Spiced Cauliflower

May 16, 2012 Recipes

My newest cookbook is The Hairy Bikers’ Best-Loved Recipes. I’ve read through it (yes, I do do that) a couple of times and noted lots of recipes I’m keen to try. The cooler weather in Adelaide has meant we’ve started thinking about stews, so later in the week you will be able to read all [...]

Vietnamese Shaking Beef

May 4, 2012 Recipes

Even though I am ‘at home’ most of the week I don’t have nearly as much time as I’d like for cooking exciting and elaborate dinners. So I am always on the lookout for tasty things that I can get out of the kitchen in reasonable time. Trawling through my delicious bookmarks I spotted this [...]

Chettinad Fried Chicken

April 5, 2012 Recipes

There is a restaurant review in the works but today I’m running short of time so here is an excellent chicken recipe that you might find useful over the long break. This is an Indian recipe (Chettinad is a region in Tamil Nadu, in southern India) but it’s a really welcome change to a big [...]

Beef and Beer Stew

February 15, 2012 Recipes

Well, Adelaide’s cool weather appears to have disappeared for a while, but our friends in the northern hemisphere are freezing their little tootsies off, so at least some readers should have an immediate use for this recipe. The rest of us can save it up until the next cool snap. As you may have gathered, [...]

Nigella’s Chocolate Nut Bar

January 30, 2012 Recipes

Normally, when I go to a lunch or dinner at a friend’s house I take some chocolate brownies. But it has been so hot here in Adelaide that there was no way I was putting on the oven. No way at all. I don’t really do a lot of no-bake desserts so I was at [...]

Cucumber and Chilli Salad

January 12, 2012 Recipes

I’m generally pretty rubbish when it comes to things horticultural, particularly if they’re vegetables. Flowers I’m actually reasonable at. Vegetables – horrendous. So it’s come as something of a shock to harvest four telegraph cucumbers in the space of 2 days. This set me to start investigating cucumber recipes … and cucumber and chilli salad [...]

Chocolate Brownies

January 5, 2012 Recipes

I’m a keen user of delicious, which is a fantastic electronic way of keeping together all those things that in real life I’d have on bits of paper floating around the house (and driving Andy up the wall). It turns out I have 27 brownie recipes tagged (let’s not even talk about the 100+ chocolate [...]

Gluten Free Shortbread

December 20, 2011 Recipes

I’ve been doing a ton of cooking lately – a first birthday party, followed by a Christmas party and I’ve still got a Christmas Eve party AND the big day itself to go! For the first birthday I was on the hunt for gluten free (or coeliac friendly) recipes.  As with vegetarian food, I find [...]

Carrot and Coriander Galette

November 11, 2011 Recipes

This is really a very pared down version of Marcus Wareing’s recipe in One Perfect Ingredient. I’ve owned this book for ages and I love it. I’ve also been looking at this recipe for ages and never got around to making it. Either we have the coriander but not the carrots, or vice versa. It [...]

Spicy Fried Potatoes

November 4, 2011 Recipes

Everyone loves potatoes (don’t they?) but sometimes it’s tricky to do something other than sauté them, mash them, turn them into chips and so on. Last night I was faced with an Asian style fish dish (recipe to come) that needed an accompaniment. We’d had rice the night before, there were no noodles in the [...]
