As our chilli shy older daughter was away at the weekend, I was able to indulge the rest of the family’s passion for chillies with this noodle dish. Aside from tasting great, chillies are packed with vitamins C, B6 and A and are a rich source of various flavinoids. Crab is a really good, lean […]

Crab and Chilli Noodles with Red Chicory and Broad Bean Salad
This recipe is packed with the Asian flavours of chilli, lime and coriander, and so it tastes delicious even if you are not able to buy fresh white crab meat. I generally use tinned crab, and have never received any complaints! I always serve this with a Red Chicory and Broad Bean Salad, the colours […]
Diabetic Thai Curry
After all the traditional Christmas fare, followed by some relatively unrestrained gorging of pizza, pasta, risotto and ice cream during our trip to Rome, it has been time to get back to healthy eating.

But this weekend they are coming to stay with us. Which is great, because […]

Spicy Scallop Skewers
These scallop skewers are delicious whether served very spicy, or with no heat at all for those with a delicate pallet: it’s easy to divide the scallops into 2 containers and pour over unspiced marinade in one, before adding in the chilli flakes to the remainder.
