Calendar Competition has been canned
A bit of sad news today. We’ve decided to stop the Calendar Competition due to a lack of interest. I think it was a good idea, but shorter competitions like the Cornishware one are proving to be much more popular.
Goan fish curry
This recipe for Goan fish curry has to be one of the quickest and most delicious curries I have ever made. It has a hot, deep spicy flavour and can be ready within half an hour.
Win Cornishware mugs!
We’ve teamed up with T.G Greens to celebrate the launch of their new his and hers mugs and as a treat we’ll be giving away a set of four mugs worth £40 as a present. Check out the full post for all the details.
Ham & Cheese savoury pancakes
This is similar to my sweet pancake recipe, only it has the addition of buckwheat flour which gives the pancakes a richer, nutty flavour, similar to a crêpe – perfect for topping with your favourite filling, which for me is ham and cheese.
Food blogger photography
Matt shares his food blogger photography tips and explains how to get the most out of your camera and setup.
In this, the first part, he covers what equipment you’ll need, including a camera, tripod, remote shutter release and software.
Calendar competition: February’s challenge
January’s challenge is out of the way and the recipes are now waiting for your votes. We’re keeping the challenge seasonal this month, but also want to see some of your deliciously warming desserts.
Think leeks, cauliflower, Jerusalem artichokes, kale, cabbage, parsnips, mussels, oysters, Guinea fowl and venison. Anything goes for the desserts, but there will be extra points for using rhubarb or Seville oranges.
Get your thinking caps on and create a recipe using one or more of the above ingredients. Send it in and you could win February’s challenge. Good luck!
Weekend cooking
The weekend is a time when I get to cook the food I’ve thinking about all week. It’s a time for experimentation, where a week day is reserved for quick tried and trusted recipes, and a chance to spend a little more time in the kitchen.
What did you cook last weekend?
Kick back with cake this weekend
The weekend is a time to relax and recuperate from a hectic week at work. If you’re anything like me then it’s also a perfect opportunity to do some serious home cooking.
I’ve already shared our top egg recipes in “Enjoy eating eggs this weekend”. This week I’d like to share our most brilliant cake recipes!
Calendar Competition – time to vote on January’s entries!
It’s time to test your voting skills, as January’s Calendar Competition entries are now in! We’ve been really pleased with the response to this competition, but think you’re holding out on us! There’s still going to be another11 challenges throughout the year, so plenty more chances to get one of your recipes on the calendar.
Tomato soup
This is a really quick recipe for tomato soup that you can make and serve within half an hour. It’s a beautiful colour, tastes great and is healthy! There’s no need to make this more complicated than it has to be…
