… Greek-Style      So this morning I bought the ingredients for another fish dish (yes an easy one). But tonight I didn’t cook it.  I cooked (made) this instead. I had the ingredients and I bought a toastie machine this morning.  I had not intended to, but I did.  I went looking for a … Continue reading »

… Fluffy Corn & Chilli Pancakes   It’s Saturday morning and I planned to cook this meal.  It’s from the breakfast section and the introduction to the recipe suggests that this is an amazing weekend breakfast so it seemed appropriate to try it. The recipe is for four for breakfast so I thought it would … Continue reading »

… Braised Greens & Potato Gratin     So basically this is kind of like a Sunday lunch that you make in fifteen minutes (or nearly eighteen minutes in my case).  This meal looked a bit special and so it seemed fitting for a Friday night. Tonight I have Gavin, Debbie, Dan and Cat coming … Continue reading »

… Avo & Crispy Pancetta  So it’s Thursday night.  On Tuesday when I cooked the Beef Kofta Curry, it was the eighth day in a row that I had cooked a 15 Minute Meal and I did nine meals in that eight day period.  I did not cook one on Wednesday.  My friend Hannah cooked … Continue reading »

… Fluffy Rice, Beans & Peas     It’s Tuesday night and I’m off to see Danny Bhoy tonight.  Now, all I know about Danny Bhoy is that he is a comedian and he’s Scottish.  The reason I know about Danny Bhoy is that a few weeks before the Edinburgh Festival he was doing a … Continue reading »

 … Warm Tomato Salad & Naan I made this dish last night.  I fancied something vegetarian and this one looked good.  Before doing this project I thought that you had to soak red split lentils for at least a few hours (ideally overnight) before cooking.  This is the second meal where I have cooked the … Continue reading »

… Tuscan Bread Salad    Saturday crica 12:15 Kenny – location – Tesco waiting at the checkout.  Gavin – location – in town. Text – Gavin to Kenny: I’m leaving town now … do you need me to get anything. Call Kenny to Gavin: Kenny: can you go to Morrisons and try and get me … Continue reading »

… Creamy Garden Salad      I was so full last night after being at Lisa’s Greek restaurant that I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to eat much today.  We had the Meze and they just kept bringing us food.  I am cooking two 15 Minute Meals today.  One for lunch and one … Continue reading »

… Coconut Rice & Miso Greens      I think I’ve lost my fifteen minute mojo! This is the fourth meal in a row that has taken more than fifteen minutes.  After last night I was really keen to get back in under the fifteen minute mark.  But I didn’t.   I did this meal for … Continue reading »

… Herby 6-Veg Ragu    I took a trip to visit my friends Andrew and Carol to cook for them.  While it isn’t as easy to cook in someone else’s kitchen, I was relatively confident with this one.  There is a pasta dish in Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals that I cook a lot.  I don’t … Continue reading »
