Wild Rosehip spice mix Roast Chicken

One of the best things about having a market stall is that I am there early in the morning and can cherry pick goods from other stall holders. I usually buy a bag of vegetables, a lot of it is local so it is always seasonal products. This week I saw gooseberries for the first … Continue reading →

Tandoori style Korean roasted chciken

The other night I had a conversation about fusion cooking. Where does it start and there really aren’t any limits to what you can do.

The weather is much colder with winds from the East. I turned the heat up and made sure we have a good supply of fire wood. The blankets have been washed and I feel ready to well, hibernate! As this isn’t an option the next on my list is comfort food and mac & cheese is … Continue reading →

I started the year with all the best of intentions of being healthy, to exercise more and to cook healthier food. I have managed to get out exercising quite a bit but then the cold came, and what a cold! It is bone chilling, face numbing and well, it drove me, one day, to look … Continue reading →

Last weekend I woke up and saw a note on Twitter that there was a farmers market in Cliftonville, Margate. I have never been to Margate before and what better reason than a farmers market?! Parts of Margate give a bit of a run down impressions but the beach is beautiful.     One of … Continue reading →

Roast chicken with spiced rice stuffing

I don’t cook rice very often, I like it but somehow I never quite seem to get it as light and fluffy as I like it. Much to my delight I had some left over rice in the fridge and from the moment I placed it there I knew I had to cook something nice … Continue reading →

Seafood starter, chestnut stuffed roast chicken and wild apple pistachio crumble

Posted by petra08 on October 19, 2012 · 3 Comments 

I saw some chestnuts weekend before last and promptly wanted to make roast chicken with chestnut stuffing. Every year we forage for chestnuts in a place where there are so many we could spend a whole week picking them and there would still be plenty more! Last Sunday I thought we should go there and … Continue reading →

When I have time I sometimes just can’t resist a roast chicken, it is such perfect weekend food (Sunday dinner). It is lovely to tuck in to but equally nice with all the left overs, making for at least one more meal if not more! I like marmite, not too much but every now and … Continue reading →

As wonderful as holidays there is always a satisfaction in coming home. No matter how much lovely food I eat when I am away and no matter how tired I am when coming back I have to cook and get that sense of normality. Today I came home with a craving for roast chicken. I … Continue reading →
