Shonette Laffy Christmas is quite a divisive thing, like Marmite or Fleetwood Mac. A lot of people claim to hate Christmas, which I find crazy – mainly because I can’t see how anyone could hate a time of year focused around parties, food, mulled beverages and John Candy films. I think the thing that gets… Read More A Very Saucy Christmas – Christmas Recipes and Tips
Lia Schopmeyer It’s been a very busy few weeks here at SaucyPans land. We had a lot of foodie related things going and had no time to actually cook ourselves! This had to be rectified with a delicious, belly-warming meal now that it actually is cold and not the fake cold that came a few… Read More The Not-So-Classic 3 French Onion Soup Recipe
I was dying to try out a new recipe for SaucyPans. I had some sort of leek, cabbage, lots of vege type dish in mind, a one-pot meal that’s warming in this weather (It’s not that cold but let’s pretend it is). When I asked on Twitter for any ideas, I got a request for… Read More Dauphinoise Potatoes Recipe – Feed the Millions Cheaply
I’ve always thought that it’s a bit pointless making pasta from scratch – it takes ages only for you to cram a forkful into your mouth and think ”Mmm, this is tasty, almost as good as the stuff from the shops!”. Pizza is open to much more experimentation and personalising, plus the dough is great… Read More Gnocchi yourself out! – A recipe for pasta pillows
I love spice. And not in that ridiculous, faux-macho ‘Give me the spiciest thing on the menu, and then chuck in another pound of chillis’ way. I like the way that a bit of heat can really heighten a dish or the flavours the different varieties of chillis add to a recipe. It’s a well-known… Read More Dhansak it to me! – An easy peasy curry recipe
Food trends are a definite thing. Somehow food and fashion have almost become inseparable with certain dishes promising a certain life style. Think of where pulled pork was two years ago, still in the states and not a commonly known term in Britain. In the last year or so ‘pulled pork’ as a term has… Read More The Ultimate Korean Comfort Food! Bibimbap Recipe
Sandwiches are great, who doesn’t like sandwiches? Nobody. I spent the best part of an afternoon reading through this Wikipedia List of Sandwiches the other week, and it was time impeccably and enjoyably spent, let me tell you. As well as being reminded of some of the well known greats such as the BLT, the… Read More What taco you so long? – Veggie Tacos Recipe
If you’re like me, you need no excuse to consume ice cream or lollies and will happily do so even in the depths of winter. However, if you are a bit odd and only like to munch on frozen treats in the summer, then here is a super simple recipe to keep you cool in… Read More My popsicles bring all the boys to the yard… – Vegan Ice Lollies Recipe
Only very rarely do we have prolonged hot weather in the UK, and when we do, we all fall apart a bit. We’re so unaccustomed to reliably good weather that at the first hint of sunshine we lie out in our tiny gardens, slap on the bare minimum of Factor 10 sunscreen and invite friends… Read More Lazy Day Dumplings – A (kinda) Korean Mandu Recipe
What happened to the sunshine? I had my heart set on a summer of making tropical gin smoothies and experimenting with hot salad combinations – all of this seems wholly inappropriate now that the temperature has dropped back below 10°c and every single pair of my shoes is soaked to oblivion. In the face of… Read More The Mac Daddy: 7 Cheeses Macaroni Cheese Recipe
