This may well sound disgusting, but trust me – it’s delicious, vegetarian, and very cheap. An odd fusion of flavours, I know, and I do have a slight pang about the green beans flown in from Kenya … Put some basmati rice on to cook whatever way you like – there are, it seems, dozens…
Month: January 2009
3lbs of stewing steak
I wanted to make Anjum Anand’s Gujerati lamb with fenugreek dumplings at the weekend, so sent Pete out to the icy wastes of the outdoor freezer to fetch some lamb. He returned without, as he couldn’t find any, and it’s all gummed up with ice and we need to defrost it. But he was clutching…
unexpected belly pork
Unexpected, because I took two bags of bones for stock out of the freezer on Saturday, and when I looked at them on Sunday one of them turned out to be a not very big piece of belly pork …
a lentil bake
I’m a big fan of lentils – I just love the texture, and we often have a lentil lasagne or moussaka.

goose and bacon pie
using up: cold goose, bacon, apple juice, ready made pastry I thought we’d seen the last of Johnny Goose, but when Pete manfully tackled the carcass after we’d boiled it up for soup, there was a fair bit left. There were other bits and pieces too, so it was deemed Pie Time. I fried off…
pasta with meatballs and courgettes
Using up: sausagemeat Apologies for the lack of posting – Pete and I have been laid low from the lurgy, and very little has been happening in the cooking department. We made the last of the goose into a risotto, and then we had macaroni cheese on Wednesday – one of the best comfort foods…
