Quick Calabrian Lasagna

  One of Meat and Tater Man’s favourite meals is lasagna.  My daughter also loves this, and has the capacity to gobble up multiple servings of it, unlike other foods (like certain vegetables), which she nearly never seems to have any room for come supper time.  When I ask what they want for supper, they […]

Airport Potatoes

I came across this interestingly titled recipe in a book called Good Cooking: The New Essentials by Jill Dupleix, an Australian born, London based cookery writer. I love Jill’s recipes and writing – they are simple, to the point, and are damn good. The benefit of being a well traveled writer is that you get […]
