I’d never used a pressure cooker until very recently and I expected it would be similar to slow cooking but the reality I happy to say is much much better. The speed with which the food cooks means flavours are fresh and clean with no loss of integrity; and while there is some steam it is not accomp …

Cooking as a single, however, is not that great since: you usually end up with enough to eat for weeks no one else is around to enjoy your meals the time and effort put into cooking can seem wasteful I hate doing dishes, and cooking always produce …

Sounds easy, but part of my me made pledge this year was about wearing outfits I like and that I’ll be happy to keep wearing later in the year. This is harder! Me mades every day means planned …

I have found a few Gluten Free blogs to follow and love lately, and one of them, Apple & Spice, brought it to my attention that it is Coeliac Awareness Week this week! As someone who is Gluten Intolerant and Coeliac-all-but-with-a-diagnosis, I feel like its an important week in the UK to raise some …

I have been missing pizza. My dietician told me no fast food for a while (too high sodium and fat), so I have not had pizza from a restaurant for a while. I decided that it is about time that I try making my own. Shouldn’t be too hard: pizza dough, cheese, sauce, and some toppings. My biggest challe …

From Healthy Asian Vegetarian Dishes, Periplus Editions, 2003. For this dish I took 2 Asian eggplants and dropped them into a pot of boiling salted water.

I’m trying to learn to be just a little bit more flexible (Paul, Mom, anybody else who’s reading this, you can stop laughing now!), and my cooking seems like a good place to start. I’d much prefer to follow directions exactly, but getting rhubarb and baby cake pans was going to be expensive and kind …

Sorry to have ignored you for so long, readers. My cooking experiences during finals were basically either 1) asking Matt to cook dinner for the week, 2) baking potatoes, and 3) Getting together leftovers from when Matt cooked and making a soup out of the random ingredients. But Sunday was Cinco de …

We had a busy week. After church in Sunday, DH filled my gas tank on the way home. We parked and stayed home the rest of the day. S1 was picked up by a friend to spend the day at their house, and as they were coming into the house, K said it smelled like fuel by the van. We went out, and there was g …

Yesterday I made spaghetti carbonara (only with macaroni) for the first time, and considered it a success. Consequently I’ve been thinking about Italian cookery. Carbonara, at least according to wikipedia, is likely a dish invented in the post-war period. All I know about pre-war Italian cuisine is …
