Pea and Pancetta Risotto

by James May 30, 2010

While I nurse my massive hangover from yesterday’s ‘Caves Ouvertes’, let me tell you about a little risotto from last week.   Risotto is one of my favourite things – it’s so incredibly easy and is just about the most comforting dinner ever.  To make the risotto below you need just a few things: risotto rice, [...]

Spaghetti Carbonara with a Twist

by James May 19, 2010

Comfort food tonight, with a bit of a twist.  A classic Spaghetti Carbonara with some mushrooms and parsley.  Carbonara is very simple to pull together and can help you out of a dinner dilemma.  All you really need are some eggs, bacon (pancetta is better), spaghetti and parmesan.  I added in some big button mushrooms, [...]

Roast Chicken and Tomato Open Ravioli

by James May 17, 2010

Tonight, you’ll be mostly reading about some open ravioli which was made at the same time as the Mushroom Ravioli.  It’ll be a quick post tonight as it’s based on the same ravioli discs from last month’s recipe.  The only other bits needed are some roast chicken, onion/garlic, white wine, chicken stock (real or fake), [...]

by James May 11, 2010

I managed to sneak some scallops pasta the 2 gatekeepers today (Sarah & Max) and have treated myself to a great dinner on the sofa.  Just don’t tell either of them. Amazingly simple and amazingly great.  All you need are peas, some bacon, some scallops and some balsamic vinegar.  (I added a few extra bits, [...]

We’re back, thoroughly refreshed from a week of eating and drinking in Sardinia.  Dinner tonight had to be quick, using only the vegetables we picked up on our wander through the market, and the leftover bits of roast chicken (that Max had his eye on). Tonight, I give you a vaguely Asian style Crispy Chicken [...]

Lamb and Mint Burgers

by James April 26, 2010

Tonight, for your viewing pleasure, we have a deliciously simple Lamb and Mint Burger that is good for those who are watching the waist.  I’m no dietitian, but burger baps can’t be that good for you!  Below I propose have an alternative that rendered 4 plates clean in seconds. Before I begin,  the small list [...]

Wild Mushroom & Chicken Ravioli

by James April 25, 2010

I went for a quick a wander to the market on Sunday in the blazing sunshine (first outing in shorts so far) and found some wonderfully fresh local mushrooms for the fresh ravioli I had in the back of my head… Some asparagus and fresh vine tomatoes, a few herbs and a poussin (baby chicken) [...]
