I’m so excited to present this Banting recipe to you from “The Real Meal Revolution” book by Tim Noakes and Co. I bought the book because my hubby was interested in the whole low-carb and high-fat way of eating. As an ex-dietician, I was totally opposed to anything but the traditional dietary guidelines…I mean of…
Main Meals
Beer Battered Hake and Chips
Beer Battered Hake and Chips is soul food if you ask me. Especially if you’re at a seaside village and it comes wrapped up in newspaper. Aaaah love that!!! I’ve finally added a really tasty and really easy beer batter recipe, as well as a homemade chips recipe and a tartare sauce recipe. I made…
Easy Roast Gammon
A Roast Gammon can seem a little daunting to cook – perhaps it’s because they look fancy with all the pineapples and cherries and the talk of this glaze or that glaze. I’ve always delegated the gammon to an older, wiser person in the family with more cooking experience. BUT, I have now learnt exactly…
Broccoli Chicken
This is my own low-fat, hip-friendly, watching-what-you-eat-approved nommy broccoli chicken recipe!! Whoa! This dish is so full of taste and yet so light and healthy! Did I mention you can cook this in 15 minutes flat? Uhuh! So we’re ticking all the boxes here – easy, family friendly, nutritious and low in fat. If you…
Chutney Chicken
This recipe was given to me by my beautiful mother. It’ so quick and you really don’t need many ingredients which is what I love about it. Also, if you don’t have cream, you can always use mayonnaise. In fact a lot of people use mayonnaise instead of cream when making a Chutney Chicken dish…
Chicken and Sausage Paella
Never in a million years would I ever think to put sausage with chicken and make a paella. I always thought “Paella” was a seafood dish. In fact it is really a rice dish with seafood or chicken/meat or a mixture of both. Anyway, if you read my last post (strawberry and banana custard) you’ll…
Chicken and Guinness Bake
Yummy Yummy Yummy! My go-to recipe for this winter without a doubt. And, what’s even better it’s low in fat, nutritious (yes even with the beer) and it takes about 15 minutes to prepare. How about that!
Best Ever Fillet Marinade
Mouth-watering. You won’t be able to get enough of this marinade/sauce once you’ve made it. Ridiculously yummy. And so easy you can whip this up in 10 minutes flat! I’m telling you!!! Promise! This is a modified recipe from Chang’s Mongolian Beef – a hugely popular and highly pinned recipe on Pinterest. I’ve modified it…
Mint and Coriander Lamb Chops
Mint and coriander are wonderful combinations and this pesto makes for a tasty topping on lamb chops. Serve the chops with coriander mash or roasted baby potatoes.
Delicious Beef Ragout
Oh my soul! This is one of those recipes that leave you weak at the knees. The mixture of tomatoes and beer with beef and bacon creates an incredibly rich flavour and it’s difficult not to go back for seconds. And although there are quite a few ingredients, everything is cooked in the same pot…
Sweet and Sour Pork
Sweet and sour pork is a Chinese dish that is particularly popular in Cantonese cuisine. Follow this easy step-by-step recipe and impress your guests with an unusual but delicious dinner – often referred to by Americans as chop suey.
Southern Fried Chicken
Fried chicken has deep roots in American cultural history, but has for a long time been a common staple worldwide. When chicken coated in a breading mixture is deep fried, as illustrated in this easy recipe, it seals the juices and succeeds in satisfying just about everyone’s taste buds.
