The lazy man will be content with beans on toast; he may even attempt to microwave that five-minute frozen meal. But every once in a while inspiration will enter the mind and the result is a mind-blowing tasty invention that will ...  Read the complete review

No - don't get cross with me! I'm the lazy so-and-so - I am not saying any of you fine folks are. But I AM lazy. I like cooking dinners that can be cooked in one or two pans.

I call this ‘Dinner for the workers’ because after a 10 hour shift, both hubby and I are usually starving and don’t feel like slaving over a hot stove. Now we could use the local takeaways, of which there are plenty, but there is only so much take away a person can stomach. Its basically ‘Sheppard’s ...  Read the complete review

You've read my receipts before haven't you? Some of them have even been crowned, y'know! You know that I'm a bloke who likes to cook occasionally, when time and shifts permit and also when the inclination propels me.

I have to admit that I am not a fan of roast lamb at all, but I do enjoy the odd lamb cutlet, or chop. There are a number of ways in which to cook these. Here are a few of my favourites. In all cases, I suggest that, prior to beginning the recipes, you trim as much fat off the chops as possible, and either grill or dry roast on a rack in ...  Read the complete review

Some people like meat, some don't. Some eat it, some choose not to. Jackdaws love my big Sphinx of quartz, but that is of course up to the individual jackdaw, I would never force them to love it just as I would never force anyone to eat meat. Please don't give me all of the veggie propaganda, if you are veggie you shouldn't be ...  Read the complete review
