… Chillies, Guacamole & Salad      Today I felt like something a bit comforting.  I don’t really know why.  Perhaps it was the late night last night? I have been looking forward to doing this one from the very first night I bought the book. It looked, great and fun and snacky and comforting.  … Continue reading »

… Spaghetti & Smokey Tomato Sauce     So it’s a busy night tonight.  I left work slightly early so I could call home and then drive up to Gloucester.  Tonight I was cooking for some of my family before we went out to see a mime act (The Boy With Tape On His Face).  As … Continue reading »

… Avo & Smoked Ham      So I haven’t done a 15 minute meal for two days.  This project has taken on a bit of a life of its own and if I go two days without cooking and writing I feel like I’ve neglected the blog and I feel that I need to … Continue reading »

… Tomato, Basil & Creamy Curd Salad    I spent all day on Saturday gardening in my house that I rent out which is between tenants at the moment.  I have had help from my brother and Gavin so it only seems right that I cook them dinner again tonight.  After last night’s steak, a … Continue reading »

… Smoky Baked Beans & Collard Greens   It’s felt a bit weird. I haven’t cooked a 15 Minute Meal for two days. This wasn’t really intended. Well it was on Wednesday but not on Thursday.  For no particular reason I had chips and spent my evening doing ironing rather than cooking for people. Which … Continue reading »

… Miso Noodles & Crunchy Veg   It didn’t want to cook this one. There are a small handful of meals I’m not excited about cooking. There is one that I positively don’t want to cook. It is this one. It’s not the ingredients (I like them all … all of them). It’s the photograph. The … Continue reading »

… Charred Avo & Popcorn Beans      I fancied something quick tonight.  Now I know that is a stupid thing to say because all these meals are quick.  Most of the ones I have done have been in or around the fifteen minute mark with only two over twenty minutes.  Even twenty minutes or … Continue reading »

… Stilton, Apple & Walnut Croutes   It’s dark and cold and rainy.  When it’s dark and cold and rainy, soup is always good.  When it’s dark and cold and rainy, cheese on toast is always good.  How about both? I am sill in Bath.  It’s been a nice day of church, and then out for … Continue reading »

… Sweetened Cottage Cheese I remember very clearly the first time Erin cooked dinner for me.  I had met my match … more than met my match.  Erin is a very, very good cook.  Pieter does not cook much.  But he does make a very, very good breakfast.   Having breakfast made by Pieter is … Continue reading »

  … Mushroom Sauce & Spring Greens So this weekend I’m in Bath.  Bath is one of my favourite places in the world and i’m staying with my friends Pieter and Erin.  Saturday morning was spent in the market with Erin buying the ingredients for the three meals i’m going to cook this weekend.  I … Continue reading »
