Book Review: A Modern Way to Eat by Anna Jones
As a vegetarian of 20+ years, and *ahem* cookbook hoarder of 10+ years, I already own quite a few Vegetarian cookbooks. What drew me to pick this one was that it seemed to be similar in style to another series of vegetarian cook books that I like by Heidi Swanson. The book itself is beautiful […]
Chickpea and Spinach Pie
My old job was located right in Bristol city centre. Close proximity to all kinds of tasty foodstuffs, including the joy of Pieminister Mothership Tuesdays, Pippin doughnut Fridays, and a little place called Royce Rolls, which was just inside St Nick’s Market, and sold super tasty flapjacks sarnies and bits of pastry. This is my […]
An Indian Burrito: Chapati filled with curry and rice.
Last weekend when my Mum was here, I took the opportunity to try out a couple of recipes from a fairly new book that I hadn’t quite got around to trying yet. The book is Prashad by Kaushy Patel, and it was another book that The Book People had brought into work. I wasn’t planning […]
Kirby Style Comfort Food: Jolly Cakes
In this house, when people come to visit and have a Marsh breakfast, generally Mr M makes the full works. I’m actually not a fan. My favourite thing for breakfast is one of those family recipes where no one is really sure where it came from, but is a well-loved standby when you need something […]
Thai Spiced Butternut Squash Soup
The weather. It has turned. I was working last night, and it was cold, drizzly, and horrible. It was also quite busy, and I didn’t get a lot of sleep. So today has been a bad day, in all kinds of ways. But rather than go into all of them, I’m going to share with […]
Cheese and Thyme Pretzels
A couple of weeks ago I saw a post about homemade soft pretzels on Diary of a Mad Crafter and decided I sooo wanted to make me some of them! I then semi forgot about them again until my friend brought in a giant soft pretzel to work (yes, soft pretzels have made it to […]
Rose Elliot’s Mediterranean Barley Risotto
I did mean to make this yesterday… but time sort of got away from me, and I was completing my Star Wars education by watching Return of the Jedi…. Yes, up until this last week (when I bought Mr M the complete saga on Bluray), I had never seen Star Wars…. This was a recipe […]
Spicy Vegetable and Quinoa Laksa
Another lazy person dish, when you don’t want to cook something too involved, or don’t have time to go to the supermarket. It once again uses the good old frozen mixed vegetables, if you were super keen then of course fresh would be ace, and any combination is just dandy. It also comes from a […]
Homity Pie – Pieminister style
Another book that has been languishing on my bookshelves for a while, is the book of that beloved Bristol institution… Pieminister. It is a happy Friday when it is a Pie-day, and with the Stokes Croft shop being within walking distance of the hospital…… So I decided that this weekend was the weekend to change […]
Vegetable and Smoked Tofu rice.
When you’ve had a long day, and are super tired having been called out to work in the middle of the night, you really need something quick, simple, easy, and tasty. And to be able to cheat massively while making it. This was inspired by some smoked tofu I spotted while shopping on Saturday: ..and […]
