  • Cajun spiced salmon and prawn

    Very tasty and easy to prepare fish dish. If you follow the recipe verbatim, it is quite spicy which may not suit everyone. If you want to tone down the spiceiness, omit the cayenne pepper and the chili flakes. If you want to turn the heat up, substitute Szechuan pepper for the black pepper. Best of all, this recipe only needs 1 pan for the salmon and the prawns and 1 for the rice.

    • 4 salmon fillets

    This is very much a "seat of the pants" recipe and everyone I've given it to has modified it to suit their families tastes. Some only use 1 can of tuna, some substitute baby spinach for the shallots, some omit the olives, some use highly flavoured tomato sauces and some prefer plain old ordinary…

  • Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup

    A delicious soup but if you have a smaller slow cooker (most are 4 litres or smaller) you will need to adjust the quantities as this is based on a 6 litre slow cooker. This is very, very filling and , if the vegetables are diced finely, very easy to swallow. You can run the completed soup through a blender if there are any swallowing issues.

  • Slow Cooker Chinese Pepper Steak

    Simple to make and delicious with rice. It's not overly hot as it only has 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, but you can add more black pepper, or substitute with cayenne pepper, schizuan pepper or chili paste or if you like it hotter. If you have issues slicing the beef thinly enough, place it in the freezer the night before and then slice it while frozen - much, much easier. You'll need to allow additional time for the…
