Chocolate, cherry and chilli muffins.
This is based on a recipe I found a while back on the BBC Good Food website but I decided to spice it up as cherry, chocolate and chilli is one of my favourite combinations and Black Forest Gateaux is one of my favourite things ever. If you don’t have any Krisch just use some of the syrup […]
Chilli and Cheese Poporn
After loving the Tyrell’s Sour Cream and Jalapeño popcorn and then making some Nando’s Piri Piri Popcorn I thought I’d try to make some cheese and chilli flavour popcorn my self as you just can’t beat warm freshly popped popcorn. I’ve got a few more complicated ideas up my sleeve but this is really simple and really tasty. […]
Cheese and Jalapeño Scone Recipe
I was watching the Great British Bake Off on BBC2 a few nights ago when Julia Bradbury made some cheese, chilli and ham scones, I couldn’t find the recipe on line so I decided to have a crack at making my own. This makes about 8 scones, and they’d be great with a bit of […]
Nando’s Peri Peri Chip Sprinkle Popcorn
I love popcorn, both savoury and sweet and recently enjoyed the Tyrell’s sour cream and jalapeño popcorn I picked up in the Co-op. I keep seeing recipes and ideas kicking about so I thought it was time to buy some popcorn kernels and get cooking although rather than wading in at the deep end and trying to make all […]
Cheesy Chilli Potato Croquettes
I needed a way to use the potato I had left over from my crispy chilli potato skins so I decided to make some croquettes but with my chilli up north twist. I used chilli jam from Lewis and Cooper but you could use any chilli sauce, jam or chutney. I deep fried them but […]
Crispy Chilli Potato Skins
A few weeks ago I was sent a package of Wigi Wagaa chilli products, The hot sauce was demolished on hotdogs at a bonfire party and I’ll write a bit more about it in another blog post but this recipe uses another one of the bottles I was sent, the Wigi Wagaa chilli oil, which […]
Spicy Sprout and Fennel Soup
I was rummaging round the cupboard when I found a bag of sprouts that were heading towards past their best and already had my meals planned out, none of which included sprouts so decided to have a go at making some soup out of them. I thought it might be a bit bland on it’s […]

Baked vegetable and chilli frittata
I’ve been cooking a lot from the Hairy Dieters book lately and have also been trying to make my own healthier recipes like the spicy 300 calorie pasta I cooked last week. This is a slightly slimmed down and adapted version of my picante tortilla recipe that i blogged about here, but without the meat […]
Spicy Chilli Slaw Recipe
I first made this slaw to go with my BBQ pulled pork, since then i’ve made it a few times and keep tweaking it but this is where the recipe currently stands. The beauty of it is you can mix it up, add new flavours like cheese, use different chillis or use different vegetables, red […]
