Mary Berry parma ham and mushroom pasta
I saw her make this on tv on Saturday morning and thought I’d give it a go. It was really very tasty indeed. If I did it again I think I’d lighten it and make […]

Easter weekend cooking
The weekend started with easter eggs. Fried on toast. On Saturday, we had the same as last weekend: scallops and white pudding, paella (without chicken this time as I forgot to defrost it but I’m not […]
Pea, leek and edamame bean risotto
I love risotto. It takes a bit more time than I would usually like to spend cooking during the week – about 30 minutes – but for a weekend dinner it’s fine, really easy, and another […]
Salmon in a creamy prawn, white wine and garlic mushroom sauce
An idea for a fishy Friday night dinner or an alternative Sunday roast. We had it as a Sunday roast. Salmon is quite a ‘meaty’ fish and worked really well with the roast spuds and […]

On holiday in France a few years ago, before dinner, I was handed a small plate of sliced and fried boudin blanc. It was one of those foodie moments that lodge in your memory, so delicious […]
Tricolore on toast
I had some stale-ish homemade bread, avocado, tomatoes and a mozzarella that needed using up. I will definitely do this again. Took 3 minutes to make. A 3-minute masticatory miracle. What to use – serves 2 […]
White wine on a bed of cubed ice, with an avocado
This is something I like to throw together when I don’t have enough energy left in the evening to wield my trusty spatula. It’s cheap, easy and ready in seconds. The beauty of the screw […]
Chorizo, cheese and tomato frittata with skin-on chips
This weekend’s Sunday breakfast, and the result of an outrageously unenthusiastic reaction to my suggestion of egg on toast. Because of the chorizo and pancetta, there was a lot of oil in the pan. If I […]
