Graham — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:48:00 +0000

If you like spicy Chinese food, then Kung Po chicken is for you. This Chinese recipe is best made for a group of special people you have coming over because it is not cheap to make and uses some exotic items that you will have to go to a Chinese supermarket to get. It is [...]

Gnocchi supreme recipe

Graham — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:17:20 +0000

I just love Gnocchi and this recipe has a creamy vegetarian sauce that I often add small chicken pieces or chicken mince to if I want some extra substance. The sauce is quite extraordinary with the pine nuts flavor really adding some depth to it. It’s a very simple recipe to put together if you [...]

Crayfish recipe

Graham — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:36:27 +0000

Summer time means seafood and the king of all seafood is Crayfish. The succulent sweet meat of crayfish tails needs very little fancying up and personally I am not a fan of Crayfish Thermidor, which I find so rich and honestly, why muck around with one of natures most beautiful flavors. (for 2) What you need 2 [...]

Indian Kofta recipe

Graham — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:40:41 +0000

Kofta Indian style with a rich tomato and yogurt sauce is just so morish your family will be wiping the bowl with whatever Naan bread is left over. Kofta is really a Greek dish but most countries do something like Kofta with various sauces and ingredients like this Kofta on skewers which is a very easy to [...]

Prawn Bhajis

Graham — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:35:30 +0000

Prawn bhajis are delicious little snacks that you will probably have to make a double batch of. The prawn and fresh fresh herbs compliment each other so perfectly that you will need every ounce of willpower not to hide them from everybody you made them for. Prawn bhajis or sometimes known as pakoras can also [...]

Shoulder of lamb supreme

Graham — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:53:33 +0000

Shoulder of lamb recipes you do not often find. For some reason it’s a lesser used cut of meat that is most often used in curries and the like cubed and off the bone. Well, I tell you this recipe is fantastic, it’s a roast so takes little effort (long roasting time though) and is [...]

Roast tomato and chicken liver penne

Graham — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:15:13 +0000

I have been on a bit of a chicken livers recipe mission lately since I had these incredible chicken livers and Prego steak roll at Espresso in Parkhurst last week. Their sauce is incredible, creamy and so morish you need every last chip piece of bread on the plate to scrape it up and then [...]

Roast vegetable pasta

Graham — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:35:57 +0000

Great pasta recipes are so good to have around, so print this one and keep it somewhere for anytime healthy pasta that is really so simple it could hardly be called cooking. When you roast vegetables it enhances the natural flavours which when combined with a few little extras is quite incredible. It’s a rustic [...]

Smoked haddock with a difference

Graham — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:06:27 +0000

I have always enjoyed smoked haddock and happily used it in kedgeree or with a really nice white sauce on toast for breakfast, but this really steps it up for smoked haddock. The crumbly topping makes a huge difference and it was a delicious fish meal. Most of us don’t eat enough fish so here [...]

Apple passion crumble

Graham — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:05:01 +0000

This is a really great recipe. Hot Apple crumble with whipped cream or ice cream is one of my real favorites but the passion fruit and pear flavour added to the apple is just fantastic. Don’t be shy with the whipped cream on this one, forget any diet your are on and just indulge yourself. [...]
