Chicken, chorizo and Jalapeño Tangle Pie
This is an adaptation of the delicious, Hairy Dieters Chicken and Ham Tangle Pie, it’s not quite as healthy but it’s blooming tasty. The chicken was sent to me by Farmison.com who delivery meat, game, veg and cheese to your door, it was part of a pack which I’ll write some more about soon but […]
Hot Paprika Pork with Fondant Potato, Chorizo and Sun dried tomato
I made this a couple of weeks ago, It turned out a lot better than I expected so I’ve decided to share the recipe on here. If you want to make the pork really round, wrap it tightly with cling film and leave in the fridge over night before cooking. To make the balsamic reduction, […]
Hairy Dieters Meat and Potato Pies
Those of you who read my other blog or follow me on twitter will know i’ve been cooking lots of food out of the Hairy Dieters Cookbook, one of the best things about the book is that in order to get flavour into a lot of the low calorie food they use a lot of spice so […]

Smoked Chilli and Fennel Pizza Recipe
I’m completely obsessed with smoked food at the moment, whether it be meat, cheese or chilli’s, I’m also totally obsessed with fennel and aniseed (with the exception of ouzo) so when Dave from Hardknott gave me a bottle of his latest beer and told me it contained star anise I couldn’t wait to try it […]
Quick Chilli Chickpea and Sweet Potato Curry Recipe
This vegetarian curry is so quick and easy but delicious, I wish I could take credit for it, unfortunately the base recipe was from a very old Good Food Magazine I found in the garage. The original recipe didn’t serve it with rice or contain some of the vegetables, they just simply put it in […]
