This is my blog about cooking for a family of growing boys. Tasty, healthy and lots of it.
- Perfect Hamburger Buns
- Savoury butternut fritters
- Crusty Bread in Four Hours
- Olive & cheese stuffed herb bread
- Falafel
My food philosophy is to make everything from scratch as far as possible, to cut out as many additives and those dreaded e-number-ingredients as I can. I do use tinned tomatoes, chickpeas, beans and tuna – that sort of thing.
As a home cook my equipment is pretty basic, a couple of nice knives, double oven and basics like mixers and the like. This means I make pizza in two rectangular oven trays and my chips (french fries) are cut by hand and deep-fried in a pot on the stove.
My chips are not all exactly the same shape, as I don’t discard the rounded edge bits. In my family we need about 1.6kg of potatoes for a meal, excluding the protein. This is simply a reality when feeding active boys.
You can find my recipes below. I find inspiration from many sources, but most of my recipes are my own. Where I use someone else’s recipe, I will acknowledge them. The photographs are my own.
