I’ve no idea how to do this authentically – this is a made-up version based on the idea that I sort-of knew what it should look like. Tastes pretty good 🙂 It’s a quick tea – even quicker if you have a bit of leftover tomato sauce or chilli that you can just add to […]

I always try to eat savoury then sweet pancakes on pancake day – so, cannelloni made with pancakes instead of pasta. These are dead simple to make. Starting with making two pancakes per person – Delia’s is a winner. Make up a ragu or bolognese sauce – or make sure there’s some in the freezer. […]

I’m not a fan of the cakey, heavy brownies that seem to be the standard now – this version is darkly chocolatey, pleasingly gooey and nuttier than a squirrel’s breakfast. I cut this recipe out of The Week about two years ago and I’ve been messing about with it ever since to get it just right. According […]

From time to time I get a bit of feedback about my recipes. It’s nice to know it’s not just my mum who’s reading 🙂 I’ve been told that I don’t write enough veggie recipes. I also get teased that everything I eat revolves around pork chops (I won’t name names but you know who […]

[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D This is my version of a rich, silky Carbonara. A bit of low fat creme fraiche supplies the creaminess so that clearly cancels out any calories from the cheese and bacon. I’m sure that’s how it works, isn’t it? I always keep a few little packs of diced pancetta in the […]

There’s been lots of twitter talk today about favourite fillings for pancakes – it seems most people will be tucking into the classic lemon and sugar. We love them so much we eat them all year – mostly for breakfast on weekends or for a quick midweek dessert. The challenge we set ourselves on pancake […]

[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D I really look forward to weekend breakfasts, but I’m always on the lookout for something a bit different to the usual full English. I remember seeing Jamie Oliver use crumpets in an eggy bread/French toast recipe with a pile of fresh chilli – probably a couple of years ago now but […]

[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D I have a slightly odd relationship with Yorkshire puddings. As a kid I never liked them (which for me translates as wouldn’t try them) and it wasn’t until I went to live in York and saw these massive Yorkshires filled with meat, veg and gravy and I really gave them a […]

[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D I’m writing this on Saturday morning so naturally thinking about the weekend breakfast choices. I often make this for a treat on the weekend as it’s a nice change from the usual suspects. I’m justifying  including it here as it’s a lovely light dinner dish too – quick, very little work […]

If there’s a box of eggs in the fridge, you can always make a tasty tea. Just by beating a couple of eggs, you can transform the odds and ends lurking in the back of the fridge into something really rather good in a matter of minutes. Any combination of the following (or anything else […]
