New Food Mondays: Hugh's Overnight Home Cured Bacon Chops
http://newfoodmondays.blogspot.com/2011/07/hughs-overnight-home-cured-bacon-chops.html
Reports and bad photographs from a year of trying to cook more adventurously. Monday, 11 July 2011. Hugh's Overnight Home Cured Bacon Chops. Carrots, butternut squash and potatoes. Salt, pepper, sugar, juniper berries and bay leaves. This is the first recipe in a while that I got properly excited about and it turned out to be one of the best yet. This has to go down as one of the tastiest and most satisfying meals I've done so far, with the tangy, salty pork being perfectly complimented by the sweet mash...

New Food Mondays: Jamie's Spinach and Feta Filo Pie
http://newfoodmondays.blogspot.com/2011/08/jamies-spinach-and-feta-filo-pie.html
Reports and bad photographs from a year of trying to cook more adventurously. Monday, 8 August 2011. Jamie's Spinach and Feta Filo Pie. Cherry tomatoes and cucumber. This week's New Food Monday starts (as is becoming traditional) with me blaming our local supermarket for not having a key ingredient. This week it was filo pastry, and I have to admit I had but low expectations for the puff pastry we substituted, after rejecting Plan A (throw tomatoes at staff). For a veggie recipe, it wasn't cheap - coming...

New Food Mondays: Jamie's Sticky Pan-Fried Scallops (and Chocolate Brownies)
http://newfoodmondays.blogspot.com/2011/11/jamies-sticky-pan-fried-scallops-and.html
Reports and bad photographs from a year of trying to cook more adventurously. Monday, 14 November 2011. Jamie's Sticky Pan-Fried Scallops (and Chocolate Brownies). Rice, spring onions and eggs. A good chocolate brownie recipe is closely-guarded and much envied. While that was in the oven I could get started on the rest of the meal - covering the scallops in oil, lemon zest and five-spice, before frying with honey, chopped chilli and a little garlic. Carbs were provided by boiling some rice and stirring i...

New Food Mondays: Hugh's Beetroot & Cumin Soup with Stilton & Leek Tart
http://newfoodmondays.blogspot.com/2011/03/hughs-beetroot-cumin-soup-with-stilton.html
Reports and bad photographs from a year of trying to cook more adventurously. Monday, 14 March 2011. Hugh's Beetroot and Cumin Soup with Stilton and Leek Tart. So for my first Veggie Lent, I thought I'd go ambitious - I've never cooked a quiche from scratch and I've only ever cooked with beetroot once before. Admittedly, I did cheat and use pre-rolled pastry, but it was still quite a faff and took two hours from start to finish. To this I added 100g of Stilton, two eggs, two egg yolks and an artery-stopp...

New Food Mondays: Jamie's Chicken Skewers with Satay Sauce and Fiery Noodle Salad
http://newfoodmondays.blogspot.com/2011/10/jamies-chicken-skewers-with-satay-sauce.html
Reports and bad photographs from a year of trying to cook more adventurously. Monday, 17 October 2011. Jamie's Chicken Skewers with Satay Sauce and Fiery Noodle Salad. Peanut butter and cashew nuts. Coriander, lime, chilli, soy sauce, ginger. They say you shouldn't go shopping when you're hungry. This week I had little choice, dinner being delayed by some super-manly exercise. First I made the satay sauce (hello again, my blender friend) - coriander, chilli, garlic, soy, ginger, lime juice. In fact I lov...

New Food Mondays: Delia's Crisp Roast Duck with Confit of Sour Cherries
http://newfoodmondays.blogspot.com/2011/02/delias-crisp-roast-duck-with-confit-of.html
Reports and bad photographs from a year of trying to cook more adventurously. Monday, 7 February 2011. Delia's Crisp Roast Duck with Confit of Sour Cherries. This is a recipe I'd been meaning to try for a few weeks but never managed the necessary preparation - soaking the cherries in wine for 24 hours and drying the duck legs to achieve the desired crispy skin. The only change I'd make would be increasing the volume of sauce, or reducing it a little less to make sure there was more to go around. Mel Narr...

Eat my cake: Eat my cakeing Birthday Cake!
http://eatmycakeingcake.blogspot.com/2011/12/eat-my-cakeing-birthday-cake.html
Trying out new things in an effort to be a less lazy and generally a more creative person. Sunday, 4 December 2011. Eat my cakeing Birthday Cake! On the 18th of November it was my lovely (but very hyper) friend's 23rd birthday. Seeing as she made me a delicious praline chocolate cake for my 23rd and. A giant blue cookie, it seemed only right that i baked her a cake in return. Http:/ www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5819/white-and-dark-chocolate-cake. Taste wise, I prefer my signature chocolate fudge cake, it ...

Eat my cake: WARNING! This cake contains your monthly calorie allowance (probably).
http://eatmycakeingcake.blogspot.com/2012/08/warning-this-cake-contains-your-monthly.html
Trying out new things in an effort to be a less lazy and generally a more creative person. Monday, 13 August 2012. This cake contains your monthly calorie allowance (probably). On Saturday my good friend George came to visit. It was the first time we had seen each other for two and a half years. Such occasions I decided, deserve a cake. A really yummy and fattening cake. After flicking through my recipe cook entitled 'Chocolate', I settled on the White Chocolate Truffle Cake. 250g of mascarpone cheese.

Eat my cake: September 2011
http://eatmycakeingcake.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Trying out new things in an effort to be a less lazy and generally a more creative person. Sunday, 4 September 2011. For Christmas I got a sewing machine. I had wanted one for ages, but shamefully until now all I have produced from it are three cushion covers. I used some scarves that I bought with the intention of wearing like this (minus the rollers and wrinkles). Once this project is completed, the boyfriend wants me to make a binary duvet cover. I'll explain that when it gets its own post :P. Post-ro...
