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 [...]

Nearly two years ago I put up a recipe for beef curry. Six days a week Chris and I have a mince meal. While our oven was broken Chris played with making a savoury mince that would go well with mashed potato, turning it into a sort of cottage pie. However, we usually gravitate towards [...]

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 [...]

So the recipe below gave me slightly salty moussaka. It’s not the [...]

Our village supermarket sells packs of pre-cooked mixed seafood, mostly mussels but also including squid rings and prawns among other things. While they always have them in they also seem to frequently have a pack or two reduced to incredibly low prices because it is nearing the best before end date. The recipe below is [...]

I have recently discovered Nando’s Peri-peri sauces. To my delight I found that the ingredients are pretty much acceptable to the British Paleo-consumer, providing something that can give a bit of a kick or added flavour without too much kitchen faff! The medium peri-peri sauce lists the following as its ingredients: Water Vinegar Onion Salt [...]

Rhubarb is incredibly easy to grow in the UK climate and appears all over the place in traditional English dishes. Despite its simplicity in the garden only a small percentage of people actually enjoy eating rhubarb, which is a shame. Like gooseberries it can be tart and sour, but with the right added ingredients it [...]

This is my variation stuffed aubergine (eggplant) recipe, after deciding that the anchovies in Delia’s recipe were a bit too much for me. This is a combination of several different vegetarian stuffed aubergine recipes which I have found with a few touches of my own added in. Ingredients (serves 2 as a side dish or [...]
