It's been a while since I have posted a recipe, and yet this is my real passion. This doesn't mean to say I haven't been cooking and experimenting, I have, but just haven't got around to posting any of the recipes. Those of you who follow No Waste Tastes Great, will know that last Thursday in anticipation of having some tomatoes left over (from a very kind ...

Simple Slow Cooked Coconut and Jerk Chicken with Rice
Good Morning Guys! Before I get cracking on the sentimental hoard I need to get in a relaxed mood by sharing a favourite recipe from Chez Wright! The original recipe came from my favourite slow cooker book - Ultimate Slow Cooker by Sara Lewis. (not an affiliate link) I've adapted the recipe to include less ingredients and therefore make it more frugal ...
Slow Cooked Carrot, Ginger and Lentil Soup Recipe
This is a recipe that I have been promising to post for quite some time! I first had it late last summer, when a dear friend of mine (who I had converted to slow-cooking) made it for me. The inspiration behind the recipe comes from Sara Lewis' Book 'Ultimate Slow Cooker' but I have simplified the process and the ingredients further - to the same fantastic ...
Mid March Update As Promised/Threatened!
For those of you with ultra long memories (or those who give a rats ass actually care what I am up to - haha!) I promised a Mid-March Update. This was initially an update on My Simple Exercise and Eating Plan to shift the Mum Tum. Well guess what? I have failed. I have a lovely long list of all the reasons I did not succeed in reducing my waistline, but ...
No Waste Tastes Great – 4 Feb 2011
It's Friday Guys! It's No Waste Tastes Great at Chez Wright! This Friday however is a special Friday as it's the Hubby's Birthday. As a special treat I am taking him out for a Balti and a Beer (you can see why he married me) :-) Birthday or not, I still take food waste seriously and take part in Food Waste Friday over at The Frugal Girl, so have been ...
Slow Cooked Chicken and Vegetables in Beer Stew
In January 2004 I won an international beer drinking competition at the bottom of a beautiful mountain in Whistler BC. I'm not sure it would be 'the' international beer drinking competition (speed not quantity to clarify) if there is such a thing - but I was still quite proud of my achievement. I was young - what can I say? Miss Japan shook my hand in awe ...
Simple Slow Cooked Minty Lamb Casserole
I've recently rediscovered lamb, as an alternative meat. Lamb isn't a cheap meat to buy, but tends to be a quality meat so worth the extra spend. It's amazing slow-cooked, with great flavour and texture. A really satisfying dish during the cold winter months. It's also a hit with my Kids, who for some reason aren't overly keen on chicken at the ...
No Waste Tastes Great – 26th November
As always, on a Friday I take part in Food Waste Friday over at The Frugal Girl I thought I would share my Friday routine this week as I try to be one organised lady when it comes to the kitchen and food! Each week I allocate about 1-2 hours after the school run to do the following: Firstly I clean the counter tops Secondly I grab a dry marker and my ...
Simple Slow Cooked Ham in Cola
The inspiration behind this recipe began a few years back when I was gifted a copy of Nigella Bites. I love this recipe book as it contains some slightly unusual combinations of food which appeal to my adventurous nature. Nigella's recipe is time and ingredient consuming and the side dish of sweetcorn pudding is a little ingredient intense and too sweet ...
Slow Cooked Pork with Apple and Celery Mash
This slow cooked pork is so simple to make, and very tasty. Not the cheapest meal - as pork is on the expensive side, but the rest of the meal is very frugal as it comprises of fruit and veg. Slow Cooked Pork with Apple and Celery Mash - Serves 4-6 depending on the size of Pork Joint you use I cooked this for the first time on Sunday and was really ...
