Almond Chocolate Cup-Cakes
One of the best things about Slimming World (aside from mountains of nommy food and the best cross trainer workouts) is…nommy desserts that they give you in the magazines. The other night I had a real craving for chocolate cake and thankfully had ripped this recipe out of the Slimming World magazine for future reference.… Read the rest
Baked KFC Style Chicken
Driving home one night I suddenly had a random thought about making baked KFC chicken, and when I last did it was SUCH a success. Garry recently said to me that this is the best thing I’ve cooked in a long while, and “considering almost everything you cook is delicious that’s saying something”
Let’s back up a bit.… Read the rest
Beef and bacon pie
This post is sponsored by Sky, but still has a bloody AMAZING recipe for beef and bacon pie in it and halfway through I somehow switch to the voice of a cook from Winterfell, so I thoroughly recommend you keep reading it anyway.… Read the rest
Mac ‘n’ cheese pie
Recently, Alex and I went to Edinburgh to film some comedians for work. Here we are working very, very hard.
Whilst we were there, she mentioned that apparently in Scotland you can get a mac ‘n’ cheese pie. I bloody love mac ‘n’ cheese, as the many recipes for it on this website shows, and the idea of taking something that’s already delicious and putting it in a pie was too good to resist.… Read the rest
Leek and Mango Sausage Bites
Yeah, there aren’t any brilliant photos of these because almost as soon as I’d finished making them they had been eaten. They are seriously delicious.
Anyway. You know that website I edit, Kitchen Bitching? Well, recently we were sent a press release about the Spring-A-Leek competition.… Read the rest
Riverford vegetarian quick box: Review
Just before I was about to move flat, Riverford contacted me and asked if I’d like to try a free sample of their vegetarian quick veg box and do an honest review. I have always wanted to try a veg box but never quite been brave enough to go for it, and considering it had everything in it for two meals for two people I thought it’d be good to cook when we were still in a new flat and still getting sorted.… Read the rest

Balsamic Chicken and Paprika Potatoes
Another recipe that’s perfect for Saturday night, when you want something that tastes like a takeaway or a restaurant meal but that’s still healthy. This one is from the Slimming World magazine, and I’ve only made it once. Thinking back, I can’t understand why.… Read the rest
Baked Sea Bass with Peppers
In my search for ways to eat fish that don’t make me want to gag, I’m finding quite a few recipes that aren’t just edible but that are utterly fantastic. This is one of these recipes.
It takes about an hour to cook but only ten minutes to prepare — you just have to bung everything in a pan and then in the oven.… Read the rest
Bacon and Mushroom Quiche
After months of hearty meals with potato and veg, this marked my first venture into what might be classed as slightly posh cooking.
Yes, cooking a quiche is posh where I come from. Let’s accept that and move on.
It’s another Slimming World recipe, but it was utterly delicious.… Read the rest
