With three Tuesdays left before Christmas I thought I would write a bit about overall catering for the Christmas period. Last year I had the (perhaps dubious) honour of being the host for my side of the family at Christmas time. Since we live some distance from both my parents and my sister this involved [...]

I don’t often write up reviews and I’ve certainly never reviewed a food product before. My recent discovery of these bars convinced me that I needed to share the news with everyone else. I suspect that these are only available in the UK but that has to be good news for my UK readers. Up [...]

There seems to have been lots of information out there about omega 3 over the last few months so, a little belatedly, I thought I would pull it together into a short blog-watch. There’s not a huge amount but omega 3 is one of those things that those of us who dabble in the strength [...]
It’s always a pleasure when I’m hunting online for a recipe and find one that is already Paleo. When I picked up some pre-cooked, shelled cockles at the supermarket that were reduced in price my starting point was a search on Google as I hadn’t cooked them before (my thinking, when picking them up, was [...]

I mentioned last week that Chris was making savoury mince to create a sort of cottage pie when our oven was broken. Rather than turning his potatoes into jacket potatoes he chose to mash them but didn’t feel that curry went well with mash. I know I’ve done a cottage pie recipe before, but this [...]

This is an unusual soup flavour and I have to confess that it has purely been created to meet a cutting diet need. I decided that for extremely low calorie deficit weeks lots of mini meals didn’t work for me (the meal ends up so small that I just feel unsatisfied) and a daily fast [...]

Over time I collect together quite a lot of links in my Google Reader, stored up because I think they would be worth sharing with people who read the blog. Last weekend I thought I’d play a bit of a game, starting with my oldest link and then playing a form of word association with [...]

I was given a pressure cooker for my birthday near the start of this year. The pressure cooker was a vital part of my future life plan. I intend doing a lot more stock/soup type meals once I stop because it’s an obvious way to really get money’s worth out of our joints of meat, [...]

This isn’t the usual recipe post but I’ve had queries from a few people asking how I get my crackling to crackle every time so I thought I would dedicate a recipe slot to it. After all, there’s nothing better than a chunky piece of crackling to complete your roast dinner. I’ve been cooking regular [...]
