Hi I'm Janine. I am the author of the blog ChezJ9. I am a freelance Chef who specialises in recipe development from my kitchen at home. I am also a freelance Food writer also. I love to travel and have a passion for Art and gardening especially in my kitchen one. I love ALL foods especially seasonal food and the provenance of my food is important to me aswell as trying to keep things local. One thing I don't like, is food waste. I try to be as Frugal as I can but also do love to have a treat now and then and a tipple of course.

A simple yet satisfying salad for my late lunch today of Egg, tomato and avocado. Feels like ages since I’ve had a salad. I think we tend to sometimes reach a lot more for comfort food at this time of year with the weather and all. I kept this so simple but was so tasty, full of good stuff and colourful. I love boiled egg in salads. 😋 . . . . #lunch #egg #freerangeeggs #britisheggs #avocado #tomato #piccolotomatoes #piccolotomatoesonthevine #britishtomatoes #cucumber #lettuce #curlylettuce #iceberglettuce #redonion #britishredonion #extravirginoliveoil #usingleftovers #lfhw #leftovers #instafood #foodstagram #chef #foodwriter #foodblogger #chezj9

Listen in to @BBCLeicester now to hear me showing @9amben and you how to make my Pigs in Blankets Pizza! Yes you heard me right! What a fab recipe to do over the weekend to get you feeling festive. It’s so incredibly easy to make whilst popping up your Christmas tree and tangled lights! Also what a great recipe to pop out for friends and family if they are coming round at Christmas or on New Year’s Eve. And of course... it’s using up leftovers! . . . . . #bbcradioleicester #foodfriday #festivefoodfriday #festivefood #pigsinblankets #pizza #comfortfood #easyfood #familyfood #weekendfood #christmasfood #leftovers #lfhw #nowaste #instafood #foodstagram #chef #foodwriter #foodblogger #chezj9

Just harvested this bad boy from the kitchen garden! I’m so pleased a few have still lasted. They were grown as a test really in between my sweetcorn that were in long troughs. So I’m very pleased with the result. Yes a few leaves aren’t great but just look at that colour! I have not edited this picture at all. . . . . #lettuce #roundlettuce #salad #saladleaves #veg #vegetables #gyo #growyourown #vegetablepatch #vegpatch #kitchengarden #potager #eathealthy #healthyfood #fromgardentotable #gardening #greenfingers #nothingbetterthanhomegrown #homegrown #gardener #chef #foodwriter #foodblogger #chezj9

Some of my homegrown chillies 🌶 this year. I’m so pleased they are still going strong outside, however I may need to bring them indoors away from the frost. This variety are quite spicy but have a lovely flavour too. I’ve used them on homemade pizzas, in Indian curries and thai green curries plus much more. . . . . #spicy #redchillies #chillies #chillies🌶 #spices #homegrown #growyourown #gyo #potager #vegetables #veg #veggies #food #foodies #vegetablepatch #veggiepatch #vegpatch #gardening #greenfingers #kitchengarden #kitchengardening #instafood #instafoodgram #foodstagram #chef #foodwriter #foodblogger #gardener #chezj9
