If Monday were to be repeated every day for a month I would be dead soon thereafter. Seriously.

There is a reason why you rarely see me eating at a pub. Have you ever seen the menu?

I’ve died and gone to heaven. This is the Greedy Gourmet’s ghost speaking…erm, typing.

Chicken Strips and Pancetta with Asparagus

What is there not to love about asparagus? To me it always looks so elegant that I’ve deemed it the king of greens.
Beef & Mangetout Stir Fry

There are many cuts of beef you can use in stir-fries but the million dollar question is which one is the best? If money was no factor, I would have loved to use fillet steak but since we’re not exactly rolling in it I had to do some research.
Ginger Beer & Gin Cocktail

At the risk of sounding like a complete skinflint I’d like to moan and groan about cocktail prices in restaurants, bars and night clubs. Am I the only one who thinks they are hideously overpriced?!
Celeriac and Mascarpone Purée
Wednesday, 9 September 2009 By 2 Comments
Before I came to live in the UK I have never come across celeriac. When I asked people how to prepare it I was met with blank stares and shrugging shoulders. No one seemed to care. After all potato mash is the staple food in this country.
Ch’tiramisu
Monday, 31 August 2009 By 4 Comments
Ch’tiramisu is Northern France’s answer to Italy’s Tiramisu. What a strange name, I thought. Where is it from? A quick search on the net yielded very few English results and the rest were all in French. There is a famous French movie, called Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis, which means “welcome to the sticks”. “Ch’ti” means out in the country and is associated with the cold and rainy Nord-Pas-de-Calais region in Northern France where they also speak Ch’ti dialect.
Courgette and Avocado Pear Soup
Monday, 10 August 2009 By 6 Comments
This soup is definitely different from the rest. A rich, silky, green taste rolls over your tongue and slips into your stomach, satisfying it instantly. The star ingredient is the avocado. This fantastic idea comes from Mexico where avocados come aplenty and are used from starters to desserts, even drinks! Also, usually soups containing avocado are served cold, but this one is hot because here at Greedy Gourmet we like to be different.
