A much needed bit of lightness in the midst of all the Christmas festivities. This is really nice and we got to use our new shallow casserole – not sure how we ever survived without one. The fish steams lightly in the oven which keeps it really moist and you’ve much less chance of over-cooking. [...]

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Autumn

Perfect as the nights close in and the seasons change. This is our second recipe from Rick Stein’s Spain and another success. It takes two days to make but is so straightforward that it’s not a chore at all. As we had torrential rain in Dublin on Saturday and Sunday we could not have picked [...]
Sicilian Lobster Broth

We got a surprise call from our great friend Ben who had some live lobsters which he was terrified of. He’s now got over this and is an expert lobster stabber and we got the benefit of two live lobsters too. I made this years ago before I met Jules and have always promised to [...]

Otherwise known as “Jamie’s Pasta Bake”; a simple, tasty dish that is easily doubled (or more) for parties. We made this after a day of travel from a family wedding in the south of France along with Roasted Garlic Toasts. Delicious hot for dinner and also cold the next day for lunch. The recipe suggests using [...]

So good that our friend’s David & Nicola fed this to their two-year old son Theo and he had seconds! We had trouble with the pastry, but the humid day really didn’t help. If you’re having trouble put the pastry in the fridge after bringing it together in the food processor to keep it cold, [...]
Sunday ‘Boeuf au Riz’
Posted in Beef, Food, tagged Beef, Cooking, French, I Know How to Cook, Recipe, Wine suggestion on 10 April 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Steaming hot in the casserole … this is so tasty and shows you how flavours can intensify with slow cooking. This has very few ingredients, but the three and a half hours cooking makes the flavours burst on your tongue and the beef melt (we carved it perfectly with a blunt knife). We’ll definitely be [...]
Carrying on with the Indian theme …

We were so enamoured by the Keralan Prawns two nights ago we looked for more lighter Indian dishes and found these in our newest cookbook: “I love Curry” by Anjum Anand. We admire Anjum’s style as she makes traditional dishes lighter, but never loses flavour or authenticity; these are no exception. As with all Indian [...]
Easy Prawn & Curly Kale Linguine

We debated whether this could actually be called a recipe as it is so simple; it’s more of an assembly job. To serve 2: 200g linguine 200g curly kale or spring greens olive oil 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 1 red chilli, finely sliced 200g raw prawns Cook the linguine following the instructions on the [...]
Josh’s Mediterranean Chicken

Here’s a recipe from my friend Josh. I was a bit confused when I read it – I’m all for easy recipes but chucking it all in a pot and sticking it in the oven made me think there was a step left out. Anyways apparently not. So chuck the following ingredients in a casserole [...]
Healthy Egg and Chips

We realise that we’ve been cooking lots of healthy stuff lately, but please don’t think that what we post is tasteless – if it doesn’t work, or IS tasteless, we don’t post it. This was really good and just as satisfying as the fried version. Only 5 ingredients in this one and we had all [...]
Smoked fish cakes with poached eggs

It’s another healthy one but not lacking in flavour at all. Haven’t had eggs for ages so poached eggs were a nice treat on the top. Don’t think we’ve ever had mushrooms in a fish cake but they definitely added good flavour and texture so we’ll throw a few in next time too. Smoked fish [...]
The last Turkey recipe … for a while!

The turkey in the freezer is finally finished. We actually feel a bit sad… no more free food! So once again, if you have any leftover turkey from Christmas, here’s something else to do with it. Inspired by Vietnamese Pho broth, which is usually made with beef. The recipe comes from BBC Good Food. Asian noodle [...]
