Back from a week in Normandy with extended family. Fresh croissants, excellent galletes in St Lo, Friuts de Mer in Bayeux, and all started with yummy beef cooked by my sister. Must remember to get her bbq chicken recipe (although it might be very similar!)
1 kilo braising steak
1 onion
6 fl oz tomato ketchup
4 fl oz water
1 tsp mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Brown meat then add all ingredients to slow cook pot on low for minimum of 12 hours
I started this blog as a place for me to record evening menu plans for a week for my family of four, somewhere to store the recipes I have on scraps of paper or in my head and potentially where kids can access their mother's recipes in the years to come. Both 'kids' are good cooks in their own right. Some years on and it is now also a place I can share recipes with friends. Enjoy!
About the family
Me - I am a working mother of 2. I love cooking, when I get time, and planning out or at least having ideas for evening meals during the week helps considerably.
Mr B - the other main cook and a very good one too, but he does like to follow a recipe to the letter.
E - eldest child. Has been a pescatarian for a number of years now.
M - tallest of the family even though the youngest. Along with Mr B an out and out carnivore.
Recipes We're based in the UK so you'll find a mix of measurements for my recipes. Where possible I have linked to online recipes from some of my favourite cooks and their cook books.
If you need any clarification do add a comment to the recipe and I will get back to you.
