Hi everyone! I've been testing out the recipes on  +Foodtube Viewing   and what can I say? I tried @aaroncraze1 Jamaican Ginger Cake and it was worth the minimum effort that it required!

Hi Everyone, As another blog goes past another compliment comes through! First from Ian Walker and then none other than Micky Hazard! It was truly a blessing! To top off another week Sir Graham Roberts @grahamroberts4 tweeted me and told me that his favourite dish is Steak. Well he didn't specify which kind of steak? Lamb, Pork or Beef; so I presumed Beef..non other than Rump Steak! Thinking of a nice tribute to Graham I decided to try something healthy, hearty but something different! I went Asian inspired and I hope he approves. Here is what you will need... For the Steak One good bit of Rump Steak 3 Tablespoons of Dark Soy 3 Tablespoons of Lea & Perrins A thumb sized knob of grated Ginger Szechuan Pepper A quarter of a Lime Zest of the quarter of a Lime A drop of Sesame Oil For the Salad Four Chestnut Mushrooms or an arrangement of Oyster Mushrooms?

Time for some birthday joy! It's Micky Hazard's 30th birthday!! To celebrate I made up an easy and I guess balanced recipe for the good man himself! You will need... 2 legs of jointed Chicken drumsticks and thighs (Free Range if you can, but get what you can afford? I won't tell) Salt and Pepper 10 tbsp of plain flour 1 tbsp Cumin 1 tbsp Paprika 1/2 tbsp Cayenne Pepper 1 tbsp dried Thyme 1/2 tbsp Onion powder 1/2 tbsp Garlic powder 1 litre of Sunflower or Corn Oil Well first take your chicken out and pat it dry...moisture will upset the hot oil. Now leave this to get at room temperature. In a bowl, put all the flour and spices in then combine it all together; don't forget the salt and pepper! Now in get your oil hot to 180 degrees (be bloody careful!) if you're using a large pan (big enough to fit all the chicken), put a lump of bread or potato in the cold oil and when they turn crisp and brown it's ready! Like this... Now seas...

Hi Everyone! Over Christmas I had the pleasure of getting a tweet from our former goal keeper Ian Walker. I asked him what he would like for him to be cooked and he mentioned that Steffan Freund made a lovely Turkey Salad. So I thought why not try and make a Turkey Curry which has all the balanced health values for a Sport's man. What you'll need is: 500g of Turkey thigh 100ml light Soy Sauce (Low Salt version) 300ml of full fat or low fat coconut milk 3 Kaffir Lime Leaves 2 Spring Onions 1 Red Chilli Curry Paste 2 Lemon Grass 4-6 Red Birds Eye Chilli A thumb piece of Ginger 2 cloves of Garlic A hand full of Coriander stalks 2 tbsp of Sunflower or Vegetable Oil 1 tbsp of Turmeric OK, first off throw all the ingredients for the Curry paste into a blender or pestle and mortar and ground to a paste, leave this to let the flavours mingle Now, season the Turkey thighs cutlets with some Salt and Pepper and sear them off into a pan. Do this in batches ...
