Recipes by Hazel Sheard

	Stew; soup. by Hazel Sheard I'm not a soup gal. It's a thing. I never have been. Call it 'stew' and I'm there every time. I adore that stuff, more or less whatever meat or fish was used to make it. I would choose a stew almost every time over more or less any other sort of meal. Long, slow cooked meat falling into a nicely flavoured sauce, and all that.…	2 votes 601 views
	Green Tomato Pickle by Hazel Sheard Green Tomato PickleHmm. I just looked at the last date stamp. I guess it's partly to do with making the most of Traci not working and being home briefly before she heads back to the States at the end of the month. The blog comes second to real life sometimes.I finally came to the conclusion that tomato season was Over. It's been…	2 votes 579 views
	Plant to Plate. by Hazel Sheard It's been too wet. Our grapes that grew so beautifully all split. It's a shame - I tried one or two that weren't split and they're really lovely. They're actually a purple variety and perfect for eating if a bit seedy - I assumed they'd be a sour wine-type. We had to cut them all down and bin them, but they did look pretty.The…	2 votes 342 views
	Apple Crumble Cake by Hazel Sheard Apple Crumble CakeWork had a barbecue on Monday, to welcome our new members of staff. We're only a tiny company (6 and a half with the newbies), so there were partners and The Cambridge Arts Marketing Mafia and assorted hangers-on. It was a nice evening. Lots of wine. Being able to leave work at 4, too. Though when I walked through…	2 votes 504 views
	Final acceptance. by Hazel Sheard Actually, this guy is nothing to do with anything I want to talk about. AND I think it's probably a girl, not even a guy. She's turned up three or four times in the evenings about 10ish. I wonder if her owner goes to sleep or kicks her out or something. We nearly always leave our back doors open, and she just pootles in and makes…	2 votes 357 views
	Bean burgers. by Hazel Sheard Bean burgers.Apparently, I haven't posted a bean burger recipe on this blog. That must mean it's on the other one. How peculiar. Bean burgers are the apogee of vegetarian cuisine in the books of many people I know. They were certainly the most popular thing I ever made in Edinburgh when I was cooking for PGP. I think if I ever…	2 votes 408 views
	A recipe backlog: All Tedd's Fault. by Hazel Sheard I came online to post my Recent Experiment With Bread, because Tedd has pestered me at least 5 times in the last 36 hours for pictures of it. But when I came up upload photos from my camera, I discovered that I also had pictures for parsnip soup and for chocolate brownies. So...here is a full January lunch menu.No-Knead BreadThis is…	2 votes 526 views
	URGENT BERRY SPONGE & CUSTARD by Hazel Sheard OR:What To Do When Your Dad's Here For Dinner.My dad turns up at this flat every couple of weeks. This is fine. It's his flat. I just use it while I'm waiting for the next job. But I feed him. Which is also fine, because I like to cook. Sometimes he takes me for a curry, but I do try and cook because curry every two weeks would…	1 vote 324 views
	Chicken Curry by Hazel Sheard (It's hard to photograph curry looking appetising.)Ok. This time I have nobody to blame my recipe backlog on. It's just built up. I was sort of waiting for the bacon to be cured before writing about it, and then I made this the other day and only found time today... But! This is the best chicken curry I ever made, and I made it…	1 vote 832 views
	BACON (and the store cupboard quick supper of choice) by Hazel Sheard I was given this book for my birthday 3 months ago by my friend Martin, with whom I lived for about half of last year. He's the most foodie of any of my friends, including those who work in kitchens. We like Martin, he's ace. He'd been given a copy himself the Christmas before and had noted quite how much I read it and decided I…	1 vote 364 views
