Winter Salads with a Touch of Spring Winter Salads with a Touch of Spring By Checky's Kitchen 03/15/13 21:23 The weather is all over the place. One minute it is sunny, the next it is freezing and it is difficult to know what to eat. The odd glimpse of sunshine puts me the mood for something more Spring-like, like a lovely fresh salad after a winter of stodge....
Zuppa Rapida Zuppa Rapida By Checky's Kitchen 03/12/13 18:56 I was just finishing my latest blog, inspired by the one sunny day last week, on "Winter Salads" when it started snowing. No-one wants salad when it is snowing, so I rummaged around in the fridge and found an abundance of onions, carrots, celery, leeks,...
Baked Eggs - No Ham Baked Eggs - No Ham By Checky's Kitchen 03/04/13 23:17 Another food scare which once again confirms that we just do not know what is in our food unless we prepare it all ourselves. Hugh, the other half, has taken this one to heart. Even though we never eat ready prepared meals he has decided to not only give...
Swede as Swede as By Checky's Kitchen 02/12/13 15:35 I made it through my first cookery lesson with nothing more major than cutting half my index finger nail off and creating so much washing-up that apparently it took four hours to clean up after me! Apart from that I think it went pretty well but we are...
Fodue without the Fuss Fodue without the Fuss By Checky's Kitchen 01/22/13 11:45 I am meant to be on a diet after the Christmas excesses but it is cold and that calls for warming, yummy food with lots of cheese and calories. What better than a traditional recipe from the Ski slopes of Savoie in the French Alps. After all, I have just...
Bubble and Squeak Bubble and Squeak By Checky's Kitchen 01/16/13 15:55 Christmas is well and truly over. They have even collected the trees. The kids are back at school and there is absolutely no excuse at all for not having written a blog last week - apart from the fact that I just haven't managed to find the time. I seemed...
Clever Confit Clever Confit By Checky's Kitchen 12/20/12 15:43 Cooking seems to be getting ever-more complicated. Nobody just puts food in the oven now a days. It must be at the very least - brined for a week, smoked for a day, braised in the Sous-vide overnight and finished on the Josper grill. Well, maybe only if...
Return of the slow-cooker Return of the slow-cooker By Checky's Kitchen 12/10/12 23:04 I am finding it really hard these days to even get near my computer to write my blog. It used to be my kids who hijacked the laptop, limiting my writing time to "after bedtime" hours, by which time I was usually ready for bed myself. But now it is our latest...
Perfect Pasties Perfect Pasties By Checky's Kitchen 11/08/12 14:17 As I was making the kids sandwiches, yet again, for their school lunch-boxes, I thought how nice it would be to be able to give them something different for a change. A home-made Cornish pasty sprang to mind. What a great way of using up vegetables and...
Use your Veg Use your Veg By Checky's Kitchen 10/23/12 13:57 Sorry I have been away so long from my blog. I am shocked to say it has been 5 months since my last post. Not that I should think many people noticed, but an increase in work-load and kids on school holidays over the summer, meant that demands on my time...
Beta Than Cider Beta Than Cider By Checky's Kitchen 05/18/12 13:25 I recently realised that I was not doing nearly enough exercise. Since the kids have finally both started school, I don't even seem to walk as much I as used to. No more endless trips to the park pushing buggies. This lack of exercise is taking its toll...
Variations on a Theme Variations on a Theme By Checky's Kitchen 05/14/12 15:28 It has been all work and no play at the moment so I afraid that my blog has been a little abandoned but I am back and hurrah, so is Asparagus . By that I mean English Asparagus and it marks the end of the hungry gap - that long period between December and...
Fit for Life Fit for Life By Checky's Kitchen 05/02/12 19:49 Many years ago, probably when I was in my early 20's I remember testing out yet another fad diet in a desparate attempt to loose weight. This one involved food combining; only eating certain foods together and at particular times of the day. I had a book,...
Eat Your Veg Eat Your Veg By Checky's Kitchen 04/26/12 18:49 As I may have mentioned, one of my many jobs is trying to inspire people how to use up a weekly organic veg box. I go to peoples houses and in two hours cook up a lunch for up to 10 people, from a medium veg box. None of the recipes are complicated, but...
Kfc Kfc By Checky's Kitchen 04/16/12 15:57 I don't think I have ever had chicken at KFC. When I was a kid, there was a horific story in the papers, about how someone had got a bone stuck in their throat whilst eating Kentucky Fried Chicken and had been rushed to hospital. After having had the bone...
Spring Clean Spring Clean By Checky's Kitchen 04/10/12 01:03 My cupboards are fit to bursting. I am forever buying a new sort of noodle, sauce or spice for some dish or another and it is taking its toll on my already incredibly cramped storage space. To top it off my Dad has just done his annual Passover trip to...
Good Morning Vietnam Good Morning Vietnam By Checky's Kitchen 04/05/12 23:39 I can't seem to get enough of Vietnamese cooking at the moment. I know I was banging on about it a couple of weeks ago when I made Pho Ga but since then I have added a couple more dishes to my repetoire. I think it is partly the Vietnamese use of mint which...
Fabulous Fennel Fabulous Fennel By Checky's Kitchen 04/01/12 21:12 I love Fennel. I know it is meant to be a bit of a "love it, or hate it" vegetable, but I just think it is an acquired taste. But I don't think I really understood fennel until a late age. Now I think is so super versatile and clean and fresh, I just can't...
Tapas Time Tapas Time By Checky's Kitchen 03/25/12 23:07 My favourite squid dish in the world has got to be The River Cafe's. I am very happy to say, that I found it, still on their menu, 18 years since I last cooked it there. Simply scored on the inside and then char-grilled until it curls inside-out into a...
Staying in Staying in By Checky's Kitchen 03/21/12 20:16 God, sometimes I miss eating out in expensive restaurants. When I was a young chef, many years ago, most of my meagre weeks wages would have gone on eating out. It was imperative to research new restaurants, know what was happening, keep ahead of the game....
