One of the joys of blogging is being inspired by other bloggers. Eliane over at faites simple has challenged herself to plan her week's meals in advance on Sunday evening and to make better use of her 'embarrassingly unused cookbook library'.
This is something I have tried at various points in my life. When I succeed it transforms my week. No more midday panics over what we're going to eat that evening, no getting halfway through a recipe only to discover that I'm missing a key ingredient, no nasty discoveries at the back of the fridge ...
So this week I'll be (mainly) cooking from Rose Prince's the new english kitchen.
Monday
Haggis, neeps & tatties (in celebration of Rabbie Burns)
Tuesday
Baked chick peas, peppers & potatoes with yoghurt sauce
Wednesday
Butternut squash risotto
Thursday
Braised red lentils with lime juice & feta
Friday
Tamarind fish stew (from the freezer)
Saturday
Chicken curry (from the freezer)
Sunday
Beef braised with rhubarb
Beef braised with rhubarb ? It would make the beef beautifully tender ...
ReplyDeleteAnd seeing your neeps and tatties has made me want mince'n'tatties NOW .
The balance between the beef and rhubarb wasn't quite right, but it's a winning combination.
