It was so warm on Monday morning that I had my morning cup of tea in the sun and it was bliss. It has been such a long cold winter, I felt like a cave creature that had just crawled out of the darkness - pasty and squinty-eyed in the bright pure sun. I know [...]

Jacqueline posted last week about her Pauper’s Pizza: a bit of a coincidence, as I have another quick and easy alternative to pizza to share.  This one is similarly hassle-free to make, and is particularly good if you’re craving pizza but don’t want to be too unhealthy - it’s basically a pizza with a tortilla [...]

Pauper’s Pizza

Posted by: jacqueline in: Credit Crunch | Light Meals | Recipes

The other day I came home from work and looked in the fridge. I had nothing to eat. NOTHING. And my pay cheque is not due for another week. I was really hungry. After sitting on the sofa for a full ten-minute huff, I went back to the fridge and looked again. There must be [...]

Dunnes are doing a great deal on organic chicken wings at the moment. For €4.99 there are enough wings for three to four people and married with a blue cheese dressing, this is one tasty dish.

All-purpose potato cake

I’m in Italy at the minute, and I’m eating so well. We all know the food is good in Italy. But the prices! I’m in the mountains of Tuscany, where workers and wives alike can pick up a fabulous three-course lunch for less than a tenner.
Yesterday, I ate a gorgeous barley minestrone, followed by sliced [...]

I was in Egypt a few years ago and thought the food was very good indeed. For some of the time, I stayed with a family so I got to  experience some Egyptian takes on some of my favourite dishes.
As a big fan of Kofta I was in heaven but it was the falafel that [...]

Lovely Leftovers

Posted by: jacqueline in: Leftovers | Light Meals | Lunchtime | Main Meals | Recipes

This is just one of infinite ways to use up your leftover chicken, which I will sporadically update you with. The whole chicken thing is my saviour at the minute; I can literally eke it out for three days, for me, my partner and 11-year-old stepdaughter.
One thing I do splash out on in the first [...]
