Some cuts of meat need to be slow cooked and brisket is one of the. It isn’t the prettiest dish but it tastes delicious. It is also a good way to use up a red wine your not keen on. This also makes a delicious rich gravy, which I love. We had ours with sautéed…

Stuffed Chicken Breast Wrapped in Parma Ham on a Lentil Salad with a Mustard Dressing
So hubby bought a load of reduced Parma ham and I had taken a chicken breast out of the freezer for lunch. I looked in the fridge and we had a small chunk of goats cheese. In the summer we have this chicken on top of Courgettes and tomatoes so as the weather has been…
Healthy Baked Smoked Haddock, Chive and Prawn Fishcakes with Homemade Tartar Sauce
So I had some potatoes I didn’t use on Sunday and I fancied something light for dinner. These fishcakes worked a treat. I love smoked haddock and thought I would use it in these fishcakes. Making your own tartar sauce is great as you can adjust it to your own taste. I love capers and…
Marinated Seared Steak on a Pea, Sweetcorn and Herb Buckwheat Noodle Salad with a Black Bean Dressing
I love Asian salads and recently discovered fermented chilli black beans. They are so yummy, when I went to the Chinese supermarket I noticed them amongst all the other jars of sauces and Asian ingredients. When I go next time I am going to spend more time looking at all the jars to see if…
Gammon Steaks with Leek and Celeriac Mash and Apple Sauce
When we had a buy up from the Devon butcher he had some delicious gammon steaks that I couldn’t resist. I forgot how much I like gammon steaks and haven’t had them for years. They are such a pub classic that I didn’t want to go down the egg and chip route so I searched…
Zaalouk with Crispy Halloumi and Olives
I wanted to try a different recipe other than baba ganoush with charred aubergine. I found this recipe on the olive magazine website. It has all those middle eastern flavours I love, smokiness from the spices and aubergine, sweetness from the tomatoes and freshness from the coriander and lemon. I used a spoon to pile…
Comforting Caramelised French Onion Soup with Melted Gruyere Toast
I know this is a very old recipe but this was my first attempt. I got this version off the great British chef site. It is time consuming but the depth of sweetness and caramelised flavours you get are so delicious. I love sausage and mash with onion gravy so figured I would enjoy this,…
Leftover Sausage and Sun Dried Tomato Salad with Parmesan Croutons and a Brown Sauce Dressing
So we had a couple of sausages leftover from dinner one night and a stub of sourdough so I thought I would make a salad. It worked really well and had a really comforting flavour. The crunch from the croutons really finish off. It kind of tastes like a deconstructed breakfast. I really loved the…
Luxurious Brixham Crab and Truffle Mac and Cheese
so on our trip to my hometown Torquay we stopped off at Brixham to go to the fishmongers. Brixham fish is famous particularly the plaice and crab. The day we went it was freezing cold and windy as we made our way along the harbour to the fish market, I was so happy to see…
Saganaki and Tomato Salad with Pickled Courgette’s and Oregano
I came across saganaki when buying halloumi in the supermarket. I bought a pack and looked up how to cook it, I was not disappointed. If I had to describe it I would say it is a cross between mozzarella and halloumi. Whereas halloumi goes slightly soft in the center saganaki actually goes gooey and…
Wild Duck Breast with Orange Braised Chicory and a Spiced Sauce
I am so into the wild duck at the moment, it is full of flavour and so tender. I love five spice duck so thought I would make a spiced sauce to go with it, my gosh it was tasty. It went so well with the orangey soft braised chicory. Each flavour works in harmony…
