Freshly Warming Courgette & Spinach Soup

This is a nice way to use courgette by adding spinach, a small amount of potato, some mustard heat and the fresh tang of lemon and yoghurt to create a tasty soup. This makes enough for four at 170 calories per person. Ingredients  4 medium courgette, diced 200g spinach 200g potatoes, peeled and diced 2… Read More Freshly Warming Courgette & Spinach Soup

Citrus & Herb Tuna

A simple marinade can transform a piece of your favourite fish. I have done this with tuna but you can use a piece of salmon, chunk of cod or hake fillet. If your fish is frozen then drop it into the marinade to defrost at room temperature for an hour ahead of cooking. Ingredients  4… Read More Citrus & Herb Tuna

Italian Chicken Escalope (with a Southern US vibe)

I love a shallow fried breaded piece of meat and this delivers on all levels. A quick coating and marinade in the loosened down yoghurt is just like traditional US southern fried chicken recipes use butter milk. It makes the chicken super tender. Making the bread crumbs yourself means they can be rough and ready… Read More Italian Chicken Escalope (with a Southern US vibe)

Prawn & Courgette Frittata

This classic Italian deep baked omelette is a good way to use up some left over items in the fridge although actually planning a proper one and putting some thought to the ingredients is really worth it. I like lots of filling and just enough egg to hold it together. The whole thing is 500… Read More Prawn & Courgette Frittata

Braised Beef Silverside – Winter Heaven

Come on everyone it’s cold outside so you have to respond with some food to make you warm from the inside at least. I have done this recipe to remind everyone that sometimes a bit of slow cooking is the answer and instant gratification needs to get dropped off the menu. I bought a 650g… Read More Braised Beef Silverside – Winter Heaven

Sensible drinkers give the barkeep their recipe

I love an alcoholic drink as much as the next person but only if they’re served properly and some thought and effort has been put in to making them. Necking volume is pointless just like eating vast quantities of an “eat as much as you can” buffet which normally ignores quality and taste. This premiss… Read More Sensible drinkers give the barkeep their recipe

Cincinnati Chilli (Don’t Forget All The Makings)

This is the best and simplest chilli recipe ever – I have done it for many family and friends events and been asked for the recipe loads of times. Good or bad news first? OK. Bad: there is a long list of ingredients. Good: the cooking method is only three lines long. Ingredients 400 ml cold… Read More Cincinnati Chilli (Don’t Forget All The Makings)

Baked Sweet Potato Crisps

These are now being sold in most supermarkets including Tesco and Sainsbury’s. The baked versions you buy have no added fat but I did use a spray of flora to get the smoked paprika and salt to stick. It also means the oven doesn’t have to on so long! Each 50g of sweet potato ends… Read More Baked Sweet Potato Crisps

I’m Will

Welcome to my site. My aim is to find ways to use my love for food and drink to make me thinner NOT fatter. As a 50 something bloke my view of how to achieve this, I think, is more realistic than many food bloggers.
