Friday Pie Day: Chilli Con Carne Pie

Friday Pie Day: Chilli Con Carne Pie by Hungry Jenny

Ah, chilli con carne, the old classic. My housemate Anita often cooks it for dinner and I've been pondering over recent weeks over how to turn it into a pie.A while back, I did make these Mini Chilli Con Carne Pies, which were essentially little tortilla pots, complete with a tortilla 'lattice' pie top.This time though, I wanted…

The Blameless Cake With No Name

The Blameless Cake With No Name by Hungry Jenny

Poor innocent little fellow.There are times where I get ideas in my head and they turn out just how I intended (or, on the rare occasion, even better!) Other times, the idea just turns into a Hungry Jenny Faux Pas that does not warrant a recipe, or just goes plain wrong.This one presented a slightly different issue however.I can't…

Friday Pie Day: Orange and Ginger Turkey Crumble

Friday Pie Day: Orange and Ginger Turkey Crumble by Hungry Jenny

Savoury crumble?Yes, please!Ok, it looks a bit weird and er, crumbly but it was quite a messy one to work with on camera! It works well as an individual pie serving though - you don't have to worry about dishing this out and slopping it messily onto a plate to serve.Use turkey thigh/leg meat for this if you can, as it will stay lovely…

Restoration of the Strawberry Cake

Restoration of the Strawberry Cake by Hungry Jenny

A few weeks ago, I had a bit of a soggy slip-up in an attempt to make a strawberry cake.Now, a faux pas of this kind is usually enough to put me off having another go for a while.But in this case, I had to get on the case and try again quickly!I had promised my Capoeira teacher, Bia, a big strawberry and white choccy fan, that I would…

Wholegrain Berry Cake

Wholegrain Berry Cake by Hungry Jenny

This is a healthier option that still tastes as moist and sweet as the high-sugar, bad fats cake you get. This is low in sugar, butter-free and uses wholegrain flour. Lovely with a cup of tea and light enough as a lovely breakfast cake ;-) For an 8" round tin (8 slices)

When I was younger, I used to hate garlic. Pooey and weird tasting. I just didn't understand it.My mum tends to put whole cloves of garlic in her cooking, and so as I was growing up, I always had that Fear of accidentally scooping whole cloves up into my mouth. Ick!Of course, since then, I've become Hungrier for a far wider variety of…

Easy Veggie Garlic Stir Fry

Easy Veggie Garlic Stir Fry by Hungry Jenny

Garlic is one of those simple ingredients that can add so much flavourful with a single clove - so imagine what it'd taste like with 4 cloves as used in this recipe for 2 people!
