Slow Cooker Beef in Red Wine

Beef, cooked in red wine, with a touch of rosemary until it’s meltingly soft. Simple ingredients but flavours that are rich and deep… I’ve been meaning to post this recipe since before Christmas but I kept making it and then eating it all before I remembered to take a photo! It’s one of those magical […]

Chinese Salmon and Crispy Kale

Sweet and salty, crispy seaweed stylee kale and succulent, pink, salmon with just a hint of the orient. A Chinese whisper if you will.. I’ve always loved the Crispy Seaweed that you get at the Chinese. I think it’s the combination of sweet and salty along with that satisfying crunch – plus hey, it’s one of […]

Colette’s Kitchen Favourites: January

Those of you who have read my monthly posts on seasonal foods will know that I’m a big fan of eating food when it is at its freshest and best – that is to say, when it’s in season. This year, more for my own interest than anything else, I’ve started to keep a food diary, recording […]

Chicken & Vegetable Broth

Get your glow back with a bowlful of this Chicken & Vegetable Broth. Bitefuls of carrot and swede, the occasional satisfying pop of a pea, chicken that’s fallen from the bone and glistening pearl barley… You know that feeling when you’ve been out in the sunshine all day and you feel all glowing and full […]

Recipe: Winter Vegetable Soup & Cheese & Rosemary Toasts

I love this soup! It’s incredibly simple, incredibly cheap and incredibly tasty. Picture a cold, winter’s day and you’ve just come inside after taking the kids to the park. Everyone’s noses are red and everyone’s tummies are rumbling. Luckily, you have a few bits of old, rather sorry for itself veg that needs using up! […]

Recipe: Mulled Cider

Come Christmas time, I welcome pretty much any drink if it’s mulled. Nothing beats browsing round one of the many Christmas markets and then stopping for a warming, sweet, spiced mulled wine or cider. Holding the glass (or plastic cup as the case may be) warms your hands and the drink itself leaves you with […]

What’s in season in December?

Well another break in posting, again due to illness in the family. This time not me but my Mum. So this one’s for you Mum – get better soon! Judging by the food that’s in season in December, I think it’s fairly obvious that Christmas is on the way! Fruit & Veg in season in […]

Recipe: ‘Harty’ Venison Casserole

Venison Virgin While writing last week’s post about what’s coming into season in November, it occurred to me that I had never actually cooked with venison before and that it’s possibly rather hypocritical of me to be suggesting that others do what I haven’t! So this weekend, I gave it a go. After a week of various […]

Roasted Vegetable & Bulgur Wheat Winter Salad

Recipe: Winter Salad of Roasted Vegetables & Bulgur Wheat

The perfect weekday work lunch I came up with this recipe in an attempt to use up some veg that was starting to look a bit sorry for itself. I had no intention of using it for the blog but frankly, it’s just so good, I had to share it! I’ve made enough to give […]
