What's it all about?

I love cooking, and more importantly, eating good food and I set up this blog to share my favourite recipes, links and ideas with my friends and family.

I am a home cook. Not a particularly distinguished or accomplished one, but someone who simply enjoys honest, fresh and delicious food. I don’t enjoy pretentious restaurants and 'over done' dishes- the kind that you are afraid touch to with your fork for fear of ruining them! And for this reason, every recipe you find here will be simple and open to interpretation. I also believe it’s important to put your own stamp on the food you make so please feel free to change things and substitute ingredients as you wish. Enjoy!

Chocohotpots

Because there’s not always a store nearby which sells those little Gü chocolate soufflés when you need them!... gooey chocolatey goodness in just ten minutes

Ingredients
  • 150gms caster sugar
  • 125gms butter
  • 125gms plain flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 125gms dark chocolate
  • 5 ramekins

Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C or gas mark 6
  2. Grease the ramekins with a little butter and place on a baking tray
  3. Put the chocolate and butter in a bowl and melt in the microwave- this should take about 2mins but you will need to take it out and stir roughly every 30secs (you don’t want the chocolate to burn.)
  4. In a bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, flour and melted chocolate/butter mix until smooth- just chuck it all in together.
  5. Pour into the ramekins and bake for 15mins.
  6. Eat immediately with a big dollop of cream, yum!
