This is simply cauliflower cheese with mashed potato and cheese on top, then baked in the oven. I used the BBC Good Food Cauliflower Cheese recipe (halved to serve 3), forked some mashed potato that we had leftover from the night before on top of it, covered it in grated cheese and baked in the [...]

While making tonight’s dinner, I sliced one finger on the mandolin while getting it out of the cupboard, poured boiling water on another finger and burnt my other hand on the oven. The food had better be worth all this pain, I thought. It was. You can see the recipe on the BBC Good Food [...]

I think I’ve made the perfect soup. Or is it just that you can’t go wrong if you add chilli and cheese to everything? Either way, this soup was amazing. No exact quantities, it was a chuck it in the pan with some stock and see what happens kind of soup.  Spicy potato and cabbage [...]

A recipe containing leeks and potatoes cooked in cream, milk and cheese can’t go wrong, can it? No, it can’t. It got a rating of ‘yum’ by [...]

Today’s veg box arrived containing a cabbage and potatoes. Luckily enough, Leith’s Vegetarian Bible had a recipe containing both cabbage and potatoes and as it involved cooking it in garlic, double cream and cheese I thought that sounded like a winner. And it was, as The Meat Eater declared it ‘very yum’ and gave me [...]

I asked The Meat Eater to get me some potatoes from the supermarket.   I didn’t write down exactly the type of potato I wanted as I just wanted one large-ish potato and wasn’t really bothered which type and the only type I didn’t want and didn’t expect him to buy was new potatoes.  So he [...]

Another BBC Good Food recipe.  The Meat Eater said, after two forkfuls, that if I made this for him every night, he’d marry me.  I’m not sure if that’s reward or punishment? Hmm.
