A blog about... all sorts of things
It’s been a really long time since I’ve posted anything and I wasn’t entirely sure I would again but then decided to try again and see it went any better this time. OK, so it’s not entirely the case that I have things to conribute that the world simply can’t...

Breakfast is difficult. Not for me as such on a daily basis when I can fend for myself but at the weekends, having to feed the picky Englishman (thankfully only at weekends). Normally I am content to just have some eggs (omelets) with whatever veg I have to hand or...
If you’re even wondering what could make this topic deserving of a whole blog post, much less multiple blog posts (because this is a subject I can expound on at great length), clearly you won’t be able to relate. You either do not live with a picky Englishman, you are...

Is it just me or does it always seem that there are some bananas lying around, turning black before they can be eaten? Call me picky, but the moment they start to develop a couple of black spots I relegate them to the “inedible” category in my mind and think...
This tartare sauce recipe is so easy, I’m almost embarrassed to post it. And truth be told, I could work harder, I could (should) make mayonnaise from scratch and get hold of fresh herbs. And while all that is good, it’s not essential if you want a tasty and super...

This salad is my new favourite evening meal and I could happily eat it at least three times a week. I don’t obviously, as that would be a bit over the top, but it’s such a great light meal that takes just a few minutes to create and has great...

What is courgetti you ask? I’m going to pretend that you’ve asked as I need a question to answer. So, basically, we’re talking about courgettes, either cut into thin, pasta-like strips or made into spirals using a spiraliser. Is anyone still using a spiraliser? That is sooo last season I...

I love duck and duck legs are a nice economical way to eat this extremely rich meat with the added bonus that they are pretty hard to overcook. You can always slow roast them when you’ve got a few hours to spare but when I need a quick meal after...

I can officially confirm that it is no longer summer. Not that it has been for quite a while. There were a couple of weeks in June when things looked promising but it has been nothing but a letdown ever since. At least I can now feel fully justified in...

Cooking under pressure is a brilliant thing. By this I don’t mean high pressure situations where you get home from work and everyone is starving and something not only edible, but delicious and healthy, needs to be served up in no time at all. Although clearly that’s a part of...

It has recently been pointed out to me that my blog is not living up to its name – in as far as, I don’t actually talk about sauces. So to remedy the situation I’m going to offer up a stupendously simple recipe for a sweet blackberry sauce that goes...
