Cooking is what I do, what I think about and largely what I dream about… If you do not count beer of course, which as far as I am concerned is a food group! Most of the recipes you find here will be dinner or lunch recipes, and they will mainly be complete or the recommended sides will be very simple!
Some of my recipes are simple, some of my recipes are complicated, likewise, some of my meals are light and ‘healthy’ and others are downright naughty. All of them, however, get my wifes seal of approval and are extremely tasty!
So grab a glass of something cold and find yourself something for dinner for you and yours!
Latest Recipes
Chicken Hotpot
It is definitely warming comfort food season and my chicken hotpot recipe definitely fits into that category. Flavour filled chicken thighs are cooked on the bone in a roux-thickened sauce. A sauce that is flavoured with wholegrain and dijon mustard and some thyme.
Stuffed Leeks With Cider and Pear Sauce
The idea behind this stuffed leeks recipe came from a Hungarian magazine I was flipping through. I love leeks, they are the mildest of the onion family and never really thought of using them as a way to hold together a stuffing before.
Chicken Dhansak
I have used the phrase many times here on krumpli, a curry is never just a curry! This chicken dhansak recipe is another one that demonstrates the diversity of that simple name.
Roast Pork Chops With Beans
These roast pork chops represent a slightly different approach to cooking than my norm. What can I say I like to play and change things up in the kitchen. I guess you could call this a casserole or a stew, throwing things together and getting them to cook in the oven is something I don't often do.
Pasta e Fagioli: Italian Pasta and Bean Soup
The classic Italian pasta and bean soup, pasta e fagioli is a hearty simple big flavoured soup. Whether it be a minestrone or ribollita the Italians have a fine portfolio of comforting simple soups.
Chicken Curry Noodles
Curries are very much close to my food heart and this Chicken Curry Noodles recipe is very much a fun quick take on a curry. Like my recent beef noodle soup recipe, this is ready in under 30 minutes and is full of big hearty flavours.
Whole Roast Duck With Scalloped Potatoes and Red Cabbage
Well, where do I start with this whole roast duck recipe… It is wonderfully old fashioned, about as British as it gets and as delicious as any dish I have ever cooked.
Skillet Turkey Meatball Pasta Bake
Pasta bake recipes are a huge tick in the box for comfort food heaven. Cheesy goodness all baked in the oven that is easy to scale up and down make it a cooks and eaters delight. My turkey meatball pasta bake recipe is our current go-to favourite.
Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin With Cabbage and Lentils
The bacon wrapped pork tenderloin dish is surprisingly quick for a dinner recipe of this sort. It features the classic flavour combinations of bacon, cabbage, and mustard, many would say classically Irish.
Indonesian Braised Pork
I am always on the hunt for new stew recipes at this time of year. This braised pork stew from South East Asia is my latest discovery. This Babi Chin recipe is essentially pork cooked in a dark soy sauce based stock. It is superb, dark, sweet, salty and all sorts of comforting.
Beef Noodle Soup
I love a good bowl of soup and this easy beef noodle soup joins a couple of chicken noodle soup recipes here on Krumpli. In the main, the ingredients in this quick soup recipe are store cupboard essentials. Well, they are for me anyway, soy sauces and rice wine are as common a feature in my pantry as salt and pepper.
Salami and Leek Pasta
If there is an ingredient better than pasta at being a midweek meal life saver I have no idea what it is. 10-12 minutes to cook and will work with practically any ingredient you have in your fridge or cupboard. Here we have a salami and leek pasta!
Chicken Tagine With Dried Apricots and Almonds
This chicken tagine recipe makes me come over all Julie Andrews, it contains so many of my favourite things! We have a little bit of heat of course from the chili… Then we have North African influences and fruit and nuts in a savoury recipe.
Pan Fried Duck Breast With Broccoli Puree and Honey Roast Parsnips
Duck is no stranger to my site and it is a meat I wished we ate more of, it is gloriously rich and decadent. It has bags more flavour than chicken and is super simple to cook.
Indian Venison Meatballs
These Indian inspired spicy venison meatballs are not the first Indian meatballs here on Krumpli. They join my Chicken Kofta Meatballs and they are a fine addition even if I do say so myself!
Easy Thai Salmon Curry
I have no idea why there are no Fish Curry recipes on my site as yet and this easy salmon curry will probably open the floodgates. This recipe definitely falls into the curry in a hurry category!
Chinese Braised Ham Hock in Black Bean Sauce
This braised Chinese ham hock recipe is really special and uses one of the many underrated cuts of meat. If you are cooking on a budget these are the cuts of meat you really need to be buying!

Sandwich recipes are few and far between here on Krumpli but this pulled beef recipe is the perfect sandwich filling.
