A Small Quiche
After watching Choki on YouTube, I had quiche on the brain. It's not often something I think about, but when I saw what she made, it wouldn't go away. (See her video here, quiche at 11:06) I had a large chunk of pecorino dolce to use up before it took over the fridge, so that …
TikTok Custard Toast
I'd never heard of this until earlier this week. I got a random email from Charlotte at the BBC, asking me to comment on this custard toast nonsense. Turns out Charlotte had asked on Twitter for someone to talk, so my boss from way back at Capita had told them to talk to me. What …
Tarte Tatain’t
It's not made with pastry, and there's no syrupy glaze but what there is, is cheese. And it was cooked upside down so there we go. 1 large potato, peeled if you like, cut into rough dice, about 1" x 1"4 medium parsnips, peeled and diced the sameOlive oilSalt1 tsp rose harissa paste or to …
Sri Lankan Tomato Curry
I'm not sure how I ended up with quite so many Oddbox tomatoes, but I did. Some were on the cusp of becoming a non tomato, so it was time to do something. I'd already done a fresh tomato and aubergine bake, but wanted something non Mediterranean. This curry is best made and then left …
White Chicken Chilli
Ok, so technically it's not white, but it has no tomatoes, or a sauce made with dried chiles, so it's a lot lighter in colour, and this one has white beans. I suggest using chicken thigh meat because if, like me, you make a big pot of this, it stands up far better to slow …
Stuffed Potatoes with Cypriot flavours
I've long been an admirer of potatoes. I never used to eat them much, at the height of low carbing, and then I realised that they were much maligned, along with the larger sized among us. I still feel a pang of naughty when I eat them, but it's a mere wisp of a pang, …
An Autumnal Bake
Another using up bits in the vegetable box recipe. The weather is definitely shouting Autumn at me. All those lovely autumn colours just had to taste good together, right? 3 carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally (more surface area) 3 parsnips, as above 2 apples, deseeded and cut into quarters - don't bother peeling them1 stick …
Sri Lankan Cabbage Rice
I watch a YouTube channel called Traditional Me. It's Nadee, her brother, Grandmother, and various assorted family members. Nadee has chosen to cook traditionally, over wood fires, and she shares it with everyone. I find them to be some of the most relaxing videos, and the scenery is entrancing. They make you feel wonderfully welcome, …
Crunchy Bread Pockets
I hate waste. I've probably said this before. I had a few slices of bread left that had gone a little mouldy on the crusts so I sprang* into action. Cut off the crusts, then rolled them as flat as I could with a rolling pin. Brown bread is surprisingly resilient. Cheap white bread would …
