The City Kitchen King Prawn, Chicken and Chorizo Paella

The City Kitchen King Prawn, Chicken and Chorizo Paella

By Bill on October 14, 2010

“King prawn, chicken and chorizo paella, tomato & basil sauce with smoked Spanish paprika” My Tesco occasionally has a few meals from The City Kitchen (this drives me crazy; either you stock it or you don’t, choose for cryin’ out loud!) so I grabbed this one as paella is rare. The variety of rice used […]

M&S Super Wholefood Salad

M&S Super Wholefood Salad

By Bill on October 12, 2010

“Super wholefood salad with a mint vinaigrette” This isn’t my favorite salad in the M&S Super Wholefood line. It has loads of healthy stuff–edamame, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, lentils–but it’s just not as flavorful as their other salads. As advertised, it’s very minty, but that’s all I wrote while taking my tasting notes. It would make […]

Cully & Sully Chilli con Carne Hot Pot

Cully & Sully Chilli con Carne Hot Pot

By Bill on September 17, 2010

“A mighty Mexican chilli con carne made with Irish beef, rice, beans & gentle spices.” Chili isn’t a Mexican dish at all, but Mexican-American. The primordial chili of Texas contains beef, chiles (both dried and fresh), onions, cumin and little else. The “San Antonio Chili Stand” at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago introduced the […]

M&S Simply Fuller Longer Tomato & Basil Chicken with Couscous & Butternut Squash

M&S Simply Fuller Longer Tomato & Basil Chicken with Couscous & Butternut Squash

By Sharon on September 15, 2010

“Tomato & basil chicken, couscous & butternut squash with a sweet balsamic dressing.” Sharon rule: When it comes to food prep, the less the better. When left to my own devices, I’ll eat a progressive dinner of cheese and crackers, yogurt, peanut butter from a spoon, followed by whatever sweet thing is in the house. […]

M&S Super Wholefood Salad with a Lemon & Herb Dressing

M&S Super Wholefood Salad with a Lemon & Herb Dressing

By Bill on September 8, 2010

This is a beautiful salad. Red peppers, orange squash, green Tenderstem broccoli and asparagus, magenta pomegranate seeds on a beige canvas of couscous. The peppers and squash have real grill marks on them, not the painted-on kind. My wife loves this salad because the orange and green components aren’t the usual carrots and green beans […]

WeightWatchers Sweet & Sour Chicken with Long Grain Rice

WeightWatchers Sweet & Sour Chicken with Long Grain Rice

By Bill on September 5, 2010

“Succulent pieces of chicken breast covered in a delicious sweet and sour sauce with juicy pineapple, red and yellow peppers and crisp water chestnuts, served with fluffy long grain rice.” This is a guest review by my mate Barry. He’s a man of few words: “Warm. Bland. Tasteless. Rotten.” “Warm” is the best thing he […]

M&S  5-spice Chicken with Vegetables and Vietnamese-style Dressing

M&S 5-spice Chicken with Vegetables and Vietnamese-style Dressing

By Bill on August 6, 2010

“Carrots, peppers and mooli with five spice chicken and a Vietnamese style dressing.” Mooli? What the heck is mooli? At first I thought the white shavings were jicama, but a taste exposed them as radish. Apparently daikon radish is known in the U.K. and Ireland by its Hindi name, muuli. Makes more sense I suppose […]
