Where on Earth has May gone? I spent so long enjoying the gorgeous weather we've been having here in the UK and getting stuck into gardening that I completely forgot to post a May recipe. Oops. So, you're getting a June double instead. These Stuffed mushrooms are the perfect summer recipe and I've really enjoyed … Continue reading Three Cheese and Chive Stuffed Mushrooms
If you are a long time follower of Pesky Recipes, you'll know how much I love Greece and Greek food. Each Greek island has it's own regional dishes, and this one is from Mykonos. Mykonos is a strange place. It's quite barren, thanks to the hot temperatures and strong winds, so isn't green and lush … Continue reading Mykonian Onion Pie
My Croque Voila is a combination of the famous French brunch dishes, Croque Madame and Croque Monsieur. There are lots of different versions of both, but basically, a Croque Monsieur consists of cheese and ham sandwiched between slices of bread, with béchamel sauce on top, then toasted. A Croque Madame is the same, without the béchamel sauce, … Continue reading Croque Voila
Quiche and salad is a staple summertime lunch for me, and this Spinach and Ricotta Quiche is particularly tasty. It's light, creamy and really easy to make. As always, you can of course, use ready made pastry, but I do recommend giving my wholemeal shortcrust pastry a go, as it really adds something to the … Continue reading Spinach and Ricotta Quiche

(See my post How To Be A Healthy Pesky/Veggie/Vegan for more info on this if … Continue reading Cheese, Tomato and Chive Omelette

If you're anything like me, you've been surviving off cheese and wine for a week, and ready to introduce some decent food back into your diet. But going cold … Continue reading Baked Basa in Parsley Sauce
I know, I know. It's a weird name, but that's what I call them. If you have a better suggestion, let me know! They're yummy little puff pastry parcels with gooey cheese, herbs and chutney inside. Like a posh, mini cheese pasty, if you will. They make brilliant nibbles to have with drinks, or as … Continue reading Posh Cheese Puffs

Whether you're planning a Halloween party or just want some creepy treats to snack on whilst watching horror films, I'll have something for you. But before we get onto the new stuff, … Continue reading This is Halloween, This is Halloween . . .
Mexican food was always my go-to option whenever I had people round for dinner when I first moved out and started learning how to cook. Chilli Con Carne (recipe here) was the first recipe I ever mastered, and my friends loved it. Then I discovered the Fajita and Enchilada kits you can buy in supermarkets. … Continue reading Black Bean Quesadillas
