Sod the Diet

On Friday, I cooked for friends. I love cooking and I love doing it for mates. So if you want a meal give me a shout!!!

Anyway, here I am about to cook for friends and I turn to a recipe book given to me recently. It’s called “Sod the Diet” and it was written by Malcolm Harris and his alter-ego Shamus the Chef. He wrote it when he lived in Australia and so it definitely has a certain tang to it. It is a humorous approach to serious cooking and full of very interesting recipes. So I open and go looking…..

Well, a big up to Malc. This book is brilliant. In fact to good. Too many nice looking recipes and when you read how to make them you realise how simple. So I chose Lemon Peppered Chicken Goujon Salad with honey-chilli dipping sauce. Brilliant. Brilliant and did I mention brilliant. Very easy to make and I am told very tasty (I don’t eat meat). The salad that went with it was in superb company.

What did the guests say. “There was simply nothing wrong with the meal”. That simple.

If you want the book, buy Sod the Diet at The Cafe Academy and enjoy a calorie fest!
