I don't just make soup.: April 2013

http://idontjustmakesoup.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

I don't just make soup. Adventurous cooking on a budget by a self taught, enthusiastic food obsessive. Tuesday, 2 April 2013. Butternut squash and cauliflower curry. I've written up a lot of curries on this blog, but I love them, and I love making them. They're also a brilliant way of using up stuff. The following recipe makes an awful lot of curry. It fed us tonight, then another pot of it to freeze so we can have it another night, then three portions for me to take to work. Giant pot of curry. 1 Fry th...

I don't just make soup.: September 2012

I don't just make soup. Adventurous cooking on a budget by a self taught, enthusiastic food obsessive. Sunday, 23 September 2012. Not quite perfect pizza. Then I watched Lorraine Pascale and she made a basic bread dough and used it almost straight away. I thought this could revolutionise pizza making in my house! Her recipe is here: http:/ www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/pizza expressed three 77124. I've made my own pizza sauce, my own toppings, and two tasty salads to go with it. One part lemon juice. I'm sa...

I don't just make soup.: July 2012

I don't just make soup. Adventurous cooking on a budget by a self taught, enthusiastic food obsessive. Monday, 30 July 2012. I'm genuinely enjoying the Olympics. I'm not into watching sport as a rule, but it's won me over. The opening ceremony was brilliant, and I've just been to London. Not for any events, I mostly watched bits of it in the pub/on a big screen in Greenwich etc. Not the healthiest approach to an enormous festival of sport, but one that I enjoyed. Curry one: Prawn with Spinach and Peas.

I don't just make soup.: May 2013

http://idontjustmakesoup.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

I don't just make soup. Adventurous cooking on a budget by a self taught, enthusiastic food obsessive. Sunday, 19 May 2013. Chicken, bacon, leeks. This is a sort of roast, made with chicken, leeks and pancetta or bacon. Serves two. Two cloves of garlic. Some pancetta / chopped smoked bacon. A glass of white wine. Roughly chop and wash the leek - it can be quite chunky. Smash up a couple of cloves of garlic and peel them (don't have to be finely chopped). Season the chicken legs with salt and pepper.

I don't just make soup. Adventurous cooking on a budget by a self taught, enthusiastic food obsessive. Tuesday, 15 January 2013. Everyone can make a bolognese. I'm aware there are lots of much easier ways to make a bolognese – often involving a well known brand of pasta sauce – but I've worked out this recipe throughout the last, erm, fifteen years? For many of those years I was very skint, so this recipe can also make 1lb of mince feed at least four people. This is almost certainly not authentic. Add th...

I don't just make soup.: November 2013

http://idontjustmakesoup.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

I don't just make soup. Adventurous cooking on a budget by a self taught, enthusiastic food obsessive. Sunday, 24 November 2013. A new kitchen and Moroccan-ish chicken. I apologise for the terrible photos. Frankly, I'd been drinking. As usual, I'm not one for writing up other peoples recipes, so here are a couple of links for the houmous and baba ganoush recipes I used. I made these in the morning before my friends arrived. Http:/ www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2029/homemade-houmous. A good slug of olive oil.

I don't just make soup.: The sauce that goes with everything.

http://idontjustmakesoup.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-sauce-that-goes-with-everything.html

I don't just make soup. Adventurous cooking on a budget by a self taught, enthusiastic food obsessive. Tuesday, 16 July 2013. The sauce that goes with everything. I love the sunshine. I love summer. Even if I have to plaster on the factor 20 just to leave the house. Even if it does make it really difficult to sleep during the day before night shifts, so that I end up lying in bed writing up a blog when I should be getting another hour or two of kip. A sunny spot by the canal. Not too shabby. We had it wi...

I don't just make soup. Adventurous cooking on a budget by a self taught, enthusiastic food obsessive. Wednesday, 21 November 2012. We've been very busy the last few weeks and I've not really been keeping on top of things in the kitchen. This includes buying food. Joe has been a legend and has done the shopping, but that can mean we have an awful lot of some random things. Often it means we have a lot of booze and meat. Strangely, this time, we have a lot of celery and potatoes. A handful of fresh spinach.
