Friday Pie Day: Mini Chocolate Crumble PiesA mini crumble that tastes more beautiful than it looks. Though it has one snag.For a Mini Chocolate Crumble Pie, it doesn't look very chocolately at all, does it?Oops.Fear not though - it wasn't that I forgot to put any trace of chocolate in or anything! Now that would be pretty silly.Towards the start of this year, I had a bit of an… |

Cranberry and Peanut Butter Squares (butter free)Watch out now, this is one of those deceptive-looking cakes.Quite simply, it's rather more substantial than it looks.This one was actually kind of inspired by the peanut cakes you find in Chinese bakeries. You may or may not have come across them, but the taste and texture of these is something quite special. And quite tricky to… |

Friday Pie Day: Comfort Chicken and Baked Bean Pie BowlHm, that's quite a mouthful, that name.But this is one of those comfort meals that will give you a warm and fuzzy feeling as you eat it. Ooh!It's the middle of July and not wanting to go into a complete British rant about it, the weather in the UK has been ruddy awful. Sideways rain, cold winds, random flooding (with surprise bursts… |

A Kind of Strawberry Shortbread ShortcakeThis looks like a cake, but the taste has more of a crumbly biscuit texture to it.You can see the problem I had with naming this then.Sure, 'strawberry shortcake' is no alien concept at all, and neither is 'shortbread' - infact, I'm pretty sure that they come from the same family. Like distant relatives. They're related, but you're… |

Say NO to Takeaway: Throw Together Some Tomato Egg Fried Rice Instead!Ah, this one's a bit of a home comfort of mine.One of the dishes that my mum often used to make was tomato egg fried rice. Her version usually had pork mince in it too, but it was the combo of tomatoes and egg that did it for me. What's funny is that I… |

Friday Pie Day: Cheesy Spring Onion Tart...and a RevelationYou may remember a while back that I had a slightly volatile 'incident' with a cheese tart. (Well, 12 of them.) I fully blame my non-co-operative fan oven for that.Over the last week or so though, I've discovered something that I think may be the answer to all my recent baking failures.So, you know when you have a problem and the… |

Lazy Veggie Dauphinoise BakeIs it me or is there a slight green tinge to this photo?Um, yep, that's my Hungry camera skills tripping up there. This is what happens when I start to get impatient with myself and want to get stuck into the eating part. But to be honest I don't think it was entirely camera-foolishness.I've had these new potatoes sitting in my… |

Banana and Coconut Cupcakes (butter and sugar free)Now, these are not cupcakes in the traditional sense.Hm, sounds promising, eh?When someone mentions 'cupcake' to you, I bet you imagine a sweet and fluffy little cake, topped with icing, frosting or buttercream, whilst looking oh-so-pretty at the same time.Well these ones are not too bad-looking (I suppose). But as you've probably… |

Three Ways With RadishesThe radish is something quite unbeknownst to me. It's not a vegetable that I have eaten much of at all, probably because it wasn't something that I tried when I was younger. But I always see them at the market and wonder what exactly can be done with them.I always expect them to taste oniony because they look like some weird… |

Friday Pie Day: Balsamic Beef PieNot the prettiest pie and this also suffered my inpatient hungriness hence the rather poor shot. (Sorry about that)The other day, I was looking through my random recipe notes (ie Post-Its of various recipe thoughts stuck in a notepad) and spotted one with just 'Balsamic Beef' on it. I really can't remember where that came from or why… |
