Recipes

Recipe’s are not my normal thing – but I thought that I would start sharing the ones that I like and make (and the tweaks that I try). Also, the random things that I pair together, that end up being nommie. Sometimes – it’s a fridge mashup. I really enjoy playing around in the kitchen. With my background (training), I know a lot about meat science, however, I am learning about baking and other food sciences. I wanted bread. Homemade bread. So I decided to make some and I used an Admiral bread maker that I got at GoodWill and...

Despite wanting to do a full shop I decided to grab what I could and save the big shop for in a few days’ time. The meat counters had been cleared, and there were no fresh vegetables left. Just a few wonky carrots, and a couple off oddly shaped spuds. The processed meat section of the fridge looked the only part of the shop looking replenished,...

Ground beef tacos are definitely nothing gourmet or fancy but if you’re like me you grew up eating them often. I had many friends over for Taco Night. These ground beef tacos are the perfect mash up of flavors in my book. The soft taco shells are a great addition to the filling which is meaty and slightly liquidy.

There was a recent episode of The Office where Nellie, the new British office manager, encounters a taco for the first time...
