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 […]

Low Calorie Chilli Con Carne with Cauli Rice for the 5:2 Diet
Spicing it up with a low-calorie Chilli Con Carne Recipe: I’m trying my best to lose a bit of weight again – and back doing the 5:2 diet. Being sent a pack of meats from West Coast Foods which are part of their Skinni range and are very low fat is quite a help. I’ve […]
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 Chicken Stir Fry – a 5:2 Diet Recipe
Healthy Chicken Stirfry – Low-Calorie Recipe: I’m happily back doing the 5:2 diet to try and lose a little weight. While I never put back on everything I lost in the last round, I did start (about 3 weeks ago) with 10kg to get back to my target weight of around 60kg (for those using […]
Rosemary Cured Alaskan Pollock with Tomatoes

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 […]
Celebrating My Mother – #ThanksMum.
Mother’s Day Retrospective: This time of year is hard for those of us who have lost their mothers and yet don’t have children of their own. The shops and restaurants are full of things for Mothering Sunday and I get slightly overwhelmed by enquiries about what I will be covering here on London-Unattached. Will there […]
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 […]
