so … if you find this site, this is a little post to tell you I have a new project; the red food project.com    

This is the first time i’ve cooked against the clock for 18 months, to be honest i’m a bit nervous. I was a bit nervous before doing my first ever Fifteen Minute Meal but after having cooked all these meals before I know it’s a bit ridiculous being nervous before cooking a bit of pasta for … Continue reading »

  Well after an 18-month break from blogging* I’ve decided its time to come back to this. There will be a new project … more on that later. But first, to help me get back into the whole cooking and blogging thing, I thought it would be fun to revisit some of these meals. I … Continue reading »

…Saffron Sauce & Garlic Bread    It ended not with a bang but a whimper…  It’s done.  It took one year and four months, which included two house moves.  I cooked 115 meals and made four smoothies.  I cooked for 236 people.  I did about 50% of them in under 15 minutes and 76% in … Continue reading »

… Chilli & Thai Noodles    This is the second to last meal.  This is also the meal I’ve least looked forward to cooking.  I have repeatedly told myself not to leave this till, last … not to even leave this till nearly last.  But I did.  If I’m honest it’s the little pile of … Continue reading »

… New Potato & Crunchy Salad    For some reason I’ve been a bit reluctant to cook this meal.  I think in part it might be the slightly simple look to the meal.  And that really is down to the simple boiled new potatoes.  I’m not the biggest fan of plain mashed or boiled potatoes.  … Continue reading »

… Grilled Corn & Crunchy Tortilla Salad  It’s been a bit of a slower start to the Christmas cooking than I’d have thought – but there’s still plenty of time.  This meal is particularly exciting looking.  Beautiful colours and it’s a jerk recipe.  The Jerk chicken dish in Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals is one of … Continue reading »

… Spicy Vegetable Noodle Broth    It’s Christmas.  Tomorrow Christmas cooking begins in earnest.  Today was about doing the food shopping … most of it anyway … tomorrow and thereafter is about the cooking.  This is one of those dishes that look beautiful.  I’m not sure why this is one of the very last meals … Continue reading »
