Easy chicken satay. To serve 4 people as a starter you will need two large chicken breasts , mild curry powder 2 tablespoons , dark soy sauce 2 tablespoons 1 inch grated ginger or a teaspoon of dried ginger a can of coconut milk, chili powder or fresh chopped red chili ( use to what spice level you like or leave out if you dont like it) vegetable oil one tablespoon. Salt adjust to taste. Cornflour 1 tablespoon. Two tablespoons of sugar. Four table spoons of crunchy peanut butter. For the chicken cut the breaststroke into long thin strips. In a bowl use one tablespoons soy sauce the vegetable oil one tablespoon mild curry powder and chili I'd say half a teaspoon which is what I use. And a tablespoon of sugar. Mix well and leave for an hour before putting on skewers. For the sauce in a saucepan put the peanut butter coconut milk and the remaining ingredients apart from the cornflour and bring to the boil stirring continuously. Reduce to a simmer and add the cornflour, stir until thick and take of the heat. Grill or bbq your skewers until cook. As a guide its five minutes each side. I serve mine with dried onion and pickled salad cucumber tomato and onion with red wine vinegar sugar and green chili. Enjoy 😉

Liver... the "marmite" of meat. Here is how I make it. This does serve 8 people so half the measurements unless you want to freeze some or super hungry :-). I used 3 packets of sliced lambs liver. So about 1kg. Two small packets of bacon lardons two onions three oxo cubes two tablespoons of Worcester sauce salt pepper ( add according to your taste) two tablespoons plain flour and two tablespoons corn flour. One litre of water and sunflower oil to fry. I also used 4 mushrooms Photo 1. Trim any gristle off the liver. Photo 2 Then coat the liver with the plain flour. Photo 3 Fry the chopped onion and bacon bits in a little oil. Put into a casserole dish . Photo 4 lightly brown the flour coated liver then add to casserole dish. Photo 5 In a liter of boiling water crumble the stock cubes the Worcester sauce and add to the mix with chopped up mushrooms Put into the oven at 160 fan 180 normal. After 45 minutes check the taste add salt and pepper and if the mixture needs thickening in a small amount of cold water add the cornflour. Stir well. Cook for another 20 minutes... enjoy 😉

An old favourite and always goes down well when I make this. Pinapple upside down cake easy and very tasty. Lovely served warm with either ice cream or custard. Now how to make this.. you will need .200g self raising flour 200g caster sugar 200g stork or any other margarine 4 medium eggs 1 teaspoon of baking powder and one teaspoon of vanilla essence. Golden syrup tinned pinapple rings and glace cherries. Preheat your oven 180c normal 160c fan ...... In a large bowl beat the sugar eggs stork and vanilla essence together until smooth. When its smooth sift the flour and baking powder until well combined. Now get your cake tin and make sure you really grease it well. Place about half a centimetre of golden syrup on the bottom of the cake tin and arrange your pinapple and cherries in a pattern you like on top of this. Carefully plop your cake mix on the top being carefull not to mix the syrup into it and then place into your oven. Normally my cake is done after half an hour but all ovens vary so check at 25 mins by placing a knife into the cake if it comes our clean your done if not put it back and check after another 5 mins.. enjoy :-) please feel free to post any of your efforts on here .

Apologies for the less than excellent camera skills ( some of it will be horizontal so blame the camera lady) today I have made chicken curry. You can make this with prawns but add the prawns right at the last minute so they heat through 3 minutes is enough is using these.

So today we made stuffed vine leaves ( dolmades ) they take quite a while to make but taste much nicer than ready made ones you can buy once you get the knack of rolling them they are quite simple to master. So photo 1 is what ingredients I used the meat here is lean minced beef 500g you can use the same weight of minced lamb or quorn. I used fresh mint as could not find dried. Parsley is nice to use in this but I didn't have any. Cinnamon is the spice that sounds a weird thing to use bit really brings the flavour out. Photo 2 finely chop the three onions and three cloves of garlic and fry in a little olive oil. Make sure they go soft but not brown this should take a few minutes. Take off the heat and put in a bowl. Photo 3. Brown your mince/quorn and make sure no pinkness remains using the same pan that you fried the onions and garlic in. Then add the onions garlic and 200g of rice. I use really cheap long grain rice just dont use par boiled easy cooked rice of the dish will be rank. Photo 4 mix two tablespoons of tomatoe puree the same of cinnamon one tablespoon of dried dill the mint one teaspoon of black pepper and crumble two veggie oxo cubes into mix. Stir really well then add four tablespoons of lemon juice and a teaspoon of salt. Now as the mice is already cooked just taste the mix to see if it's well seasoned ( yes the rice will be a bit crunchy but the meat is cooked so its fine) you can also add a few chilled flakes if you like a bit of heat. Photo 5 rinse and drain your vine leaves I used two jars but you may have flat pack ones if you use this type you will need to boil them in water for a few minutes to soften. Place smooth side down with the veins upwards. Photo 6 place a tablespoon of the mix as shown. Video watch it to see me roll. Photo 7 get a helper to roll lots and place in a large tray as shown. Photo 8 make sure the leaves are tightly packed and put water in the pan to cover half the width of the leaves and then drizzle olive oil on the top. Photo 9 cover tightly with foil then place in an oven 180c for 45 minutes . Photo 10 enjoy :-)

Evening all :-) today I made a family favourite of mine onion bhajees some of you may have tried mine before so here is a step by step process with photos so in photo 1 are the ingredients I used. The flour is made from chick peas and may also be called gram flour ( wheat flour wont work but I managed to find this in my local Tescos and Morrison's) you can use normal salt I like the red spicy salt as my two can take spice. You can also leave out the chilli flakes if you want a milder bhajee. So peel and slice the onions as finely as you can I leave some longer slices and some chopped to make the bhajees a bit easier to form. Photo 2 Peel and grate the potato and add to onions. Add the spices and salt ( I also found some frozen coriander and added this but again some people don't like this or may not have it available) mix really well and leave for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes the salt will have drawn out some of the juices from the onion and given the spices time to flavour them. Now try one of the onion pieces and see if any more flavouring is needed though bear in mind that once the flour is added it will tone down a bit. Photo 3 add approx 100g of the flour to the mix and mix well until the mix is covered then add a bit of water and stir. Add more flour if needed the consistency you want is that a spoon cam stand up in the mix. Photo 4 I have a small deep fat fryer and used sunflower oil and heated till ready though a deep frying pan with an inch deep of oil will also do this is how I normally do it and this way you get a nice flat bhajee . Using two spoons spoon a ball of the mix into the fat and fry until golden if using a frying pan you will have to turn them. Photos 5 and 6 put on a plate with kitchen roll to soak up some of the fat. I served with lemon and mint yogurt sauce ( this is easy you need low fat yoghurt turmeric pepper spoonful of mint sauce and spoon full of sugar) try them :-)

Bit of a lazy cook up as have no yeast at the moment as would have made my pizza dough in the bread maker so I used ready roll out pizza dough from Aldi ( 89p). Though I did make the tomato base so here is what I used and it was more than enough for two bases and the rest I have frozen. So you need one tin of chopped tomatoes three tablespoons of tomato puree two tables spoons of dried oregano four cloves of garlic or use two teaspoons of dried garlic tablespoon of black pepper teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of Worcester sauce. Blend all of this in a blender. Preheat the oven to 200c spread tomato mix on base then add toppings of your choice but make sure you leave the cheese till last. For our pizza ( kids choice we used fresh sliced mozzarella grated mozzarella black olives chopped onion sliced green pepper fresh tomato chopped ham and drained tuna in brine but use whatever you like. The dough we had came on baking paper so pur this on a tin and bake for 10 minutes (fan oven) 13 in a conventional oven... nice ;-)

Ok here is my page and my first recipie is scotch eggs.. I am fussy and don't like shop bought ones and prefer them warm though these will store for two days in a fridge once cooked..so I cooked six eggs though make sure you take them out of the fridge half an hour before you boil them.. boil up some water in a pan and then add the eggs cook for five minutes take off the heat and run the pan under cold water for a few minutes. Drain then peel the eggs. Set aside and rinse to get rid of any shell. For what I cooked I used 7 Cumberland sausages that I squeezed out of their skin but you can use sausage meat about 300g this is a guide. If using sausage meat you may want to up the use of seasoning. You will also need about 100g of golden breadcrumbs 50g plain flour and a beaten egg. You can use any seasoning you like to add taste to the sausage meat I used 2 teaspoons of dried parsley one 1 teaspoon of dried parsley one teaspoon of nutmeg and a teaspoon of salt and black pepper and I also used a teaspoon of ground cumin but that's just my taste . Mix all the sausage meat together and put in a bowl. Again put all the rest of the ingredients in a bowl see photo 1 . ( make sure you have a big bowl of soapy water ready your hands will need to be rinsed a good few times) Flour a chopping board then roll six balls picture 1 of your sausage mixture and place on board. Flatten each ball. See picture 2 roll your egg in flour and place sausage mixture around it. Shape it so no egg shows through the sausage coat.Dip in egg mixture picture 3 the roll in bread crumbs picture 4. There are two ways to cook this. I have a mini fryer so if you have a deep fat fryer cook on a medium heat for 4 minutes and drain on kitchen paper..the next method is heat 1 inch of oil in a frying pan fry until golden on each side until all done then place in a hot oven (200c) (180c fan) for 7 minutes. ( I did the first method before today and turns out as good ) enjoy:-)
