I haven’t always liked fennel, it’s a very distinct flavour. If you don’t like licorice or anise, then fennel is not going to be to your liking. But, it is a delicious vegetable that should be given a chance. The orange and fennel perfectly complement each other, sweet and savoury blending well together. This is…

Recipes using poultry such as chicken, duck and turkey.
Slow Cooker Tomato Chicken
My slow cooker hasn’t had much use recently, and the with the need to practice social distancing, prepping things that will cook during the day while I crack on with working from home. With shops being cleared out with panic buyers around the world, this recipe makes use of things you probably already have at…
White Chicken Chilli
I’ve been eating a lot of chicken, mainly due to the fact that it’s a very diverse source of protein, and not expensive to get hold of. In this time of panic-buying shoppers who seem intent on clearing out the shelves of everything every day, I’ve been looking to try and use things I have…
Chipotle Chicken Fajitas
Some of you might know that I’ve recently been working on a healthier lifestyle, making sure that I fuel my body with the right nutrients for Strongman, while also getting a bit leaner. Because of this, I have been making very basic meals just to make sure that I’m getting the right calories, etc. That…
Coconut Curry Chicken
Sometimes you just need an easy meal that doesn’t require too much effort or preparation. This meal came about because I had some coconut yoghurt that needed using up along with some chicken thighs. You will need to allow the chicken to marinade, but that would be the hardest part. If you want to add…
Peri-Peri Roast Chicken
Not everyone can fit a turkey in their oven, including me. My oven is a counter-top convection oven, and a whole turkey would just not fit in my 30cm wide oven. So, sometimes we turn to smaller poultry for our Christmas/holiday dinners (and yes, buying a fully roasted turkey is possible, but anyway). This roast…
Macadamia-Crusted Chicken Tenders
If you’ve watched season 3 of Queer Eye (the re-vamped Netflix version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) then you know where the inspiration for this dish comes from. If you haven’t watched it, and you like watching people get their houses, wardrobes, and lives given new life by five gay men, then you…
Orange Duck with Port
It’s not often that I cook with duck, despite it featuring in a recipe post over the summer (thanks to my mum). But when I saw duck breast at Bones and Blades, I just had to get some. It’s an expensive cut of meat, and so it really was a treat to try out this…
Sun-dried Tomato Coconut Chicken
I bought my skillet over the Christmas holidays and didn’t start using it until a few weeks ago. Well, now it’s my most used cookware item, and I’m thinking of buying another one so that I can have one for skillet-based desserts. I’m so glad I was able to find a skillet that was small…
Leftover Turkey Sandwich
You know the drill. The leftovers from Christmas dinner get separated into various containers, and put in the fridge. The carcass goes into the freezer, or immediately into a large pot of water to make stock. The discussion begins about what to make with the leftovers. There’s always the classics: turkey soup, turkey curry, or…
Homemade Stock
I always loved how convenient stock cubes were: just add to boiling water, stir, and use. But, there’s just nothing quite like homemade stock or broth, especially when you eat as many vegetables as I do. What do you do with your veggie scraps? Unless you have a compost, my bet is they get thrown out…
Lime & Garlic Chicken with Avocado
It’s been a while since I’ve done a recipe from my mum’s magazine clippings, so it was long overdue! This is a recipe I’ve always been intrigued by, because I love avocado and chicken (and lime and garlic). And while it’s meant to be a barbecue recipe, I baked it in the oven, and it…
