Thai massaman curry

Posted in Curry, Main dish, Poultry, Rice, Thai, tagged , , , on October 8, 2011| 4 Comments »

Thai food is another one of those things I missed out on for the first 16 years of my life. In fact, I don’t think I was brave enough to try it until I was at uni. Now it’s one of my favourites and I can’t believe I haven’t got any Thai recipes on the blog yet, so here’s one of my favourite Thai curries to rectify the situation! (more…)

Mexican chicken nachos

Posted in Main dish, Mexican, Poultry, tagged , , , on September 18, 2011| 7 Comments »

I have a confession. I’m not great at cutlery. I hold my fork in my right hand. I hold my knife in my left hand. When I have to cut things, I kind of just saw at them a bit and then try to drag them apart. It’s not classy. But this doesn’t need cutlery! No! You can just pick up the nachos, scoop up some chicken and cheese, straight in your mouth. Yes. You might need a fork for stray bits of chicken, but I can totally do fork only meals. (more…)

Chicken and courgette carbonara

Posted in Bacon, Creme fraiche, Egg yolks, Main dish, Pasta, Poultry, tagged , , , on September 4, 2011| 5 Comments »

As I love to add courgette to EVERYTHING, I was excited when I saw a recipe for Courgette carbonara a couple of years ago in Jamie at Home by Jamie Oliver. I copied out the recipe and I’ve made it often ever since.  Except that I haven’t, really. I’ve changed it every time until it’s morphed into something which doesn’t really resemble Jamie Oliver’s recipe at all, other than the fact that it has courgette in it. So I’m claiming it as my own. Is that too cheeky? (more…)

Cheesy chicken and mushroom spaghetti

Posted in Creme fraiche, Double cream, Main dish, Pasta, Poultry, tagged , , , on August 25, 2011| 2 Comments »

A few days ago I saw this recipe and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. I’ll admit, I’ve never actually heard of chicken spaghetti and I have no idea what Velveeta is, but cheese, chicken and mushrooms sounds good to me. (more…)

Mexican barbecue: Steak and chilli mushroom mexican sandwich and Turkey adobado

Posted in Beef, Main dish, Mexican, Poultry, tagged , , , , , on August 23, 2011| Leave a Comment »

The steak sandwich recipe wasn’t meant to be a sandwich. I was flicking through Mexican Food Made Simple and I came across a recipe called “Rib-eye steak with chilli mushrooms”. On the facing page is a picture of the yummiest looking sammich you have ever seen. So I started reading through the recipe and I realised the picture and the recipe didn’t match. At all. But the idea had been planted in my brain, so steak and chilli mushroom sandwich was what we made 🙂 (more…)

Chicken and chorizo pasta

I have nothing to say about this except I wish I’d made four times as much so I could be stuffing my face with more of it right now. (more…)

Chicken and chorizo jambalaya

Posted in Chorizo, Leftover ingredients, Main dish, Poultry, Rice, tagged , , on July 25, 2011| 1 Comment »

One pot recipes are my favourite to do. Just cut up the stuff and chuck it in a pan, then leave it to simmer for a bit. Easy! And there’s not even that much to clear up after. Not that I clear up. That’s Chris’s job 😀 Stop feeling sorry for him, I cook him nice food. (more…)

Parma ham and brie turkey escalopes with homemade oven chips

Posted in Breadcrumbs, Leftover ingredients, Main dish, Poultry, tagged , , , , on July 20, 2011| Leave a Comment »

This isn’t the prettiest of meals, but let’s not hold that against it. This is slightly poshed up turkey kiev and chips. And it was ace. You get to coat stuff in breadcrumbs! Does that make anyone else feel a bit clever? No? Oh. (more…)

Murgh makhani and a curry for Kim

Posted in Curry, Indian, Poultry, tagged , , on July 17, 2011| Leave a Comment »

My sister, Kim, graduated from university last month (with a 2:1 in History and Computer Science *proud*) and so we decided to have a graduation celebration this weekend. Our family typically likes to celebrate everything by making loads of food 😀 so Kim chose curry and cupcakes (which you can see here). (more…)
