After the other day’s cheesy bon-bon tomfoolery (a sentence never before written by mortal hands), I felt it best to act quickly; who knows how long this burst of enthusiasm for leftovers will last? To that end, I resolved to make a pasta dish with what little remained of good old Delia’s bread sauce. I…

Cheesy Bread Sauce “Bon-Bons” with Red Cabbage
Now that I have something a little more inspiring to write about, I’ve slithered back over here with a whole fridge full of Christmas leftovers, eager to please and asking your forgiveness for my lax attitude to blogging. There was barely space to breathe in December, and now that we’re coming to those scant few…
Chicken Singapore Noodles
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…
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…
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…
Cheats’ Lentils with Spicy Roasted Cauliflower & Lime
Let’s start off with the following: none of my posts are sponsored by anyone or anything. Only a fool would sponsor me to tell bad puns and write footnotes about how great my wife is.* However, should any rich fool wish to sponsor me, I have only the morals I can afford. Hit me up. Anyway,…
Balsamic Onion, Goat Cheese & Samphire Tart
What is samphire? Good question! Samphire is something that we ate raw straight off the rain-soaked salt marshes of some place in the arse-end of nowhere whilst on some kind of Geography trip, when we were but knee-high to a grasshopper and wanted nothing more than to stand in the rain eating strange vegetables. English…
