Foil baked cod with prosciutto, sundried tomatoes and goats cheese

So you know sometimes you’re just hankering after something but you can’t quite decide what it is? For days I have been craving something light and savoury but also meaty.

Crab, tomato and chilli linguine with green beans

Now, occasionally on a late Sunday I wander round M&S browsing for teatime inspiration. This Sunday proved fruitful as I managed to find some very reasonably priced crab meat and vine ripened tomatoes. Thus, I decided to make crab linguine using another few ingredients I happened to have in. Fortunately, this turned out really nicely. Its light and perfect for a summer evening as it … Continue reading Crab, tomato and chilli linguine with green beans

Chorizo sausage and cous cous salad thingy

I suppose this recipe IS a salad, but its a hearty salad. Filling enough to serve to even the most macho men (all men like sausages right?) you can use any sausages but chorizo ones work best with salady things in my opinion.

Spatchcocked poussin – here’s one I made earlier (or not!)

I’ve been curious about spatchcocked poussin since reading about it on Colourful and Culinary a few months ago. The BBC food website describes poussin as: A small, immature chicken, sometimes called a spring chicken, and weighing about 400 to 500g. Because the bird is only four to six weeks old, the flavour has not developed and there is not much flesh on the bones, but … Continue reading Spatchcocked poussin – here’s one I made earlier (or not!)

Baked sea bass with chilli and lemon

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.

Easy midweek meal idea – spice crusted chicken breast with roast vegetables

So like most people I often come back from work pretty bleary eyed and unwilling to cook. I mean, I might love eating so much I like to write about it and I might make up recipes and blogs but after a hard day at work (coupled with going to the gym) its pretty tempting to stick something in the microwave, especially as I’m usually … Continue reading Easy midweek meal idea – spice crusted chicken breast with roast vegetables
