Great food is like great sex. The more you have the more you want ~ Gael Greene
I decided to post this recipe after reading a tweet from my friend Jenty saying that she’d made this for supper over the weekend, and how well it had gone down in her household. That reminded me of a) how much I love carbonara, and b) that I haven’t had it for yonks (I go [...]

I’ve hummed and hahed (odd expression) about including this recipe, as I have no doubt that many of you will find another recipe for roast chicken about as exciting as reruns of a test-pattern, BUT part of me also thinks that this might equally be one of those things that everybody feels like they should [...]

Okay, although in this instance this recipe is intended to be a tomato relish to accompany the boerie rolls that I posted earlier, it can (very easily) be adapted to make a tomato base for mince, a tomato sauce for pasta, in fact almost anything that you fancy including cooked tomatoes in. You see, to [...]

I love roast chicken. To me it’s one of [...]
This paw-paw and avo salad is the first installment in this weeks Fabulous Friday Feast – I’m sorry that I’m posting it so late, but as I only thought of the Feast idea today, I didn’t have much time to prepare. Next week, I promise to be more organised!
To me there is nothing more appetising [...]
I have to confess – tonight I cheated and used shop made pesto. It was so nondescript, bland and dull (and oddly brown) that I decided that today’s dish of the day, had to be proper pesto – call it an atonement for my laziness, if you will. You see, although ready-made pesto may be [...]

Mustard Pork Chops (and yes, they taste a lot more glamorous than they sound)
One of my fave recipes from Nigella Express. They’re piss easy, take literally 10 minutes to make and are, unfailingly, delicious. So good, in fact, you feel you must be cheating, cos nothing this tasty should be that quick & easy. Also, [...]
