Looks pretty, doesn’t it? If I do say so myself. But this dish is the culinary equivalent of Spanx. Takes something boring, lumpy and not quite up to scratch and transforms it into a red carpet beauty.
Yes, I’m comparing a dish to knickers. It must be the sun here...

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...

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...

merde. Suggest making pizza without cheese?

G’way and sh*te.
In short, it doesn’t work. However, I...

I’ve eaten enough calories this Sunday to warrant reigning it all the way back the whole week long. Hence fish parcels. These are great ways to cook an entire nutritious dinner in one little shiny silver packet. Or, baking paper if you’re more organised than my scatter-brained self. At...

Great lunchbox dish that only takes a couple of minutes to throw together and doesn't cost the earth. I made a big batch of this stuff and had it for lunch for about three days. Yes, the OH became concerned by the third day he'd turn into a noodle,...

If you like prawns, calamari, mussels, fish chunks and all the rest of the delights of the sea, this is one very cheap and very healthy dinner. It can be made in quite literally ten minutes, to be doled out into lunchboxes or kept in the fridge for supper.
