Classic roast chicken dinner with an Asian twist
I love Sunday dinners, they can take their time, it fills the house with inviting smells, allowing the hunger to build up and to properly sit down and eat together.

Salmon on my mind
On Friday night I was so hungry I needed something quick and easy so I made a casserole from sausage and beans and a sprinkle of Joes smoked cheese. Not the most sophisticated dish but perfect weeknight food with a glass or two of red. I was thinking yesterday what I would want to eat … Continue reading
Seafood in plenty and a wee dram of whiskey
I spent the last weekend in Edinburgh and it is a bit like a fairy-tale city. I was there with a friend and we spent most of the day on foot just enjoying the atmosphere and on occasion stop for food, drinks and a spot of shopping. We woke up Saturday to a clear blue … Continue reading
Pete’s praised paella cooked on the open fire
I did a trip to Edinburgh very recently and it is just beautiful. The city oozes charm, history and old money.

Warm quinoa salad
It seems to get colder and colder outside and I can feel a cold lurking just waiting to come out. I have quite a lot on so decided to go for a very healthy dinner that hopefully would boost my immune system. I didn’t have time to go to the shops so had to make … Continue reading

Yesterday was quite mild so I thought I wouldn’t need my woolly hat and gloves today, I should have checked the weather forecast. It was freezing!

A proper Sunday lunch
Sunday lunch is one of the best things of the weekend and this Sunday I had an order for a rib of beef with all the trimmings. I had some mushrooms left over. I removed the stems and filled the caps with the last of the bassajo blue cheese and black garlic and baked it … Continue reading
