Ok so the tagline says pimping but I am not sure that really is the truth. In this case I am just adding even more joy to my classic comfort meal in the form of crispy smoked bacon bits and a whole lot of grated Parmesan cheese. I suppose it is pimped in a way…

My Basic Bolognese
It’s easy to say that Spaghetti Bolognese is my all time go to comfort food, when push comes to shove I just want to slum it at the kitchen counter with an easy meal and I find myself cooking a big pan of sauce to mix into a bowl of pasta. I try hard to…
Air Fryer Scotch Eggs
I do love a Scotch egg, a good one anyway, when done well it is a perfect hand held snack. I have tried to cook them in the past with mixed success often limited. But recently I have had a breakthrough while cooking them in an air-fryer. Essentially your scotch egg is a softly boiled…
Parsnip Korma (A root veg curry) inspired by Nigel Slater’s book Tender
I have a glut of parsnips in the allotments so have been looking for recipes to use them up. I found a root vegetable Korma in one of my Nigel Slater books (Tender volume 1 which looked pretty easy so I adapted that slightly to make this mostly Parsnip Korma. I was really surprised as…

I confess that like many most of my previous experience of eating Goat has been mainly restricted to Curried Goat from numerous West Indian, Jamaican, and Caribbean takeaways and restaurants. I am not going to list out the exact…
Cooking ‘Braised Kid Shanks with Chickpeas and Chorizo’ from “GOAT” by James Whetlor
Braised Kid Shank with Chorizo and Chickpeas was the first recipe that I tested out from GOAT (the Goat Cookbook) by James Whetlor. Without even drawing down into the details of the cooking part (which I will do below) I think we can agree this is a pretty awesome looking plate of food just from…
Prawn Coconut Curry
I made this Coconut Prawn Curry last weekend using whatever I had in the cupboard. I had a pack of prawns in the fridge, a tin of coconut milk, and an onion, so I just googled prawn coconut curry and got loads of suggestions. The best one was for a Quick Coconut Curry from Nadia’s…
“Hairy Dieters Fast Food” – Fish Curry
I love the cookbooks by the Hairy Bikers and I really have found that their Hairy Dieter series are a must have on the kitchen cookbook bookcase. I have all four of the books and I can honestly say that every single thing that I have tried cooking from those books tastes amazing and…
