What’s a girl to do when her pescatarian wife is off doing Serious Business with work of an evening? I’m here to tell you that a girl is to cook up some chicken and noodles, give the cat a lot of affection, and watch Food Network trash in a vain attempt at appearing totally chill about…

Lightly Fried Fish Fillets
I’m gonna level with you: while these are indeed lightly fried fish fillets, I could definitely have named them something else. I could’ve gone with something a little more informative, like “Herbed Panko-Crusted Basa”, which is what this is; I could even have gone one step further and somehow intimated to you that I’m serving…
Cauliflower Fishcakes
Cauliflower – the best vegetable? It’s a very real possibility. I’ll eat it pretty much any way it comes, including roasted, boiled, pureed, and smothered in cheese sauce. I mean, that last one isn’t particular to cauliflower; I’ll eat anything smothered in cheese sauce. Even kidney beans, probably*. The only thing I’m not really sold…
Lentil Shakshuka with Goat Cheese
Shakshuka (or shakshouka, or chakchouka or…) is a Mediterranean dish of eggs cooked in a spiced tomato sauce, sometimes served with feta – or other salty cheeses – crumbled over the top. Is it breakfast? Is it lunch? IS IT BRUNCH? Who’s to say. My favourite foods straddle that invisible line between morning and evening…
Creamy Carrot & Ginger Soup
It’s finally the season for soup once again; the days of putting stuff in a pot, leaving it for half an hour, then blitzing it and calling it a meal are upon us. Superb. That’s exactly the level of effort I want to make in the dead of winter. Less, if at all possible. This recipe…
Easy Turkey & Black Bean Chilli
Meat? On my blog?? It’s more likely than you think…* While my wife is barely even pescetarian, given the infrequency of her fish consumption, I do still eat meat on occasion; chicken forms the basis of a lot of my work lunches, and I’ll often have a burger if we go out for dinner anywhere. Saying…
White Chocolate & Pecan Spider Cookies (+Bonus Brownies)
It’s nearly Hallowe’en, folks, which means I have yet another excuse to dress up as a Harry Potter character without even considering whether or not that fits the usual spooky criteria. I just don’t care! It’s all about the robe potential. Precisely zero points for guessing who I was meant to be*. Arguably there is…
Coronation Chickpea Naan Pizza
It’s okay, you can say it; I’m a terrible person. I’ve been off gallivanting* and have subsequently completely neglected to post any recipes, in spite of the fact that several new ones have left my kitchen in the last month. I have taken very few photos, and mostly eaten stuff without thinking about what went into…
Strawberry & Passion fruit Almond Mess
You know who’s a mess? Me. However, fruity though I may be, I did not go to Eton; there are several reasons for this, but most of them will probably be fairly obvious. That’s never stopped anyone from eating Eton Mess, however, and I am not one to be cowed by a bunch of lads…
Sticky Tofu with Spring Onions & Cashews
It’s been too long since I’ve had tofu, and I need some of that weird, sponge-y goodness in my life again. I’m also trying to pack out my meals with really lean protein so that I stop wanting to eat an entire sharing bag of Kettle Chips after dinner while sobbing. What do they put in those…
