Indian Spiced Roast Chicken

Posted By: Gastrogirl, 27th April 2012, in Feeding Families, Recipes, Skinny Bible, Student Corner, Weekly Favourites
This was another Pinterest-inspired recipe, and yes, I know I need to get some help to wean myself off that thing.  It’s just so full of ideas I’d like to have had, uber-cool people I’d like to know, and glamourous, stylish lives I'd like to lead. It's...

Recently, on a trip to the magical Cliffs of Moher, we had a bit of a movie night.  Huddled in front of a roaring fire, with four DVDs to watch, it was definitely an evening for comfort food.  And we all know pasta is simply Italian for comfort...

Posted By: Gastrogirl, 22nd March 2012, in Dinner a Deux, Feeding Families, Recipes, Skinny Bible, Student Corner, Weekly Favourites

Yep, I know, far too many ingredients.  What happened was that I got a notion for Butternut Squash soup, and then when googling images on how best to present it, found this topping.  And I just so happened to have those ingredients in...

Savoury Pancakes: Gastro Galettes

Posted By: Gastrogirl, 21st February 2012, in Dinner a Deux, Feeding Families, Man Food, Recipes, Student Corner, Weekly Favourites
Here's a blast from last year's past - my Shrove Tuesday posts.  Who'd have thunk I've passed a year blogging already?!! Time flies when you're having fun :) The pancakes in our house would probably be better described as crêpes - light, fluffy and delicious.  However, this means they...

Goat’s Cheese-Stuffed Chicken Breasts on a Bed of Vegetables

Posted By: Gastrogirl, 21st January 2012, in Dinner a Deux, Feeding Families, Recipes, Student Corner, Weekly Favourites
Yep, this is a makey-uppy recipe. No professionals were involved in the making of this food.  No websites to link, no posh ingredients and definitely no proper measurements. Furthermore, as your eyes wander down to the photographs, I know it’s overcooked. You might ask why? Well, it’s because my two favourite...

Gambian Chicken Yassa

Posted By: Gastrogirl, 13th January 2012, in Dinner a Deux, Feeding Families, Recipes, Student Corner, Weekly Favourites
A little while ago I went on holidays. Yep, the first holiday longer than four days in three years, so we said we’d be a little adventurous. However, needless to say our budget and our aspirations were very far away from each other. Into the breach stepped @Gastromama, who is...

Posted By: Gastrogirl, 11th January 2012, in Dinner a Deux, Feeding Families, Recipes, Student Corner, Weekly Favourites
Well I finally have my new kitchen. And new house. And new mortgage, and new bills, and new government charges, but  we'll concentrate on the good news :) When the champagne prosecco (it is 2012 after all) bottles finally went in the bin, the wobbly Christmas tree came...
