Fancy potato salad as a meal

Snapper with broadbeans and spanish style sauce
Well. I’ve returned safely albeit a little dusty from Burning Man in the Blackrock Desert in Nevada and my need for good healthy homecooked food is great. Home cooked meal number one for me was Kangaroo steak with sweet potato mash which I have posted before. Great home coming feast. Spanish Style sauce ingredients for…

Recently though I’ve been interested in learning more about different styles of chinese cooking. I’d like to make some fresh and interesting things steering clear of sweet and sour…
The humble brussel sprout
Hated vegetable of the masses how we have embraced thee. I know a very large number of people have terrible memories of being force fed watery bitter brussel sprouts as children. I’m here to tell you that the memories will fade after trying this delicious recipe. I know my mum used to try and disguise…
More breakfast potato
I seem to be on weekend morning kitchen duty at the moment. Saturday saw us have home made hash browns, boiled eggs and grilled tomato. For home made hash browns simply grate potato, form into evenly sized piles and drop into very hot sunflower oil, cooking until golden brown. Enjoy!
