You know how sometimes, you just feel like a hot dog or four? It’s nice when you can cycle down to the shops and get the ingredients to fulfil that craving right away. I never buy hot dogs – they’re not all that readily available as fast food, being much more of an American thing.…

I love quiche, but can rarely be bothered to make pastry to accompany it, so an egg slice is a nice easy compromise. This is the first recipe in here that I’ve invented myself, judging amounts roughly from the times I’ve made similar dishes from recipes. It worked out perfectly – extremely simple, incredibly fast…

This is another recipe from Angela (stolen from her ex-husband) which she said I had to try as it produced the most amazingly tender ribs. I don’t actually like pork much – I like ham and bacon, but don’t enjoy pork roast or chops at all. But I remember enjoying spare ribs when I was…

This is a delicious recipe from The Daily Bread, which I’ve altered a little, and renamed. It’s a very garlicky pasta dish, and is also fairly oily – in a lovely way, but it mightn’t suit delicate stomachs. Good both warm and cold, this is a wonderfully versatile dish. I can foresee it appearing in…

This is the first time I’ve attempted to make cannelloni, and I decided to try after reading a recipe of Rick Stein’s, which this recipe has been rather loosely adapted from. It’s an easy recipe, using fresh lasagne sheets to roll up the filling – very cheesy and satisfying. It is fiddly, wrapping up each…
