… Catalan Market Salad  So now basically it’s Christmas. Work is done.  I’m with my family.  Christmas food shopping is done (it took three days and five differnt supermarkets and a few return trips to some of those five).  The present shopping is done.  And warped. My fore rib of beef is bought. Suddenly I … Continue reading »

… Blue Cheese, Hazelnut & Apple Salad  I have felt like I have been neglecting my cooking project of late.  I don’t seem to be doing many meals each week at the moment and my blog posts often happen several days after I have actually cooked the meal.  I haven’t lost enthusiasm for doing it.  … Continue reading »

… Herby Vegetable Couscous & Tzatziki I’m cooking a Greek chicken dish tonight.  I’m doing this meal for Gavin’s, my house mate’s, family.  We all used to go to the same church when I lived in Nottinghamshire, about ten years ago.  It’s nice to catch up with them all.  By and large this is a … Continue reading »

… Hungarian Pepper Sauce & Rice  It’s Thursday night and before I have a meeting, I’m cooking a quick dinner.  Not as quick as I’d like as it turned out.  Tonight I’m cooking for my friends Jeff, Lori and Gavin. This meal involves making a tomato sauce packed full of loads of veg (two peppers, … Continue reading »

… Tomato Sauce & Courgette Salad    It feels like a while since I’ve done a 15 Minute Meal.  I hadn’t intend to cook a meal tonight, but decided to at about 6 o’clock and so a quick walk to the supermarket was required and I had no guests to cook for other than my house mate.  I feel … Continue reading »
