Homemade Easy Granola

December 11, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 14 Comments

Why bother making your own granola? I mean, the stuff that comes in a nice box all full of stuff can’t really be that different and making your own sounds like such a hassle right? Nope. As it turns out making your own is not only ridiculously easy but it’s so much tastier than anything I’ve tried pre-bought. I find the readymade ones are far too sweet and you spend every morning searching for the elusive hazelnuts you’re pretty sure are meant to be in there. With my homemade easy granola you make up your mind and decide exactly what goes in your breakfast. read more

Slojito

December 5, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 9 Comments

Slojito

I have been so busy this year that I have run out of time to make my own sloe gin. It’s not the end of the world though as I have some of last year’s stash left and once that’s gone there are some delicious ready steeped and drained sloe gins around. As much as I enjoy a classic sloe gin and tonic there’s much enjoyment to be had mixing up something different.

One place you can find some inspiration for new drinks to try is thebar. I found their recipe for a slojito and just had to give it a try! read more

Garlic and Honey Mushrooms

February 17, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 14 Comments

I went to Madrid last year in search of tapas, paella and Rioja and I was not disappointed. I think I ate more often each day I was there than anywhere else I can remember. If memory serves the meals were thus: breakfast, snack at lunch, late lunch, tapas then dinner. Amazing. It took some adjusting on the return home to get used to a mere three meals a day I can tell you. One of the most remarkable meals I had while there was at a roadside restaurant; the sun was going down, it was wonderfully warm and I was complemented on my excellent Spanish. I mean, I can’t be 100% sure the waiter said it was good but I like to think he did. The starter was translated on the menu as garlic and honey mushrooms and I thought I’d have a go at recreating it. read more

Coconut and Lime Biscuits

February 11, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 11 Comments

It’s February, apologies for stating the obvious. To me, February is the interim month; not as fresh as January when I’m enthusiastic about the New Year and not as good as March when you know that spring has pretty much arrived. So as far as I’m concerned February needs a bit of brightening up to get us all through the cold, grey days. That help can come in many forms; in this case coconut and lime biscuits. This particular flavour combination can transport you to a place of tropical tranquility and for a brief moment you can forget your February woes. *see below read more

Keema Rice

February 5, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 8 Comments

Keema Rice - All That I'm Eating (2 of 2)

I don’t know about you but during the week when it comes to cooking dinner I want something quick, easy and full of flavour. It’s also a winner if it’s cheap to make and uses up a few bits and bobs I have hanging around in the fridge too. Keema rice is one of my guilty pleasures; I love the heavily spiced lamb, golden onions and fragrant rice. I thought it was about time I attempted to make it at home.

You will need (for 4):

  • 250g easy cook, long grain rice  £0.35
  • 2 cloves  £0.02
  • 2 cardamom pods  £0.02
  • 1 bay leaf  £0.02
  • 300g lamb mince  £2.40
  • 1 small tin peas, drained  £0.30
  • 1 onion, finely chopped  £0.10
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed  £0.10
  • Handful mushrooms, chopped  £0.35
  • Oil for cooking  £0.02
  • 2 tsp garam masala  £0.02
  • 1 tsp ground cumin  £0.02
  • Salt and pepper  £0.02
  • Fresh coriander £0.15

Total £3.89

Gently fry the cloves, cardamom and bay in a saucepan with a little oil. Add the rice and stir well to coat in the oil and spices. read more

Beetroot and Poppy Seed Cupcakes

January 31, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 13 Comments

Beetroot and Poppyseed Cupcakes - All That I'm Eating (1 of 3)

I am a fan of beetroot; I’ve tried many different recipes with them in the past but sometimes when the vegetable box keeps bringing me beetroot I am stuck for what to do. I have made chocolate and beetroot cake in the past and I fancied trying something sweet with my latest accumulation, hence, Beetroot and Poppy Seed Cupcakes. Something a little different and somewhat stripy for the lunchbox.

You will need (for 12 cupcakes):

  • 200g self raising flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 150ml sunflower oil
  • 200g raw beetroot, peeled and grated
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 25g softened butter
  • 200g full fat cream cheese
  • 300g icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds

Preheat the oven to 180C. Squeeze as much water out of the grated beetroot as you can (your hands will turn a fabulous pink colour). read more

Blood Orange Tart with Caramelised Blood Oranges

January 26, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 11 Comments

I absolutely love blood oranges for several reasons: firstly they are just so pretty it’s hard not to like them, secondly as they are in season in January they are a welcome citrusy start to the year and thirdly I love squeezing a big bowl full to make my own pink juice. I wanted to make something to show off blood oranges at their best and I’ve fancied my hand at a tart au citron for a while. So I thought a sort of blood orange tart (or tart au blood orange) topped with caramelised blood oranges would be pretty tasty. read more

Sausage and Bacon Toad in the Hole

Sausage and Bacon Toad in the Hole - All That I'm Eating (1 of 2)

I had a grand vision. A toad in the hole to rival all others; one that brought together two of my favourite parts of a Sunday roast in one delicious meal. Pigs in blankets meet Yorkshire puddings sounds pretty amazing to me and so sausage and bacon Toad in the Hole was born. One slight issue with the version that I made was that it was almost a total failure. However, I decided to post this anyway (I think these posts are just as useful as those that are successful) so that if you try it for yourself you can use my ideas at the end to have more success than I did. read more

Cranberry and Pistachio Chocolate Truffles

December 16, 2014 By All That I'm Eating 5 Comments

Cranberry and Pistachio Chocolate Truffles

I can find it hard to know what to give people for gifts. When I’m not sure I normally cook or make something for them instead; it’s personal and I quite enjoy doing it. This is the other recipe that I developed for Kenwood (see crumble here) and I think they look a bit like Brussels sprouts if you stand far enough away (and squint). My recipe for Cranberry and Pistachio Chocolate Truffles is really simple and I find I usually have these ingredients in the cupboard at this time of year.

Cranberry and Clementine Crumble

December 12, 2014 By All That I'm Eating 9 Comments

I love cranberries and really try to make the most of them when they are around; they are almost fool proof when it comes to making jams and jellies as they are so full of pectin. This Cranberry and Clementine Crumble is a great way to use cranberries in a different way over the festive period and the addition of Cointreau adds a little something extra. I was asked to come up with a couple of wintry recipes as part of a project with Kenwood. I used one of the new Kenwood Chef Sense machines to test the recipe out at home and then I spent a day filming the recipes! I hope you enjoy it! read more
