One word. Fritters.
Working last weekend thrwe my week into complete havoc. Not being able to get to the farmer’s market meant going to a green grocers on Thursday after the supermarket. Aside from the horridness of the greengrocer when I am used to the greengrocers, I’ve had to stretch my fruit and vegetables further as [...]

Good old December knows how to throw her weight aound doesn’t she? Its only the third and my schedule is in complete disarray. So much so in fact that the entire concet of dinner did not enter my mind until after 4pm this afternoon. We generally eat at 5 (Anke Biter time) so this was [...]

I love Cup Day. There is nothing as ludicrous as a public holiday for a horse race and I love it. We totally dropped the ball on organising anything this year but fortunately we have friends who are just as slack. So an impromptu BBQ was planned at 8.30 this morning.
I had defrosted some wonderful [...]

Broad Beans would be so tiresome if they were in season all year round. Removing the pods, cooking, skinning. It’s a fair bit of work. Something I’m more than happy to do in spring when they’re in season to experience their fleeting deliciousness.

Today was 30 degrees. That’s 86 if you speak Farenheit. It’s going to be a long hot summer.
Which prompted me to make a summery meal. Well that and the fact that I had nothing planned, some scraps that needed using, lunches to make, no bread and not a lot of time on my hands. Want [...]

I absolutely had to finish that colcannon tonight. I don’t like the way potato freezes. Plus I have a strange aversion to serving up leftovers in their original state. So I needed an idea that would work well with a potato mash, bearing in mind I made a potato dough with some yesterday.
That left either [...]

No idea what is going on at Chez KP at the moment but I have odds and ends of leftovers everywhere. If not strictly leftovers, it’s bits and pieces that need using urgently so as to be wasted. So creativity is required.
Last night I decided to finish some leftover cooked sausages, leftover colcannon, some mushrooms [...]

Lordy me 4.3kg of meat goes a looonngg way. So far we’ve had the original dinner, two lunches and dinner again tonight. We still have lots to get through. That’s OK, the trick is being creative. Tonight was a master stroke of genius.
One thing the Bread Winner can eat is truly frightening proportions is nachos. [...]
