I’m going to share one of my favourite cocktails for you. I love making this. Cocktails are meant to be a little bit wicked and this one is no exception. This cocktail is also known as a Pornstar Martini, but I prefer to jut call it a Passionfruit Martini. This is really lip smacking really …

This is a page for family favourite recipes, many passed ont to me from friends and family, all of them have been well tried.
With budgets in mind, a lot of the recipes are adapted to use cheaper cuts of meat, also most of them are freezer friendly, so we can make large portions and stock them in the freezer.
I am always grateful to people sending me recipes that they love and then to share them on this section for others to try. I will be putting up some vegitarian recipes and all the recipes benefit from organic or home produce, if you can afford them or you grow them yourself.

Susie’s Ninja Roasted Cod with Potatoes and Salsa Verde
This is based on an old Delia Smith recipe that I have adapted for the Ninja and in her words “delightfully different and makes a complete meal for two to three people with perhaps a simple green salad with a lemony dressing as an accompaniment”. Chunks of skinless cod fillet are good in this, but …

Susie’s Homemade Ninja Beef Burgers
This is my take on Gordon Ramsay’s recipe, and it is delicious. In the original recipe there is no red onion, that is my addition, if you don’t like onions just leave it out. This makes a great recipe for people who are caravanning or living in Vans as you can put them in a …

Susie’s Picadillo in the Ninja 15 in 1 Foodi
One of our favourite dishes and so versatile. Ingredients Method You can serve this hot with rice, or chips (French fries) or let it cook and use as a filling, but this is a wonderful dish and still a favourite of ours and our family for over 25 years, so give it a try.
Susie’s Ninja Baked Aubergine & Spinach Pasta
This is a lovely dish, that came from Waitrose, I have modified it so that rather than using the oven, I am cooking it in my Ninja Air-fryer. Ingredients Method If you were using an oven you would need to preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6, but as we are using a Ninja, …

Susie’s Mushroom Risotto
This is a dish that can be made in under 30 minutes, we picked up Tesco’s Exotic Mushroom selecition and thought that these would go lovely in a risotto. Ingredients Method
Susie’s Ninja Baked Bread Buns (Bread Rolls)
I have never made bread in my Ninja before and I was quite thrilled with the results. This is a similar recipe to the basic pizza dough, If you are going to use a mixer, it will need a dough hook attachment. Ingredients Method These freeze very well when cold
Tuscan White Bean & Sausage Stew
Such a versitile dish as you can really add what ever you would like into it, as long as you stick to the basics to develop the sauce. This is a very hearty dish, brilliant in the winter, but also lovely in the summer. We have had it with crusty bread and a glass or …
