… Coddled Eggs & Tomato loaf    I’m in Gloucester cooking for my family tonight.  I‘m in the process of moving and I’m here with yet another carload of stuff I’m storing up in the loft. This is one of those meals that’s a bit unusual.  There are three/four different elements to the meal and … Continue reading »

… Irish Mash & Watercress Apple Salad  I remember the flavours of this one being simple but lovely.  The cider definitely added something and the salad was great.  If my memory serves me correctly this was one of those salads I’d have been happy to eat on its own.   I can’t now remember why … Continue reading »

… Lemon-Steamed Fish  So not for the first time, I’m well behind writing the blog compared to doing the cooking.  So this and the following few posts are written from a slightly hazy memory. If I remember rightly this was an easy one to cook.  It starts off a bit fiddley with scoring crisscross patterns … Continue reading »

… Pan-fried Aubergine & Cumin Crunch   This is the fourth of five meals I plan to do this weekend.  Ok, so two were breakfasts but nevertheless it’s quite a bit of cooking over just two days.  I have my friend Peter from church over for lunch today.  As is often the case it’s a … Continue reading »

… Fruit Salad    This is the last breakfast to make from the book.  This does look really very tasty. You great all the fruit with a box grater.  This is easy with the apple, pear, nectarine and sort of easy with the strawberries.  It is pretty much impossible to grate a banana.  It just … Continue reading »

… San Fran Quinoa Salad  This is a meal I have been looking forward to cooking.  I’m cooking for Gavin and Tam tonight and Gavin chose this one out of the, now only twelve, meals left.  I am determined to get one of the chicken dishes cooked in time.  I get off to a relatively … Continue reading »

… Get Up, Get Fed, Get Gone    This is the second to last breakfast in the book and therefore the second to last 15 Minute meal that isn’t really a 15 Minute Meal. I don’t really eat Granola (or the other similar dishes, like muesli) often at all.  Nevertheless I am looking forward to … Continue reading »

… Golden Grilled Sardines  Without any forethought I decide to cook a 15 Minute Meal tonight.  I get back from work (first day at the new job incidentally) and rush to the supermarket. I rush because I’m cooking fish and I need to get to the supermarket before the fish counter is closed. I have … Continue reading »

… Mediterranean Fennel & Couscous    I cooked this meal after my seconds to last day at my current job and after my last planning committee (ever possibly?) I was late home … I’ve written the ingredients down for this meal more times than any other.  I learnt early on in this project that the … Continue reading »

… Chop Salad & Harissa Yoghurt  Tonight I have my friends from work, Lisa and Alex, around for dinner (or formally from work in Alex’s case). Alex requested a meal that would put me under pressure.  I choose this one. I didn’t really think that it would put me under pressure.  And it didn’t. There … Continue reading »
