I am going to come clean here, this recipe started out as a duck salad. I have come love duck in recent years, from Peking to confit, I am an unabashed fan. Up until I developed this recipe I believed that there was no food that could not be adapted to have a regular place [...]

So it’s been a while since I posted a new recipe and it is simply a case of life getting in the way of doing what I love. Unfortunately I have this lovely little diversion called a job, and I need to keep that job to support my addiction to eating. So I needed to [...]

Recipe: Turkey Meatloaf

I love meatloaf. I particularly love it with garlic mashed potatoes with a little cream cheese included in mashing. However, as that doesn’t quite fit with the low calorie idea, so perhaps try a salad. Turkey is a great substitute for beef in a meatloaf, but you need to be sure that you don’t overcook [...]

If you have never been to a Chinese supermarket do yourself a favour and go. As a white Anglo Saxon, I will admit they can be a little daunting at first, but they are truly fabulous places to shop. I buy all manner of sauces and spices that I have no idea what they are, [...]

The simple version of this dish is a bit of a cheat really because it is really mix, coat, and bake. But then, let’s face it, midweek that is about all most of us want to do anyway. This BBQ sauce can be used on chicken, fish (but I would use a strong flavoured fish) [...]

This dish lends itself to the kind of meal where you have platters full if wonderful food on the table and everyone helps themselves. It also it great if you serve it with either pita bread or tortillas and lots of fresh vegetables (adding the calories of course). That way everyone can fill their pitas [...]

If you are not a fan of spicy food you can half the amount of the chipotle peppers in this dish, but I would suggest that you leave some in. These peppers are quite mild and give a lovely smoky flavour to these burritos. At the very least serve them with the chipotle mayonnaise, which [...]

I generally go for big flavour in my recipes, so this one is unusual for me because it is quite subtle. It is still a wonderful dish and the element of it that appeals to my husband the most, is that because it is so low in fat and calories, he can have double helpings. [...]
