This recipe was mouth watering good. The meat was so soft and tender and the caramalised crispy skin and outside bits tasted so good. The sauce was to die for it had all those conforting chinese flavours like ribs or a crispy duck. I served it with plain boiled white rice so I could maximise…

Herb Roasted Rib of Veal with Red Wine Gravy Recipe
I love veal, the ethos of eating it really pulls at my heart strings as I hate animals dying for no reason. Veal is a by-product of dairy farms. Instead of the bulls being shot at birth and having no use they get to live for 6 months and can be used to feed your…
Tasty Left Over Roast Lamb Hotpot Recipe
Lamb is definitely my favourite roast but unlike chicken and beef it isn’t very pleasant cold in a salad or sandwich. It is great in a curry or tagine but I had some potatoes left over so I went for a hotpot for a change. This was so tasty, my lamb had a spice rub…

Fragrant Red Lentil, Spinach and Tomato Dal Recipe

Seared Lemon Sole with a Lime, Chilli and Thai Basil Sauce Recipe
We love flat fish and sole is one of my favourites. We like to eat lemon or megrim sole as it really keeps the price down and they are just as delicious as dover sole. We tend to go down the route of french sauces with fish but I came across a similar recipe to…

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…
Curried Hake on Spiced Lentils Recipe

Nothing beats a crispy skin duck breast. We usually have five spice duck breast and fancied something different.

We love sauce so even though my recipe serves 2 the sauce serves 4, crushing the new potatoes…
Fish Friday – Sea Trout Fillets on a Chorizo, Leek and Lentil Ragu Recipe

Herby Pork Meatballs in Ale Gravy Recipe
I got some pork mince and fancied something different to pasta and meatballs. So I got searching lots of recipes and came across this one on supergoldenbakes.com.
