… Ratatouille & Saffron Rice   I have a freezer full of meat.  I have just bulk bought a load of beef from some friends with a small farm.  They have Dexter cows and the meat is delicious.  The knowledge that I have some of the most beautiful beef in the freezer inspired me to … Continue reading »

… Poached Chicken and Salsa Verde    I have enjoyed the Soups and Sarnies section of this book a lot.  This meal seems like a good place to start a renewed effort to finish this project.  Tonight I’m cooking for my housemate Gavin and my friend Lasma.  It’s dinner then backgammon. Lasma brought a Latvian … Continue reading »

… Kinda Nicoise Salad  This is one I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. It seems like a great summer dish, so perfect for a warm Friday evening.  There really isn’t a lot to report with this one.  I could not get “yellow beans” so my mix of green and yellow beans was … Continue reading »

… Beans, Greens & Chilli Yoghurt    When I started this project I didn’t think that I’d be cooking a 15 minute meal while camping.  This is partly because I thought I would have long since finished the project by the summer but also because cooking food like this on camp is a bit of … Continue reading »

… Couscous, pomegranate & Harissa  Tonight it felt like the project was back on track.  I don’t really know why.  I was cooking for someone new.  I was cooking one of the meals I’ve wanted to cook since the start of the project.  What ever it was, it felt good. An added bonus to this … Continue reading »

… Porcini Rice & Spring Greens So this one I did, more than a little while ago, for my friend Hannah and my house mate Gavin.  This wasn’t one of the best ones.  I should clarify it wasn’t not one of the best ones because of the company.  It wasn’t one of the best ones … Continue reading »

… Tapenade Toasties & Cucumber Salad  So as of yesterday it had been a month since my last Fifteen Minute Meal, and after today it will be a month before the next one.  I’m about to go of on my Canadian adventure (with a small detour to Seattle) and I won’t be back until June.  … Continue reading »

… Little Welsh ‘Rarebites’ Shame, Shame, Shame on me … Forgive me for I have sinned, it has be a month since my last … since I last cooked a Fifteen Minute Meal.  I’m very aware I’m behind on this project.  I’m very, very aware that I’ve been cooking badly again, which can be roughly … Continue reading »

… Carrot, Coriander & Clementine Salad  So this is also one of those meals that I’ve been looking forward to cooking from the start, but I’m only getting round to it now.  In part that was due to the recipe needing a preserved lemon and it took a while to source those. Latterly it’s been … Continue reading »

… Bubble & Squeak Mash, Red Onion Gravy  Ok so this one was also over a month ago.  What I know is that this was one that I have been looking forward to cooking since I started this project.  It’s just that the pool of people who I know will enjoy the meal and not … Continue reading »
