This easy Thai Red Curry Chicken Sandwich is an exercise in smushing together tasty things and getting a delicious, satisfying meal at the end of it. I don’t always like to spend hours in the kitchen, particularly on a Friday or Saturday. I want things that are quick, simple and tasty. I don’t want to eat […]

This recipe is for a simple but delicious yogurt cake that can take a bit of personalisation. A few years ago I used to make cakes all the time. It seemed like every weekend I’d whizz off into the kitchen, look through my cupboards and knock something together. I’d experiment and have fun, twisting basic recipes […]

Winter is approaching, the nights are coming in and everything is starting to seem that bit more chilly and miserable on the weather front. It’s that time of year where I crave the more traditional dishes; pies, stews and all things braised. This homemade Minced Beef and Mushroom Pie ticks several boxes – it’s comforting, […]

Spiced and flavoured roasted nuts are perfect for movie night, with drinks… or just because! Roasted nuts are one of the many favourites I have for movie night. In the UK I’d become ever-so-slightly addicted to Mr Filberts Peruvian Pink Peppercorn Cashews & Peanuts… at the time they were sold in Waitrose and made a […]

Fresh pitta breads, with their delightfully airy and fluffy pockets, are a particular treat for me. In the UK it’s pretty easy to get your hands on some cheap, reasonable pitta breads. My early teenage self loved to toast them, stuff with ham, cheddar and chutney before nuking in the microwave until they resembled a […]

The long dark nights have arrived and it’s gotten cold here in Bavaria, so it’s time to whack the oven on and crack out the roast dinners. As Christmas is approaching, I thought I’d offer my take on a very simple and boneless roast turkey breast. Now I know it’s not rocket science, but if […]

This Indian Inspired Grilled Chicken recipe isn’t authentic in the slightest, but it is pretty tasty (if I do say so myself). There’s minimal prep work for the chicken, making it one of those dishes you can sort out the night before and then forget about. Easy peasy! This dish came about when I wanted […]

This British Chinese takeaway inspired Chicken Curry has taken so many tries to get it like I wanted. Welcome to attempt number five or six (I lost count) and the version I’ll be keeping in my recipe book. I know it’s not a pretty looking thing, but it works for me. Out of the blue […]

Rock Cakes (or Rock Buns, depending on your region of choice) are a pretty traditional British teatime treat. They don’t require many ingredients and can be as simple or fancy as you like. Grab a mixing bowl – these will be out of the oven before you know it. I don’t profess to know the […]

Katsu curry sauce recipes are everywhere on the internet. They’re not hard to find and you’ll get them for free, written by actual, proper chefs. But none of the ones I tried quite got me to exactly where I wanted to be. So for that reason, here’s the way I make my Katsu curry sauce. […]
