Let me count the ways… With baked beans for lunch Stirred through mashed potatoes Potato cakes using #2 Towered with grilled apple slices and roasted turnip rounds In a full Scottish breakfast Stuffed in pork loin In a soft floury roll with lots of brown sauce So, seven ways then.

Pretty Little Raspberry Soufflés
Posted in Food, Recipes, tagged dessert, easy, food, meringue, pretty, raspberries. souffles, recipe on August 16, 2011 | 16 Comments »
I’ve left this post rather late. Raspberry season (and summer) is fast coming to an end. There are still a few berries to be found in the raspberry hedges though and bramble time is just around the corner . Brambles would work perfectly here too, I’m certain. Light and fluffy, sweet and pretty, these little [...]
Aloo Matar
Posted in Food, Recipes, tagged food, indian food, recipe, scrabble on June 7, 2011 | 14 Comments »
“Aloo” is the hindi word for potato. So popular is aloo gobi (Indian spiced potatoes with cauliflower) and aloo saag (with spinach) in the UK that the word “aloo” has recently been entered into the official Scrabble dictionary.

My family (originally from the Glasgow area) call this “homemade soup”. One could make, lets say, carrot and coriander soup from scratch [...]
Roasted Vegetables (Staple # 2)
Posted in Food, Recipes, tagged food, recipe, staples, vegetables on March 26, 2011 | 13 Comments »
Much like my recipe for garlic butter, I was very hesitant to share this idea for roasted vegetables. Not only are they something that I suspect many people make without giving much thought to, this isn’t exactly a seasonal dish. But roasting is a great way to liven up hothouse-grown peppers and we eat these every week without fail. I promised [...]
My Heaven: His Hell
Posted in Food, Recipes, tagged blue cheese, food, heaven, hell, mushrooms, recipe on March 20, 2011 | 18 Comments »
D’s not a fussy eater but he does not like mushrooms at all and I don’t think there is a verb strong enough to express his loathing of blue cheese. I, on the other hand, love both and had an utterly divine lunch featuring both today. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Unless you are [...]
