Spicy and nutty squash soup

Spicy and nutty squash soup by Claire Marshall

Spicy and nutty squash soupDecember 2, 2011 by ClaireI’m having a bit of a peanut butter fad at the moment for no apparent reason. I started randomly eating peanut butter on toast occasionally for breakfast a few weeks ago, which is actually quite a nutritious way to start the way as long as you use wholemeal bread.…..Just to quickly…

Spicy salmon with pop-in-the-mouth mango salsa by Claire Marshall

Spicy salmon with pop-in-the-mouth mango salsaNovember 8, 2011 by ClaireSpicy salmon and mango salsaOn first glance this looks a bit of a fussy dish for a weekday meal and whilst I’d accept it is not as simple as a stew or a pasta dish I would urge you to give it a go because it only involves a bit of chopping and mixing. Plus it is…

The perfect mid-morning energy snack by Claire Marshall

The perfect mid-morning energy snackSeptember 18, 2011 by ClaireA delicious, cream filled cake it a wonderful thing, but I am afraid it can only be described as a treat and whilst I’d love to take a slice of homemade sponge to work for lunch every day I’m not about to start and I wouldn’t recommend you do either.A flapjack or energy…

Luscious left-overs: Four fab recipes

Luscious left-overs: Four fab recipes by Claire Marshall

Waste not, want not – that’s what my mum always used to say. She would never be seen throwing away half a tub of yoghurt or a bag of old apples. So how, in the space of around 20 years has this nation got into the habit of lobbing out perfectly edible food?It must have something to do with the disposable wealth we had in the early…

Simple chicken Caesar salad made from scratch

Simple chicken Caesar salad made from scratch by Claire Marshall

Simple chicken Caesar salad made from scratchJune 23, 2011 by ClaireI can’t count the number of bad chicken Caesar salads I’ve had in pubs and chain restaurants, it made me forget how delicious this dish can be when done right.

Broad bean, pancetta and mint risotto

Broad bean, pancetta and mint risotto by Claire Marshall

Broad bean, pancetta and mint risottoI think the more time I spend cooking, the less ingredients I use in my food. Simplicity is key. Yes there are many delicious elaborate dishes, meals combining complex flavours etc etc. But there is nothing quite like real butter and fresh chives over little Jersey Royal potatoes, or sliced…

Chicken chow mein

Chicken chow mein by Claire Marshall

Chicken chow meinApril 4, 2011 by ClaireI was dubious whether to call this a chow mein or not because one: I am not Chinese and two: I have never been to China, so I have no authority on the matter. But I think of chow mein as a Chinese style noodle dish and this is a Chinese style stir-fry with noddles – so chow mein it is.My chicken…

Posh chicken and chips!March 27, 2011 by ClairePolenta crusted chicken, smoky sweet potato wedges and garlic dipI’ve been going polenta crazy recently. I’m actually not a fan of ‘wet’ polenta or even slices of polenta as the Italians do, instead I love the way you can use this gorgeous golden crumb in baking and cooking for a range of…
