Chunky vegetable and bean soup with parmesanChunky vegetable and bean soup with parmesanJanuary 7, 2012 by ClaireThere are some who will say soup does not make a dinner, certainly not an evening meal, but I have to dispute this. Anyone who has read this blog before will know that the two people behind Food4two, me and my partner (who doesn’t cook, just eats) are big eaters and… |

Spanish chorizo and bean stewSpanish chorizo and bean stewJanuary 11, 2012 by ClaireIn a way want to say this is a seasonal meal, but I don’t really mean seasonal in the sense of the vegetables in it, as there are actually tomatoes in it and then just an onion. What I mean is that it fits in well at this time of year, very much like a pie or a stew. It is warming… |

PizzariaPizzariaJanuary 28, 2012 by ClaireHomemade pizzaMaking pizza is one of those things we often can’t really be bothered to do because you can buy them from the supermarket or from the take-away easily enough.

Pimped up Cottage PiePimped up Cottage PieFebruary 8, 2012 by ClaireOk, so pimped up is really just trying to make this sound a little bit special. In fact there are just a few subtle additions to the traditional recipe, notably herbs in the mash and cheese on the top, plus plenty of wine in the meat and fresh thyme for depth of flavour.I must admit I am… |

Something out of nothingSomething out of nothingFebruary 17, 2012 by ClaireA meal made with fresh, expensive, top quality ingredients will likely taste divine, but surely there is nothing as satisfying as making a tasty dish out of the odds and ends in your fridge that were destined for the bin if they had of been left a day longer?It’s not just the fact… |

Ginger and sesame rice with poached chickenGinger and sesame rice with poached chickenFebruary 29, 2012 by ClaireGinger and sesame rice with poached chickenThe thing I find most interesting about this recipe is that it is at once punchy and fresh but also warming and hearty – an unusual mix.

Homemade onion bhajisHomemade onion bhajisMarch 7, 2012 by ClaireI’ve been utterly taken with making my own onion bhajis, they are just brilliant. Yes, you do need to shallow fry them in oil, thereby having to heat a large quantity of oil on your hob (mildly scary and dangerous) and chop tear inducing onions. But they are worth it I promise you. Much… |

Spinach and feta filo parcelsSpinach and feta filo parcelsApril 9, 2012 by ClaireI don’t usually go in for things that are a faff to make, and there is no denying these (or anything using filo pastry) are a faff to make. But occasionally, on a quiet weekend it is nice to have an activity that consumes your mind and takes your mind off whatever it was on.Spinach… |

Easy entertaining – antipasti and perfect Italian meatballsEasy entertaining – antipasti and perfect Italian meatballsDecember 28, 2011 by ClaireEvery year there are things that make each Christmas memorable. That dodgy Christmas present you received from a family member (I’m not naming names), the argument over the dinner table, snow on Christmas day. This year, for me, it will be the food… |
