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 [...]

Happy New Year and welcome back to Not Just a Man’s World! I hope all my reader’s have had a break over the Festive period and are feeling enthused for a fresh start on 2012, just as I am. 2011 was a tough year for me. I knew that I would be giving up my [...]

It’s always a pleasure when I’m hunting online for a recipe and find one that is already Paleo.

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 [...]
