Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Gnocchi in a Creamy Blue Cheese Sauce

The weather has changed here it’s got abit colder. Mad really as I was sunbathing yesterday! I fancied something comforting and had some blues cheese leftover from the weekend. Purple sprouting broccoli is in season right too which is awesome. This is comforting and all the flavours work so well. I think I’ll find it…

Air Fryer Chorizo, Halloumi and Courgette Skewers on Beetroot Hummus

I love my air fryer, I chuck most things in it. It saves electricity and needs minimal oil if any so it keeps it skinny too. I really love the even crisp and browning you get from kale crisps to skewers like this. These are classic Mediterranean flavours they remind me of holidays in the…

Pork Steak with a Miso, Ginger and Orange Sauce, Broccoli and Stir Fried Beansprouts

I love orange and pork together it’s traditionally with duck but I think pork is just a good. The miso really compliments the orange. Its also a nice quick dinner too. I had run out of noodles as that’s what I was going to serve this with but I had a tin of beansprouts in…

Pork Meatloaf with a Tomato Glaze

This meatloaf is delicious and lasts for a dinner and cold as a lunch with salad. The apricots add sweetness and the prosciutto saltiness. Being British I used that brand of ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. I also used lean pork so it wasn’t too greasy as the loaf tin is lined with the ham. Old…

Cauliflower Cheese with Black Pudding and a Chestnut and Sage topping

This is my go to comfort dinner, I love cauliflower cheese and treat as a meal on its own tho I do like a gammon steak with it sometimes to. I pimped it up by adding some black pudding and some chestnuts and sage to the breadcrumbs. Its just so tasty! If you don’t like…

Wild Mushroom, Bacon and Truffle Pizza

I was an extremely lucky girl to get a jar of truffle slices for one of my xmas presents. As you can probably guess I am using them sparingly. My husband was in London for work and popped into borough market and there was some wild mushrooms. He knows me so well and brought home some black…

Stir Fried Pork Fillet with Peppers, Nuts, Mint, Basil and Broccoli

I love a stir fry particularly when you have had a long day. The prep takes a bit of time but the cooking is so quick. This stir fry was fresh vibrant and really tasty. It was much lighter as it only has lime juice and fish sauce. Pork fillet works perfectly in a stir…

Caramalised Basil Pork Lettuce Wraps (Laab)

I love this dish and I have very fond memories of eating it in Thailand. I also use chicken mince. The original laab doesn’t caramalise the pork as much as I do but I think it adds depth of flavour and a fantastic texture. The shallots are only slightly cooked so you still get a…

Gammon Steaks with a Warm Potato and Broccoli Salad

I always think gammon is seen as a really old fashioned ingredient. It does remind me of my childhood particularly my nan. This potato salad is going to be such a go to it was so yummy and really simple to make. It has everything, its got a bit of crunch from the gherkins and…

Herb and Walnut Crusted Pork Fillet with a Cream Cheese Sauce

This dish was so delicious and would be perfect for a dinner party. All the flavours work really well. As you are crusting the pork it kept it really moist. I’d usually do a mushroom sauce but fancied something different. I had some cream cheese in the fridge and thought it would just be the…

Mediterranean Summer Vegetable Sausage Casserole

Sometimes you fancy doing something different with a sausage in the summer other then a BBQ. I love sausage casserole in the winter. I decided to make a summer version with lovely summery vegetables. The main flavour I wanted was lovely smokey sweet paprika and it worked a treat. This was light fresh healthy and…

Crustless Courgette, Cheese and Herb Quiche

I love making crustless quiches (its also a secret way to get eggs in my hubby!). You don’t need pastry and can literally chuck in anything you have knocking about. I used manouri cheese as that’s what I had but any cheese with work, feta, cheddar or even grated halloumi. I think it does need…

Herby Pork Mince and Gnocchi in a Tomato Broth

I really appreciate a really quick dinner that is also a one pot and this is one of those. I’m really lucky as I go on holiday twice a year I manage to get all my herbs from the med. these ones are from Greece and are all wild in the hills and mountains. To…

Meatball and Pasta Tomato bake

So I’ve got back from travelling around Malaysia for 3 weeks and craved some comfort food. There will definitely be some malay recipes coming up though. This is just a nice easy bowl of comfort food. I didn’t make my own meatballs this time to make it nice and quick. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions

Pork Stuffed Cabbage Rolls on a Cherry Tomato and Garlic Sauce

I have wanted to make these for a few of years and I have finally got round to doing it. I first tried mine in Germany they had rice and a mix of beef and pork mince. I thought they were a little heavy so I made mine without the rice and just pork. I…
