“The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude.” ― Julia Child

10 years ago I didn't like to boil water just in case it got burnt! Years of living on my own didn't inspire me to pick up a pan and a cookbook. However, as my family grew, my cooking skills had to as well. Now I'm not scared of boiling anything! Having said that I still like recipes that are easy, straight-forward, quick, but very very tasty.

Chicken tikka masala

Chicken tikka masala

By Julie Williams on 4 September, 2012

Curry is one of my favourite dishes, and this is a way of making one that is SO quick and easy. Use any meat and type of curry. I have used Quorn pieces in this one – I find it makes the dish even more delicious than using chicken.

Beer-soaked baked chips

By Julie Williams on 18 February, 2012

I have seen so many recipes on the internet for beer soaked fries. It sounds like it doesn’t work, but from all the comments – I just had to try it. I was dubious, but they did taste great and they were so easy to make. Think it is time I abandoned using oven chips, [...]

Chicken Nuggets

Chicken Nuggets

By Julie Williams on 16 February, 2012

I’m not sure which part of a chicken is a nugget, well in this case it is the breast. So much better and tastier than fast food versions. My 5 year old son, said they were, “Yuuuummmmmmmy” and that is high praise indeed as he is a chicken nugget connoisseur. Great for kids and adults [...]

Vegetable patties

Vegetable patties

By Julie Williams on 14 February, 2012

This was my first attempt at making vegetable patties, and even if I say so myself they were delicious. Next time I will add tuna, or maybe some almonds.

Beef in ale stew

Beef in ale stew

By Julie Williams on 9 February, 2012

A delicious warming Winter stew. Easy to make and leave in a moderate oven to cook to perfection. The slow cooking helps the meat become tender and just melt in the mouth.

Chicken with teriyaki style sauce

Chicken with teriyaki style sauce

By Julie Williams on 7 February, 2012

I don’t use a traditional Teriyaki sauce for this recipe, more one inspired by it. No ginger, no honey, but a wonderful, dark yet sweet sticky sauce.

This dish tastes as good as it looks. Plus it’s easy to make a version for kids that don’t like the tomato and onion (like mine).
