Spicy cranberry salad with paneer cheese

This morning I opened my eyes and did what I usually do, I reached for my phone to see what is going on in the world. I was faced with images and stories of violence from what happened in Nice, France last night. I can’t imagine any God, no matter what religion that would approve … Continue reading →

It was my day off and I had no idea what to cook. I tried to flick through some cookbooks, some magazines and some blogs for inspiration. Nothing came up and all I knew was that I wanted to eat prawns. I went to the fishmonger and got the prawns and then I raided the … Continue reading →

I woke up the other morning and looked out. It was 6.32 am and the sky was beautifully red. From giving the outside world a sleepy eye I instantly woke up and I knew I had to grab the camera and capture the light. It isn’t quite that easy, I had to get everyone awake, … Continue reading →

As I was on my way home from a meeting in town, being squished against half the bin on the train, standing next to someone who had had a drink too many, I could not tell if it was yesterday or today, it had that sort of ingrained smell, with my head under a mans … Continue reading →

The internet in the office went down the other day, just after lunch me and my laptop went home and I did a pit stop at the butchers. I bought some pork belly. My always helpful butcher cut off the skin (no crackling this time) and the bones. I took the bones home with me and … Continue reading →

After quite a lot of food this weekend I felt the need for something healthy. I went to the shop to buy spinach, they didn’t have any so I got a bag of watercress, spinach and rocket leaves.  I decided to do a veg stew based on chickpeas, paneer cheese and the greens. I wanted … Continue reading →

Posted by petra08 on August 11, 2012 · 2 Comments 

It is a lovely weekend! Sunny and warm and just gorgeous! Early this summer we decided to get a new BBQ, the old one was promptly taken apart and placed in the pile of junk going to the tip (at some point). We never did buy a new one and of course it is quite … Continue reading →

And the cauliflower was purple!

I tried to grow cauliflowers from seed this year. I have never done that before and the little seedlings grew very nicely until they were planted outside where they quite promptly died one by one. In the end I went to the garden centre and got some plants. The plants looked very strong and after … Continue reading →
