I saw the recipe that inspired this whilst I was doing my daily trawl of Pinterest! I could literally spend hours looking through recipes and have amassed somewhat of a collection- so much so that it’s become something of a recipe book for me!! The original recipe caught my eye because it combines chicken, lemons…

Chicken and Chorizo Cassolé
I call this recipe Cassolé as a play on words as this is neither truly a casserole nor a cassoulet but is a happy accident combining the best bits of both. A cassoulet is all about sausage and beans, whereas a casserole is usually about slow cooked meat and vegetables but thankfully this dish ticks…
Flabulous Chicken and Mushroom Pie
Its cold and rainy outside and I don’t really want to have to go out to the shops and get something in for Sunday lunch. After a root through the freezer I found chicken breasts and have some mushrooms in the fridge so thought, rather than do a traditional roast, I would try my hand…
Mid-week Mini Roast
OK its Monday – I was too knackered to cook a roast dinner yesterday but had shopped for all the bits so needed to use everything up. Obviously I dont have time for a full on roast today so I popped the beef into the freezer and took out some chicken breasts this morning I…
Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs
Yesterday for my birthday I decided to admit my age and have a BBQ rather than pretend I’m in my 20s and go out clubbing – besides I did that on Thursday AND Friday. Most of the BBQ was your usual artisanal sausages and burgers – courtesy of the farmers market – but I decided…
We go together like…. (Or what are your food foibles?)
A while back I posed a question to my colleagues. I asked them whether Yorkshire pudding should be the preserve of the roast beef dinner or whether it could be much more versatile than that. Many believe that “anything goes” but a few, myself included, believe that, as it’s a combination that works, why mess…
Easy Peasy Thai green Curry
Tuesdays are our favourite tv night so we want something satisfying but healthy to see us though the night. It’s also one of our busiest days at work so I’m usually tired but this isn’t so much a recipe as a throw together takeaway menu with all the taste and none of the huge cost!!…
My week of not eating sarnies…day two
Another day, another change to my menu plan!! As we didn’t eat the roast chicken at the weekend we had that last night so I thought I’d use yet more leftover chicken (this time the legs and thighs) and revisit an old favourite – Chicken with roasted veg and couscous… Ingredients A pack of mixed…
My week of not eating sarnies…day one
So after this weekends excitement of not making sarnies I thought I should prove it can be done. Anyone who knows me will know that I had a heavy weekend and don’t do mornings so today was a real test!! But here we are just before 8 o’clock and I’m done, ready to go, with…
My mums roast chicken dinner post
My mums visiting so we are having my mums roast chicken to celebrate. This all started at 6pm sharp with cocktails, we had belinis with smoked salmon on brown bread as our cocktail hour starter!! Meanwhile the pavlova has just come out of the oven and the bird has gone in so all is on…
