Paleo recipes: seafood medley (Primal)

January 31st, 2012 · No Comments · Diet, Recipes

This sauce has a sharp tang from the vinegar but I found that it didn’t put me off too much.  I used 50ml of vinegar, which I have reduced to 30ml in the recipe below.  The original recipe I found had rose petal vinegar that is probably lighter, but white wine vinegar is what I [...]

Paleo recipes: courgette (zucchini) noodles

January 24th, 2012 · No Comments · Diet, Recipes

This is an incredibly simple vegetable replacement to pasta that is particularly helpful when you are eating something with a lot of sauce – in particular a creamy sauce.  Most people who follow a Paleo diet will have already come across these, but I wanted to include them here for the sake of completeness. My [...]

Paleo recipes: pork chops in a spiced sauce

January 21st, 2012 · No Comments · Diet, Recipes

There’s lots of pork cooking going on at the moment because pork is surprisingly cheap in the supermarket.  Hopefully everyone who reads this blog also enjoys pork!  This is a recipe that I tried for myself and was so pleased with it that I cooked it up again a week later for Chris’s birthday dinner. [...]

Paleo recipes: pine nut stuffed chicken thighs

January 17th, 2012 · No Comments · Diet, Recipes

This was another recipe put together with the ingredients in my store cupboard.  I tried it a couple of times changing the ingredients a little each time – the variant below is the best combination of flavours I found.  The flavours are quite delicate and this needs serving up with delicate flavoured vegetables, such as [...]

Paleo recipes: Chinese pork stir-fry

January 10th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Diet, Recipes

Early in the year I needed to cook up something to eat with a very limited store cupboard.  I had made a trip to the supermarket just after New Year, on our way back from the walking trip, but it was late on the Bank Holiday Monday and they had almost nothing left on the [...]

Boxing Day menu

December 20th, 2011 · No Comments · Diet, Recipes

During the last three Tuesdays before Christmas I’m writing a bit about overall catering for the Christmas period based on my experience of hosting the family last year. After writing at length about catering for Christmas Eve and (in even more detail) Christmas Day, this is the last article.  It’s going to look at how [...]

Christmas Day menu

December 13th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Diet, Recipes

For some reason this didn’t go live last Tuesday when it was supposed to and this is my first visit to the blog since then, so I’ve just re-posted.  During the last three Tuesdays before Christmas I’m writing a bit about overall catering for the Christmas period based on my experience of hosting the family [...]

Christmas Eve menu

December 6th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Diet, Recipes

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 [...]

Paleo recipes: Cockles in Coconut Milk (Macunim ao Coco)

November 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Diet, Recipes

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 [...]

Paleo recipes: savoury mince

November 15th, 2011 · No Comments · Diet, Recipes

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 [...]
