Green Pea Pate Pates are so easy to make. And they are all generally variations of the same theme. On the Demuth’s course we made a broad bean pate or dip. Here on the boat we did not have broad beans but we did have green peas. Nor here in France could we not get …
Red Cabbage, Mixed Leaf, Feta and Tomato Salad with Finn Crisp Crackers
Red cabbage, leaf, feta and tomato salad with Finn Crisp crackers Here is a typical lunch for us when we are at home. When we are out and about, I must confess it’s a different story. When eating on the run it’s a hundred, thousand times harder to find good wholesome food. And I can …

Curried Coleslaw and Vegetarian Lincoln Sausages
Curried Coleslaw and Vegetarian Lincoln Sausages Coleslaw is a great low carb salad. But – the mayonnaise dressing can be high in fat.

Nut Roast with Creamed Curry Spinach and Fresh Plum and Vegetable Salad
Nut Roast with Creamed Curry Spinach and Fresh Plum and Vegetable Salad Gosh, when I look at the amount of food on this plate, I almost feel bad. Especially when we watch these cooking shows on the BBC and see the puny portions that fine dining push out. But then pathetic portions one of the very …
Bean Salad with Carrot Andhra Curry
Bean Salad with Carrot Andhra Curry I’m still maintaining Patrick’s blog while he is doing his bit for the oil industry. Patrick is without doubt the stir fry and curry expert.

Last of the Indian summer
Andhra Carrot Curry We are great believers in using up what we have, rather than throwing it away and buying more. When Karen went back to SA she left me a well stocked fridge, amongst which were a lot of carrots. Also being on an Indian crusade, I had all the spices. What to make? I …
