This chicken and chorizo burritos recipe was devised when I had a hankering for wraps and rice and spice and chicken. We all love a bit of Mexican food here at Blunty’s, although there is alot of it that Charles hasn’t tried yet. It has become a small mission of mine to broaden both of […]
For this week’s recipe tester, we’re all about Akis’ Sticky Lemon Chicken. If you haven’t come across Akis Petretzikis yet, he has a brilliant YouTube channel which has been given alot of publicity by Jamie Oliver’s Food Tube network. His recipes are pretty simple, and not always authentic, but generally they look pretty tasty, and […]
These caramelised onion cheese straws are a bit like something that featured in one of Charles’ earliest recipes, but with my parents coming to visit, I thought we ought to put on a bit of a party for them in the new house. As they were going to be arriving late on Friday evening, I got a […]

This easy enchilada sauce recipe is for those of you, like me, who have been tempted into buying those Old El Paso/Discovery enchilada kits one too many times. They’re such a waste of money and ultimately leave you feeling full of salt and preservatives. We’ve all had a bash at making fajitas from scratch, or […]
This isn’t just lemon curd. This isn’t even our lemon curd – it’s Nigel Slater’s Lemon Curd. This post is a bit of a departure from our usual style. Whilst we have a couple of recipes waiting in the wings, we have to be honest and admit that when it comes to the classics, we […]
Have you ever had a hankering for a specific type of food but been short on one specific but vital ingredient? I don’t know how many times I’ve been sure I had enough plain flour only to find that I only had about 100g in the cupboard without knowing how to shrink a recipe. Vexing. […]
