Protein-Packed Pulled Chicken Ramen

It's that time of year again... a time for protein-rich, low-carb and nutrient-high grub. I know a number of people that try and hit that triple threat and end up in dry chicken breast and salad land. NOT today Zurg. (Veggie-hacks at the bottom of the post*).

Super Crispy Frying Pan Pizza

How this is not the go-to pizza cooking method at home I don't know. I can proudly call this the quickest and most effective way to get a super crispy base without the luxury of a wood fired oven. The key? A blazing hot frying pan and a maxed' out grill.

Basically Healthy Courgette & Feta Muffins

I must put my hand up immediately to say that this is the first time I've ever baked, bar maybe making bread in year 8 food tech. But I don't even recall trying the fruits of my labour then as the other classes in the tech department would linger outside the kitchen after lessons, pouncing on you and pecking your precious produce apart like pigeons. Puck' sake.

Chicken, Chorizo & Chipotle Club
