Category: Menus

Foolishly, I planned this week’s menu last week when I had lots of ideas (cravings) but already filled my list. This was before I realised it would be 30 degrees and that I would have little inclination to move, let alone cook 🙁

• Chicken liver bunny-chow w/ mashed cauliflower
• Coq au Vin with braised red cabbage
• Wings & Ribs
• Cod, chorizo, tomato and aioli on greens
• Lamb curry with roast cauliflower
• Steak, parsnip chips and blue cheese sauce
• Bubble & squeak with York ham and eggs

Also knocked up two batches of soup (Broccoli & Stilton and a chunky Pesto & Root Veg)

After a too-short visit to South Africa (with quite a bit of over-indulgence and a LOT of great wines) time to get back on track.  Got a whole week of tasty meals planned, with minimal cooking effort required, so should have no excuses for extra snacks or trips to the pub!
