I made brownies last week, for a gathering of friends. I always use this Nigella Lawson recipe, which makes a huge heap – I find a huge heap of brownies generally to be the right amount, as people rarely refuse, and they keep well. I cooked them in the oven, and baked a couple of…

a week with the Remoska
Well, we’re dead pleased with it. Here’s what we’ve done so far: soup – veg started off, bones roasted banana muffins made cooked breakfast – bacon, mushrooms, black pudding roast pork and roast potatoes plum crumble (plums cooked first in the shallow pan, then complete crumble in the big one, in a dish on the…
soup (an ongoing series)
This isn’t quite the first soup of the season, it’s the second. But never mind. Regular readers will know I’m not a fan of supermarkets, but if I have to use one, the local Morrisons is my favourite. We popped in there yesterday on the way back from picking up my new melodeon (yay!) for…
Remoska Sunday
Started with Sunday breakfast – put a stack of chopped mushrooms, black pudding and bacon in the shallow Remoska pan and turned it on; to be frank, I had little expectation of it working well, but I beat some eggs and cream for scrambly egg and hoped for the best. And in fifteen minutes, we…
scones in the Remoska
Sorry about this, but while I’m experimenting with the new Remoska, there’s going to be a few posts about it 🙂  I ordered the shallow pan for it from Lakeland, along with the recipe book, so I plan to get plenty of use from it (they arrived this morning). We went to Bridlington today –…
roast veg forever!
We decided to christen the Remoska with roast veg, something I love but rarely manage to start in time to eat it at a reasonable time of night. Well, actually, we christened it with some potato scones – they worked beautifully, but I’m not sure that it’s not easier with a griddle pan on the…
energy saving cooking
Apologies for the hiatus in posts – I find cooking in the summer a bit meh and uninteresting, and had nothing new to write. Thus I welcomed the autumn weather with glee, exhumed a chicken carcass from the freezer, and made stock, then soup, in the slow cooker. Of course, immediately the weather turned into…
sapo in the hole
(sapo is Spanish for toad) We had some snacking chorizos left from this month’s Discover Unearthed tasting box – they’re the first thing we’ve had from them that we didn’t really like, so after the first taste, we decided to cook something with them. And thus a chorizo toad in the hole was conceived. I…
a sossidge baguette
For some reason, I’ve hardly used the Remoska since we’ve been here. Â This kitchen has less countertop, and less cupboard space than my old one, and the little chap has been pushed into a cupboard, but even so … We had two fat venison sausages left from the weekend, and thought they’d be nice in…
unexpected belly pork
Unexpected, because I took two bags of bones for stock out of the freezer on Saturday, and when I looked at them on Sunday one of them turned out to be a not very big piece of belly pork …
