Messed About Chicken

Posted on March 3, 2013January 18, 2017 by Shevdon

Someone close to me once said that they like Roast Chicken, but they don’t like it messed about. That’s fine, but unless you get a really good chicken they can taste a bit bland and dry. Personally, I like my chicken messed about with, so here’s a recipe for that. Ingredients One medium-sized chicken Two…

Recipe: Crispy Pork with Sweet and Sour Pineapple

Posted on December 11, 2012January 18, 2017 by Shevdon

Sweet and Sour is all about contrasts, and this recipe has lots of them. The pork has a firm meaty texture, complimented by a crispy coating with herb notes, while the sauce balances sweetness against acid, without the overpowering cloy of commercial sauces which, for me, are always more sweet than sour. It also looks…

Recipe: Leafy Minced Beef Pie

Posted on June 5, 2012January 18, 2017 by Shevdon

There are few things as comforting as pie, but many people shy away from pies as  difficult dishes to make. Pastry can seem a bit daunting to begin with, and quite fiddly, but it needn’t be, and a home-made pie can be one of the most rewarding dishes to make. You will need some tools…

As with so many fish recipes, it’s simple and quick and involves minimal messing about with good ingredients. Take one medium sized Mackerel per person, and take…

Recipe: Tyropitta – Greek Cheese Pies

Posted on March 4, 2012January 18, 2017 by Shevdon

I love Greece. I know they are going through a terrible economic time at the moment, and they have become Europe’s examplar for how things can go fiscally wrong, but you have to understand – like other countries involved in the financial crisis, the average Greek had absolutely nothing to do with it. They are…

Recipe: Winter BBQ Bream

Posted on February 19, 2012January 18, 2017 by Shevdon

I’m a great lover of outdoor cookery but England isn’t the best place for it. Unfortunately we are not famous for barbecue summers. It doesn’t mean we have to miss out entirely, though. We can still have the spirit, if not exactly the experience of the barbecue in January. In this case the oven is our friend,…
