I’ve seen katsu curry on the menu a few times at our local Japanese but it’s known for being rather high in points. Having been craving it for a while, this week I thought I would see if I rustle up a low point version

Creamy Mustard Baked Chicken with Roast Potatoes and Green Beans – only 11sp!

Chicken on the bone is one of my favourite ways to eat meat and so I’m always trying to think of new ways to cook it. Last night, after my OH took chicken thighs out to defrost, a colleague at work mentioned the old crème

Five Spice Hoisin Duck Pancakes with Mango Slaw and Sticky Rice – 13sp

I’m a huge fan of Chinese duck pancakes but often find the standard shop bought hoisin a bit plain and dull. This recipe (an adaptation from a good food recipe) spices things up a bit and takes hoisin to a whole new level, The mango

We’ve just moved offices at work so, where as I used to head to Eat for lunch on the go, the closet place to my desk these days is the lovely Pret-a-Manger. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the salads and soups in Pret.
