Beef Curry with Peas
This beef curry with garden peas is far from being one of my ‘authentic Anglo Indian’ numbers but rather a pretty simplified curry that that leans heavily on a few Indian spices…
Beef & Lamb Recipes
Two types of meat that are a favourite of mine but very difficult to get your hands on in Rural Hungary, so you can be sure that the recipes in here are subject to great scrutiny as waste would be unthinkable ;)
Lamb Madras Curry
A Madras curry in the UK has a reputation of being somewhat of a one trick pony, a real fiery beast and not a lot else… However my lamb Madras curry has a little more about it but it certainly retains a fierce heat from both our own dried chili (cayenne) and lots of black pepper and all of it tempered with coconut milk.
Spicy Szechuan Beef Stir Fry
A wonderfully simple noodle based beef stir fry dish with hints of Szechuan pepper and chili and all ready in less than 20 minutes.
Old School Beef Stew with Dumplings
There ain’t no pussy footing around with this beef stew and suet dumpling recipe! It is pretty much the stew I remember eating growing up in the UK in the 1970’s. It is slowly cooked with pretty much the cheapest piece of beef you can get your hands on.
Spaghetti and Meatballs My Way!

Cottage Pie A Recipe From My Childhood
Cottage pie is one of the most enduring memories from my childhood, bot just from home but at my grandparents house, school dinners, friend houses… No matter where I went you could guarantee that cottage pie was never too far from the ‘menu’.

Bolognese Sauce Crock Pot Edition
This Bolognese Sauce represents my first foray into batch cooking on my site, I tend to cook quick, fast and fresh in summer but in winter I indulge another food love, slow cooking.
Indian Scotch Egg or Nargisi Kebab
I love Scotch Egg so imagine my joy when I stumbled across something called a nargisi kebab that was described as an Inidan Scotch egg in an Indian Restaurant in the UK about 10 years ago…
Real Hungarian Goulash or Gulyásleves
A ‘traditional’ Hungarian goulash or Gulyásleves is not the thick stew most people believe but it is rather a glorious and simple soup!
