No, I don’t use TikTok, but yes, this is the viral pasta dish that was seemingly everywhere last year. I resisted for a while then caved in and gave it a whirl after it chased me around Instagram for months and months – turns out it’s excellent, super easy peasy, and has become a mid-week… Continue reading Baked feta pasta

(Not) KFC roast chicken
I’m always on the hunt for fun weekend food that I can make (rather than buy the fully processed version), and recently came across an article online that claimed to contain THE recipe for KFC, the actual special blend of herbs and spices that has been kept under lock and key forever. I couldn’t actually… Continue reading (Not) KFC roast chicken
Black bean enchiladas

In the mean time,… Continue reading Beef stew
Chicken kebab with crunchy red cabbage
Friday night is takeaway night in our house (or at least it’s food that feels like a takeaway) and last week we had this super colourful meal of chicken kebabs with flatbreads and all the trimmings. No you don’t have to lay the food out in rainbow patterns, I just don’t seem to be able… Continue reading Chicken kebab with crunchy red cabbage
Steak a la Nigella
Since discovering this recipe in 2012 when Nigella Lawson’s Italian cookbook Nigellissima was published, it’s been the only way we eat steak at home. It’s that good. Seriously. Only 2 steaks, in theory serves 4, but the 3 of us seem to rise to the task. Ingredients Marinade/dressing: 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 4… Continue reading Steak a la Nigella
