Homemade Takeaway Part 2: Curry Paste

While an onion curry gravy will form a nice base sauce for most curries, it is a curry paste that you really get all of your flavour from. The great thing about a curry paste, is that while it may contain a variety of complex spices, making it is incredibly easy, and using it is even easier: simply fry your vegetables or meat in the paste, add the base sauce and you will have yourself a cur...

Tasty Quickie: Sesame Steak Salad with Soy Dressing

I like salad a lot, but it needs to have substance. Nothing gets my culinary goat more than being served a few flaccid lettuce leaves coated in a pissy mayonnaise dressing. This salad however, has a steak in it, which is essentially enough said. Crisp carrots and spring onions give it plenty of bite, while deep green leaves, beetroot and rich soy dressing give it plenty of flavour.

Tasty Quickie: Creamy Tomato and Pepper Pasta

Pasta dishes to have become a regular fixture here on BitchBuzz. The simple reason for this is they can’t be beaten for cheapness, easiness and quickness, while there are so many sauce combinations that delicious flavour needn’t go out of the window. This is a dish I threw together this weekend in an attempt to use up a stray bit of Boursin in a way other than slathering it on a baguette (not that there is anything wrong with that, but guess where the other half of the packet went!). ...

How To BBQ On The Cheap: It's Easier Than You Think

It seems to be a very cultural thing in the UK that when the sun is out, the world seems to stop, rip off its shirt and whistfully run out into the nearest patch of grass and set up a BBQ. (And then go and stand in a 20 minute long queue just for an ice cream cone.) BBQs are the thing to do. Every weekend the UK prays for sun. Most weekends we're left no choice but to sit indoors, drinking and cursing the weather. But every once and a while, we're blessed with the weather that seeming...

You Tight Bitch: Homemade Takeaway, Part One

I have made a million curries, but even though they often turn out delicious, they always have a homemade taste to them that never quite lives up to the local tandoori. Considering how much we all must end up spending on takeaway food, being able to create takeaway curry at home would undoubtedly be a huge money saver, and with the right ingredients, it is surprisingly easy. Being able to control the amount of fat and salt in the dishes when they’re homemade is also a huge bonus.

Tasty Quickie: Chili Lime Chicken with Mango

This week, apparently, is National Mango Week. It would seem that exotic fruit mongers Rubicon are behind the week, which doesn’t smell suspiciously like a marketing ploy at all. Fruit juice companies do this thing all the time, because they like fruit and care about our nutrition, right?
