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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 was another recipe for the Aubergine Files. Unfortunately the last two recipes haven’t gone down well with Chris because I haven’t managed to get rid of the salt-flavour from the aubergine, no matter how thoroughly I’ve rinsed it afterwards in cold water. 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 [...]
