  Quick Chickpea & Mushroom Curry

  Dec 30th

  Now folks, here’s my top tip going into 2016. Don’t go buy yourself a new laptop. No matter how old your current one is, cling on to it for dear life. Give it CPR if you must. Why? Because it will prove to be two of the most painful days of your recent existence. More painful than the half marathon. And far less rewarding. Well, if you’re moi anyway. Perhaps you’ve got a little leprechaun dancing around showering you with luck. Perhaps banks and Macbook Pros actually like you. And don’t find pleasure in trying to a) humiliate, b) inconvenience/time waste or c) completely and utterly zap any sort of hope from you. Right at this moment it’s 10.18pm (yay for typing out posts that you actually handwrote!) and I’m curled up in bed feeling like, well, poo. Sorry, there’s no other way to put it. Continue reading →

  Sri Lankan Coconut Pumpkin Curry

  I’ve been distinctly depressed this week. Perhaps that’s a misuse of the term. Not in a serious-mental-health-sense, but more so the downhearted, disconsolate kind. What triggered this bout of dejectedness? I ashamed to say. Twas the film Insurgent. Alrighty, don’t judge too harshly! More specifically (and in a similar line to the Hunger Games etc. – i.e. those kinds of movies) it was the female protagonist in particular who prompted this downhearted spell. Why? They’re so goddam baddass it hurts. Never fail, every time I watch these kinds of films I want to a) be them or b) become a stunt artist. Neither of which is going to happen. Reality check. It’s not the killing, heart/gut wrenching situations, the perpetual fear/anxiety or even the complicated-yet-passionate blooming romance I’m after, nuh-uh. It’s that sense of being strong, of giving it absolutely everything and then some more, of wholly devoting yourself to a cause/situation. Of being fearless – “take my hand, drag me headfirst, fearless” (obligatory T-Swizzle reference there; it appears we’re letting loose with all the dorky confessions today!). Continue reading →

  Pear and Lentil Curry

  Posted at 8:45 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  Jun 26th

  Unattractive meals are the bane of my existence. They make me want to stamp my foot and tear my hair out. It feels so unjust when you spend hours slaving (can you call it slaving when you’re enjoying it?) in the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal, only to be rewarded with a dish that looks like something the cat brought it. Humph. I have to admit that styling is not my strong point – I don’t have an artistic bone in my body. But I do try. Well, sometimes. Needless to say, I am extremely jealous of one of my good friends at cooking school who has an innate knack for presenting dishes beautifully. If she doesn’t go on to become a food stylist I will eat my boots. Continue reading →
