
This recipe is an absolute dream for any people who are simultaneously obsessed with both Nutella and ice cream. For the rest of you, I honestly don’t know what is wrong with you. Currently I don’t have an ice cream maker but, although making ice cream can be time consuming without the kitchen gadget, the wait is well worth it. I cannot tell a lie … Continue reading Nutella Ice Cream
For once in this whole blogging thing I am being super organised as opposed to my usual writing up recipes weeks after they have been eaten. Why? Christmas is coming! I am fully aware we have a full month to Christmas at the time this post is to be published but this recipe would make the perfect thing to take to a Christmas meal, or … Continue reading Dark chocolate truffles aka a stupidly easy way to win friends
Everyone has to have a few recipes up their sleeve that looks super impressive but takes less than 5 minutes to cook. This is one of those recipes. It can be easily scaled up depending on the number of people, and works as a simple starter or as a light meal. Griddling is a wonderful cooking technique in that is adds a wonderful charred flavour … Continue reading Griddled prawns
Sometimes I start to think I am becoming a parody of myself. I usually buy several types of meat at once and freeze what I won’t eat that day. This is both a blessing and a curse. I buy things on a whim a lot of the time and then work my meals around it. This coupled with my habit of going to M&S at … Continue reading Wood pigeon salad
I know poached pears are a far more popular dessert but I am championing the poached apple today (possibly due to an absolute glut of apples at my parent’s house). Personally I have never particularly liked the texture of pears so I much prefer apples in their stead. This is a wonderful, light dessert. Perfect after a big meal when you fancy something sweet. My … Continue reading Poached apples
