Spabbity Cooking Tips!

I've spent my 10,000 hours in the kitchen, not through particularly trying, but simply because I'm old, and like cooking. Cooking for me is great, but only when I have enough time to enjoy it, which isn't easy with a full time job etc! So here is my collection of tips - these have been acquired over those 10,000+ hours and, well every day is a school day - never close your mind to doing something differently. If you make use of even one of them, then my job is done :) … Continue Reading

Spabbit’s 20 Minute Kip Masala Boom Boom

This curry is a cheat. It's quick, dirty and completely gorgeous, it's in the rough neighbourhood of a tikka-masala taste wise, but with a hell of a lot more kick - thick and creamy in texture but with lots of sauce it should easily see you through a cold winter day or two! If you've got everything to hand in your kitchen, this can be raw to done in around 20 minutes, with perhaps another 10/15 for thickening up the sauce a little more to your liking.

Spabbit’s Samosa-Noods

"WTF?" I hear you say! Yes, this is a straight-outta-spabbit insane recipe - who in their right mind would even imagine cooking noods in a samosa filling?! Spabbit loves Fusion Foods, and this one attempt, love or loathe, these noods taste fantastic :) [I'm thinking at this point, this recipe counts as Fusion-Junk-Food!] … Continue Reading

Uncle Roger always knows best!

For those of you [like you three wierdos] who don't browse YouTube every day until your eyes bleed, you may not have stumbled across Nigel NG, aka Uncle Roger. This guy is amazing, and has recently produced a video taking Jamie Oliver to bits with his so-called-fried-rice - the results are hilarious. As a reasonable chef myself, I agree with everything Uncle Roger says! #MSGMASSIVE

Go subscribe to his channel if you haven't already!

Nigel NG also has a podcast called Rice to Meet You!

Spabbit’s Chilli Con Carne

This Chilli Con is a recipe which I have refined over the years, some of the ingredients have been swapped around due to availability over time - this is the latest iteration of the recipe. Whilst there are a few ingredients which aren't found that often in every kitchen, most of them should be available either online or in your local deli. The measurements are all approximate, the recipe will get you in the target zone, but as with all good recipes it's up to the chef to fine-tine to their own preferences. I hope you enjoy! … Continue Reading

Spabbit’s Spicy Noods

I love these Spicy Noods and they’re so healthy, the recipe is mine – influenced by the basic flavours of Singapore Noodles, but with an Indian slant, plus some Spanish smoke from the PimentĂłn 🙂 Cooking a batch on the weekend means a healthy spicy lunch to keep you going through the week.…

Recipe: Spabbit’s Chana Masala

Chana Masala❤ Chana Masala!

This is one of the cheapest side or main dishes to make, it’s quick, easy, and very tasty to boot. This whole recipe would cost under three pounds, or in American terms (Assuming approximately the same pricing) $3.50. I liked my latest batch so much I ended up eating it cold with some tortilla chips 🙂

This is also ideal for #lockdown cooking in any well stocked kitchen!…

Recipe: Sweet Waffles (No Sugar!)

This recipe will produce delicious Sweet Waffles which can be served with basically anything your imagination can churn out 🙂

This is my spin on the Sweet Waffle Recipe, it has no sugar, instead relying on Splenda (Sucralose) to provide the sweet crispy kick that is expected and welcome with sweet Waffles!…
