These are really simple but really tasty, you can easily modify them by adding some lime zest or using sweet chilli sauce instead of beaten egg, I’ve even done a version with toasted coconut flakes and fresh chilli. I also did a version of these with added chilli and breadcrumbs in the batter for extra […]
This is inspired by the goulash in the Dog and Gun in Keswick and by beef goulash, you don’t have to doit in a slow cooker but it’s so much easier if you do. Ingredients 1 Sweet potato, (chopped) 2 carrots , (chopped) 1/2 butternut squash (chopped) 1 white onion (chopped) 1/2 red pepper (chopped) 1/2 […]
I’ve been playing with scotch eggs for a while. I’m almost as obsessed about them as I am with arancini. I’ve had all sort’s of ideas for replacing the egg with various things or spicing up the sausage meat with something a bit different. But for now the spice comes in the form of the […]
I love a good macaroni cheese, it’s so versatile and comforting, it can be served on its own or as a side dish it can be spiced, up padded out with vegetables, deep fried and even used as a burger bun, the only problem is it’s packed with calories. So I wanted to come up […]
One of my favourite parts of our trips to Hickory’s Smokehouse in Chester is their Suicide wings, so when a friend brought me a bottle of their newly bottle sauce up a few weeks ago I could’t wait to get stuck in. The first thing we did was put it on some steak for the […]
This is a great way to use up any vegetables you have left kicking around at the end of the week, it’s healthy, spicy and really tasty. You can even do it all in one pan and use a hand blender instead of a food processor that way there’s not much to wash up afterwards. […]
I love crayfish tails and can’t help buying them without thinking what i’m going to use them for and last night I found a packet in the fridge along wtih some veg and cream that needed using up, that resulted in this recipe being formed, it’s pretty delicious and if you replace the cream with […]
This is one of my favourite all year round pudding recipes, it’s an adaptation of a Gordon Ramsay Recipe and is pretty much foolproof. I’ve even tried mixing cherries into the batter which works really nicely, as does adding a splash of booze. A lot depends on your oven, the recipe says 12 minutes but […]
I’ve just got my hands on the new Hairy Dieters Book and those who follow my other blog will know how much of a fan I am of both books (which you can buy them here and here) There’s plenty of healthy and spicy recipes in both and those that don’t have any chilli in can easily be spiced […]
I love bolognese but everyone seems to have a different recipe and everyone has their opinions on what should be in the sauce, so after lots of experimenting and borrowing bits from various places around the web I finally made a recipe that I want to make again and again and again, you can leave […]
