Spicy Prawn and Coconut Noodle recipe with Coriander and Ginger: Dieting in the summer is so much easier – somehow as the nights close in and the temperature drops, our minds turn to sticky toffee pudding, sausages and mash and delicious calorific food that really doesn’t work on a fast day. But, despair not. There […]
A More Mindful Diet with the Mindful Chef
Lemongrass trout with coconut lime rice recipe: As a keen cook who lives by herself, I never really considered recipe boxes. But, as it happens, The Mindful Chef does have recipe boxes for one. I believe they are the only recipe box company that offers boxes for a single person – so, I was able […]
The Mindful Chef – Red Pesto Fish Skewers
Healthy Food to Cook at Home – the Mindful Chef Red Pesto Fish Skewers: I love the idea of recipe boxes as a way of inspiring people to cook new dishes. There are various bits of research which suggest most of us never cook more than 9 recipes on a regular basis. Think about it. […]
Low Calorie Miso Glazed Black Cod and More
Two Low-Calorie Healthy Ideas for Alaskan Black Cod For years I thought black cod was the same fish that I buy from the supermarket to make fish pie or fish and chips. Perhaps better sourced, perhaps better cooked. I’ve eaten miso glazed black cod in some of London’s top restaurants. And, I just thought that […]
Rosemary Cured Alaskan Pollock with Tomatoes
Alaskan Seafood – Rosemary Cured Pollock with Tomatoes: Curing fish is one of those strange cheffy things I’m only just learning how to do. Of course, I’ve eaten cured fish for ages – mostly in the form of gravadlax, which is salmon cured with dill, salt and sugar. But, it wasn’t until I noticed a […]
Wild Salmon with Dill Cream Sauce
Alaskan Wild Salmon with Dill Cream Sauce: Have you ever wondered about that deep red salmon you sometimes see in the supermarket? For whatever reason, I thought ‘sockeye’ referred to the cut rather than to a particular type of salmon. In fact, it’s a particular type of salmon – one of five found wild in […]
Easy Cooking with Fish – Kedgeree
Easy Fish Dishes – Kedgeree It always surprises me how much I enjoy Kedgeree. Since I’m not usually a fan of eggs in any format, this concoction of rice, fish and boiled eggs doesn’t seem like a natural. But, somehow Kedgeree without egg just wouldn’t work. Even for me. It’s actually a recipe which lends […]
Skrei – Three Recipes To Cook the Finest Cod
Skrei – The Finest Cod from Norway: I first heard of Skrei a few years ago – but really didn’t know what it was. It sounded like the sort of thing that might appear in a Foodie pub quiz or something similar and I am sure if I’d been given a multiple choice at that […]
Cod with Fennel and Tomatoes – 5:2 Diet Recipe
Low-Calorie 5:2 Diet Supper – Cod with Fennel and Tomatoes: I always seem to end up on a diet in January. This year I’m trying a slightly new approach, though still based on the 5:2 diet, which worked VERY well for me last year until I went on a few gastronomy trips. I’m trying to […]
Easy Bouillabaisse Recipe at Kitchen Aid Cookery School
Playing Chef in the Kitchen – Bouillabaisse with Kitchen Aid: Like most people I am a real fan of Kitchen Aid small kitchen appliances – mixers, blenders and multicookers. What I didn’t realise, until I was invited along to the Kitchen Aid store on Wigmore Street was that they also make large kitchen appliances (hobs, […]
