Last night's creation: Chicken with Squash Recipe Book: Fortnum & Mason - The Cook Book Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Tasty. I really liked the look of this recipe so I thought I'd give it a bash for tea last night and I was pleasantly surprised. The squash relish was lovely, sweet, aniseedy and has a bit of a kick from the chillis and fennel and chicken cooked perfectly. It wasn't a quick recipe to make, but I suppose some of us have a bit more time on hands at the moment during this shite show of a pandemic. If you're looking for something a bit different to do with a chicken breast, then certainly give this recipe a try. Please note, I had to ask my butcher for chicken breasts with skin on as Sainsbury's didn't stock them in the meat aisle. Full Recipe Below Serves 2 Ingredients: 4 fennel bulbs 4 chicken breasts, skin on 80ml rapeseed oil salt and freshly ground black pepper For the butternut squash relish 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 shallots, finely diced 1 red chill

Fried Chicken Sandwich Recipe: Fried Chicken Sandwich Recipe Book: Nigella Lawson - Cook, Eat, Repeat. Link to recipe Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 OMG this is so unhealthy but SOOOOOOO good. I made this before I saw it on her new show. To be brutally honest I really didn't expect much from it, having made other burger style recipes...but! Honest to God this is amazing. It's not particularly quick or tidy to make but the taste truly makes up for this. I chose to make it with buttermilk as I always have a pot or two in my freezer for times like these. I also took myself off to the Filipino store down on Standish St in Burnley to locate some of the Chilli Crisp Oil, it's only £2.50 a jar there compared to £7.50 on Amazon! I didn't use the pink pickled onions but I did pick up a tin of Kimchi and I tried it. Pretty much made it as per recipe. For those with a deep fryer this should work fine. Aga Conversion: Used the pan on the boiling plate with a thermometer. Will I ma

Nigel Slater - Paprika, Mustard Chicken Goujons  Recipe Book: Nigel Slater - Eat  Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So, So good! When I started mixing the paprika and mustard together I started deliberating whether these were going to be any good as the mix smelled funny. I actually went and opened a new jar of mustard to check the smell. It was fine, my nose is obviously weird. These are very quick easy to make, I used 2 chicken breasts and sliced each one into 3.  I suppose they’re not overly healthy with being fried but I suppose you could try baking them....nah stick to frying! 😆  I served with the wedges of lime and also a bit of Hellman’s Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise.  Absolutely delicious! Aga conversion: I used a regular frying pan on the boiling plate for this recipe as they really don’t take long to fry. Will I make this again? Absolutely! The husband loved them too.

Chicken Wings, Katsu Sauce Recipe Book: Nigel Slater - Eat Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Very nice. For us it didn’t quite hit the spot for a 5⭐️ but it was still good. We had loads of sauce left so next time I’d make half the portion of sauce. It tasted a bit like satay your me even though there was no peanut butter in it. I had to substitute medium curry powder for mild as I didn’t have any mild in, but it tasted good regardless. Easy enough to make, basically chuck all the sauce ingredients in the blender. Aga conversion: I did most of it on the hot plates, I used the boiling plate for the first 5 minutes and then simmered for 30 minutes on the floor of the simmering oven. I did the final crisping you fry on the boiling plate.  Will I make this again? Yes it was good, probably just use chicken breast next time as it was a bit messy to eat though.

Citrus Chilli Grilled Chicken Recipe Book: Nigel Slater - Eat Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was so good! Such a simple idea but so tasty. It’s supposed to be easy to bone a chicken leg.... not for me... I ended up using the scissors to do it, but I got it off in the end. Next time I’ll get the butcher to do it! So, apart from the faffing about deboning the leg it was very quick and easy to make. I just served mine with a salad. Aga conversion: I used a small baking tray on the top set of runners in the roasting oven. Took about 10-11 minutes as my Aga was running slightly cooler. Will I make this again? Yes I will

Chicken Satay Sandwich Recipe Book: Nigel Slater's Real Food  Buy the book here  Review: 5 stars for this one! Proper good! A real comfort food. It's not a healthy recipe, but by god it is good! If you like those chicken satay skewers with the peanut sauce that most good chinese takeaways do in the starter section of the menus, then you'll love this. I served mine on a baguette (you know those part baked ones that you can pick up in the supermarket, and I baked mine just before serving so they were nice and warm...Mmmmmm! I found it really easy and quick to make. Aga conversion: I mainly used the simmering plate for this recipe and then brought to the boil on the boiling plate. I baked the baguettes on the grid shelf on the bottom set of runner in the roasting oven for 8 minutes. Will I make this again? Yes definitely. # aga   # nigelslater   # nigelslater realfood   # chickensataysandwich

Spiced Indian Chicken Baguette Recipe Book: Nigel Slater's Real Food  Buy the book here  Review: Full on 5 stars for this one! It was excellent. Super tasty, a real Saturday night easy to make  and quite filling sandwich for when you don't want a full meal or to order a takeaway... Reasonably quick and easy to make. I used Asda chicken wings so ended up using about 8 as there wasn't a whole load of meat on them.  Apologies for the not great photo, I had cut my baguette in half and started eating it when I realised I hadn't taken a photo! Aga conversion: I deviated slightly with this recipe and roasted my wings in the Roasting Oven on the bottom set of runners for around 30  minutes. Did the spice bit in a small frying pan. Toasted the baguette in the toasting rack on the boiling plate. Will I make this again? Yes definitely. # aga   # nigelslater   # nigelslater realfood   # Spicedindianchickenbaguette

Grilled Mustard & Herb Chicken Recipe Book: Nigel Slater's Real Food  Buy the book here  Review: Full on 5 stars for this one! It was excellent. Super tasty, skin was crispy and the meat was moist, pure deliciousness. Quick to make and prep, although you do need to either marinade overnight in the fridge the night before or do it a couple of hours in advance. I did mine this morning after realising that it needed doing. I had already asked my butcher to remove the bones from the thighs so it made it a lot quicker. Basically chuck it all in a bowl, quick mix, cover and leave. I cooked mine 4 mins each side as per recipe but they needed another 2 mins a side longer as my thighs were fat. LOL. My husband was supposed to be having this for tea with me, so me being me, trying to be like super mega efficient (still in my outdoor gardening gear, I'll have you know), I went on iPhone Find Friends app as he had text me he was on the way home. So I looked and saw he w

Empire Roast Chicken with Bombay Roast Potatoes and Amazing Indian Gravy Recipe Book: Jamie Olivers Jamie's Great Britain - Buy this book   Link to the Recipe Review:  🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟  Wow! Off the blooming charts is this recipe as it is that good! Think a great roast chicken plus your favourite curry sauce combined! Now, the actual recipe is a bit ambiguous in places in my opinion. When making the marinade it states 2 lemons, I took this to be the juice of 2 lemons as it wasn't stated and in the Bombay style potatoes it states to use 1 lemon, but I've no idea where! I'm guessing to serve with the potatoes. I did a couple of substitutions as I'm fed up of my hands stinking of garlic and mistakenly rubbing my eyes after chopping chilli (yes I do actually do this!!! quite regularly too) so in the marinade I used 1 tbsp Garlic Purée, 1 tbsp Ginger puree and 1 tbsp very lazy chopped chillis. In the Bombay potatoes I substituted 1 fresh red chilli w
