Last week I found out that due to an injury on my shoulder playing hockey in November, I’m required to have surgery.  The surgery will mean that I’m out of action for work and sport.  I could be out of sport for 6-9 months, which is quite scary! My arm is in a sling for [...]

This recipe here was made up after not knowing what I was going to have for tea.

It was only a few years ago when Le [...]

I have the sachets of quick microwave rice dishes to thank for this simple and easy risotto meal today.  The risotto is half cooked already and on the back of the packaging has a recipe to make a simple risotto in ten minutes in the pot.  Whilst I didn’t want the recipe on the back, [...]

The silly season has arrived and it also means less time cooking and more time eating out, meeting and catching up with old friends, celebrating a new year arriving and the old year gone.
With this, the regular posts won’t be three new recipes each week, but I’ll try to do some weekly updates for the [...]
