The night of the storm: Seasoned Chicken Breasts, Tommy Pasta, and Coleslaw Hello kind readers! BBC1 here. What a dreadful Monday here in Britain!

Onion Bhajis
Onion Bhajis Hi folks BBC2 here, I hope you are all well and have got back into the swing of the week. As BBC1 has posted his Curried Minced Beef and Vegetables (Keema), which was such a success I have to say! This leads me to confess that the minced beef curry that I made … Continue reading
Curried Beef Mince and Vegetables (Keema)
Curried Minced Beef and Vegetables (Keema) Hello friends! BBC1 here. I hope you’ve had the kind of weekend you wanted and all is fine in your world.

Max’s Tuna and Rice Treats
Max’s Rice and Tuna Treats BBC2 here I hope you are all well! I feel the need to readdress a small issue with regards to the Bread Pudding recipe. BBC1 has written that I stole this from his mother, I can understand why he would think that as sometimes I can conveniently forget the truth, … Continue reading
Milton’s Spicy Sausage and Potato Soup
Milton’s Spicy Sausage and Potato Soup Hello wonderful visitor! BBC1 here.

Coconut Vicky Sponge with Cream & Strawberry Jam
Coconut Vicky Sponge with Cream & Strawberry Jam Hi BBC2 here I hope you are all well.

Old Fashioned Bread Pudding
Old Fashioned Bread Pudding Hi BBC2 here and I have been baking bread over the last week or so and ended up with three half loaves of bread going stale, doh! I decided to make a bread pudding so I popped the end of a leftover loaf in the freezer until I had enough left … Continue reading
Stuffed Keema Naan
Stuffed Keema Naan Hello lovely visitor! BBC1 here: Well, BBC2, or should I say Bargain Buyer Cook2, has been at it again. He just can’t resist a bargain, as a few of our groaning cupboards would testify! Whilst frugal and useful in these recession hit times, it can be a mixed blessing. Especially when you … Continue reading
Pear Tart
Pear Tart Hi BBC2 here. BBC1 doesn’t like the taste of almonds, I tell you this because it does have a bearing on what I can bake. For instance, last Christmas I baked my first Christmas cakes because we went to visit friends and family who like the taste of marzipan that goes with Christmas … Continue reading
Corned Beef & Cheese Pinwheels
Corned Beef and Cheese Pinwheels BBC1 here. Many moons ago I was a residential social worker, working in children’s homes. In one of these homes, the children came from ‘inner city’ Hackney, but were placed in ‘leafy middle class’ Woodford. Anyway, during a school holiday, I suggested to the kids we had a ‘picnic’. They … Continue reading
Cheese & Onion Pinwheels
Cheese and Onion Pinwheels Hey folks! Sorry not posted anything for several days. We have had ‘technical’ difficulties. In other words, BBC2 hasn’t got a clue, and I’ve been too lazy to sort it out! LOL😄. But we met some lovely people for the first time the other day and made a few new, and … Continue reading
