Chicken, Leek, Spinach and Mushroom Gnocchi Bake
I love these sort of recipes for during the week. I found it quite hard to fine a recipe without using cream to keep it low fat but I used a recipe from the body coach to guide me. The result is a comforting delicious dinner. I used what I had in the fridge which…
Twice Cooked Sticky and Tender Chinese Pork Belly
What’s not to like about this recipe, soft tender pork meat it’s caramelised crispy fat bits and a delicious sauce that the rice can soak up. I’m not keen on the chewy skin on pork belly in Chinese recipes as it isn’t cooked like crispy crackling. Removing it still leaves a fat layer that you…
Pot Roast Pheasant with Butter Beans and Chorizo
I love summer and I’m sad to see it go but on the other hand the produce this time of year is amazing. This one pot is so comforting and healthy. I find roasted pheasant a bit dry so pot roasting it keeps it really moist. The butter beans are so tasty and the chorizo…
Roasted Squash Salad with Toasted Cobnuts, Feta and Crispy Sage
So Autumn has arrived, I must say the colours on trees are beautiful. Warm oranges, bright reds and golden yellows. I think the squashes represent these colours so well. Cobnuts remind me Autumn too I love watching squirrels bury them away for the winter. I didn’t use much sage over the summer and I love…
End of Summer Chicken, Chorizo, Courgette and Tomato One Pot
We have been so lucky with our late summer vegetables this year. The tomatoes aren’t as sweet as the height of summer so they work really well being cooked. This is a light tasty one pot dinner using up the last bits of summer vegetables. The chorizo adds a really nice smokiness and meaty flavour….
Leftover Roast Lamb, Aubergine and Parmesan Bake
Lamb roast has to be one of my favourite dinners, but I don’t like the leftovers cold and I hate wasting food. I also like a parmigiana and thought lamb goes really well with aubergine. This recipe is really yummy and great way to use up leftovers. Ingredients 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped 1…
Sous Vide Pork Fillet on Garlic and Thyme Borlotti Beans with Salsa Verde
This dinner was delicious. My husband and I treated ourselves to a sous vide machine and it has been a revelation. We first made char Sui pork and the meat was so tender. This time we thought we would keep it simple, the pork flavour is amazing and the meat just melts in the mouth….
Whole Wheat Tuna Pasta Salad with Oregano, Capers and a Lemon Dressing
When I first started making salads for work and lunch, pasta and tuna were one of the first I learned. Back then I didn’t know what a caper was whereas now I love them and we got through a jar every couple of weeks. I think tuna and pasta are such a comforting combination I…
Healthy Sausage, Fennel and Salsify Tray Bake
I love a one pan dish as it makes for a quick easy mid week dinner. Sausages make a great dinner. Instead of salsify you could use new potatoes. The mustard sauce goes so well with the aniseed from the fennel. You could chuck anything into this really I just used what I had at…
Harissa and Black Bean Loaded Sweet Potato Skins with Whipped Feta and Smashed Avocado
For this weeks meatless dinner I made stuffed sweet potato skins. I have wanted to use whipped feta for ages and it worked so well in this dish. It was really filling and healthy. The sweetness from the potato works really well with the smokey harissa paste. The creamy avocado and salty feta really finishes…
Slow Cooked Beef Brisket with Red Wine, Thyme and Leeks served with Cabbage and Chestnuts
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…
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…
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,…
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…
