Individual Pork Fillet Wellington’s Recipe
I had some pork fillet and decided to give this a go as beef fillet is so expensive. I wasn’t disappointed it tasted so yummy and was a fraction of the cost. It was a pork feast with the parma ham too. Who doesn’t like crispy pasty filled with delicious flavours. It would make a…
Carrot, Cumin and Butternut Squash Soup Recipe
Me and Paulie had a day out planned at Howlets zoo and I always think the food in the canteens isn’t particulary nice. So what could be more comforting than a mug of soup! As we wandered around the lions, monkeys and elephants we had a pit stop at a picnic bench and warmed ourselves…

Baked Gnocchi, Cavolo Nero, Black Pudding and Pancetta with Creamy Sauce
Last nights Thursday dinner was a concotion of what we had in the fridge with some added beautifully fresh Cavolo Nero. I do believe this is an under used veg as unlike spinch which wilts, Cavolo Nero holds its shape and bite but is still tender enough not to be chewy.We are lucky to have…
