	Seafood Curry by Giles Lindsay Is it really 2014 already?I started writing this post on the 14th July 2012 – not sure it was meant to take this long to write. Doesn’t time fly! What a roller-coaster 18 months…Needless to say, with some gentle persuasion, getting back to this, was getting back to something I love and enjoy doing, and sharing with others. Life was so…	1 vote 491 views
	Baked Pappardelle with Pancetta and Porcini by Giles Lindsay After receiving a pot of Porcini Mushrooms for Xmas (Santa has good taste), I knew they would come into good use at some point soon. So while sat watching morning TV, full of a cold and feeling thoroughly miserable, ‘The Good Cook’ with Simon Hopkinson came on and after a few minutes he started cooking this dish. It was just the…	1 vote 425 views
	Baked Paprika Eggs by Giles Lindsay After the arrival of my online supermarket shopping the other evening, I discovered a freebie magazine buried at the bottom of a bag. Just before throwing it into the recycling, I noticed this recipe mentioned on the front cover, so dived in for a look. I am always looking for simple suppers at weekends, especially having walked to a…	1 vote 551 views
	Pollo alla Cacciatora by Giles Lindsay I hadn’t bought a cook book for a very long time and it was only because I was feeling sorry for Jamie, seeing his cook books on the shelf of a shop in town, going for a very low price, that I didn’t want to see him falling on hard times ;)It was then a case of what am I going to cook first from it? It was cold and wet and I didn’t…	1 vote 589 views
	Blueberry Muffins by Giles Lindsay As a family we first ate a muffin on the quayside of Granville Island, Vancouver, in 1989, on our first big trip as a family to the States and Canada for a wedding. Everyone fell in love with them, and when they arrived in the UK as US-style coffee shops appeared it was even better. Blueberry ones seem to be the favourite but…	1 vote 556 views
	Greek Lamb Fricassee by Giles Lindsay In Greek: αρνί φρικασέ, pronounced ar-NEE free-kah-SEHThe Greek definition of “fricassee” may differ from what you know as a French dish, and this ‘is’ a Greek classic. Lamb fricassee with avgolemono (a traditional egg-lemon sauce) is a favourite in Greek homes.It’s an easy recipe to make and a celebration of taste. This is a Jamie…	1 vote 582 views
	Indonesian fried rice with mackerel by Giles Lindsay Having spent lunch at one of Surrey’s finest hostelries, there was no way I wanted to cook something big for supper, so ended up searching for something light and tasty, using up what I had in the fridge. Searching for mackerel and rice, I actually found the following recipe on the BBC Food website. Making sure I had everything else…	1 vote 527 views
	Dutch Apple Cake – Kruimelkoek by Giles Lindsay After being told about this Kruimelkoek recipe and getting my hands on the book below, I thought that this was one recipe that could not be missed, especially as I had a batch of Somerset apples that had been cooked and frozen. Having already blogged about a family favourite recipe for a delicious Somerset Cider Apple Cake, I wanted…	1 vote 501 views
	Chilli Chicken One-Pot by Giles Lindsay This recipe was chosen after a need to use up some left over chorizo and what a great choice it was :)As a big fan of one-pot dishes, they come into their element when having guests over for dinner, as you can spend time with them, instead of slaving away in the kitchen, while the aroma fills the house.Definitely make sure you have…	1 vote 511 views
	Spicy Seafood Stew With Tomatoes And Lime by Giles Lindsay The majority of my blog posts are usually recording the family recipes being passed down to me, or sharing new recipes I find and like the look of, to try out at home. Rarely do I get the chance to cook for friends, trying out a recipe that is new and untested, all at the same time.I’m glad I got the opportunity to try this out on a…	1 vote 443 views
