Where There's A Will…

Sweet & Hot Pickled Onions

A ploughman’s lunch isn’t a ploughman’s lunch with out a pickled onion or two. These are hot, sharp and sweet all at the same time and I like to eat them on their own too. The longer you leave them the rounder and deeper the flavour becomes. Mix up the spices depending on your taste… Read More Sweet & Hot Pickled Onions

Polenta, Coriander & Corn Fritters with Pea Guacamole

Fritters, fritters, more fritters. I love them. Polenta adds additional corn flavours and the pea based dip is a winner. Great as a starter or make small ones as a canapés or as a side alongside a main course like chilli. Ingredients 75g polenta 50g self-raising flour 1⁄2 tsp salt 1 egg 100ml milk 300g… Read More Polenta, Coriander & Corn Fritters with Pea Guacamole

Manchester Piccalilli

  Piccalilli is such a British thing with that combo of India spices and pickling heritage. I’ve added sweetcorn to my vegetable selection because I always loved sweetcorn relish so it satisfies two things for me. My daughters bought me a great book called The Modern Preserver by Kylee Newton which gave me most of the… Read More Manchester Piccalilli

Turkey Potstickers

Potstickers (American term) are made in various versions round the world including the most well known as Goyoza in Japan. They are small wrap parcels, fried then steamed. Mine are filled with turkey mince and Chinese cabbage and served with a chilli/soy sauce dip. It makes 30, each one is about 40 calories so a… Read More Turkey Potstickers

Smoky Garlic Dip & Baked Tortilla Chips

The chips are baked and the dip is powerful. Blanching the garlic and cooking it in milk takes away the harshness. The yoghurt and coriander allows you to moderate the intensity. You can also use it as a spread in wraps or as a sauce along side some grilled meat or fish. Ingredients  100g (about… Read More Smoky Garlic Dip & Baked Tortilla Chips

Low Guilt Cranberry, Pear & Apple Sauce

The challenge with most cranberry sauce recipes and pre-made jars of the same is the quantity of sugar and therefore calories in them. This can often range from 150 to 250 calories per 100g which even though you might not have much soon adds up. My recipe uses some pear and apple to add some… Read More Low Guilt Cranberry, Pear & Apple Sauce

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

Nigella Inspired Courgetti With Marmite

I, like many people, love Nigella Lawson. When I found this recipe in her “kitchen” book it made life much more understandable. The original is here. I switched the spaghetti for 360g of spiralized courgette and added  1 teaspoon of marmite, 10g of butter and 5g of parmesan. 180 calories of loveliness. Obviously if you… Read More Nigella Inspired Courgetti With Marmite

Roast Sweet Potato, Carrot & Coriander Soup

Carrot and coriander is a classic soup adding sweet potato and roasting the vegetables first adds a depth of flavour that is really worth the extra effort. Serves two at 200 calories per person. Ingredients 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1cm pieces 2 carrots, peeled and diced into 1cm chunks 2 tsps… Read More Roast Sweet Potato, Carrot & Coriander Soup

Miso, Watercress & Cucumber Soup

Don’t panic this is not as mad as it sounds. I have combined miso stock (you know that stuff you often see being sold off in the specialist aisle at the supermarket), watercress topped up with spinach and finished off with some diced cucumber and horseradish sauce. It all gives a sushi style of flavours… Read More Miso, Watercress & Cucumber Soup

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.
