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…

Marinated Steak Tacos with Avocado Crema and Tomato Salsa
Who doesn’t love a taco? Not me I love them! They are so versatile you can put anything in them really. This time I went for steak and I used fillet as I got a nice bit reduced. The marinade is really yummy so I kept the avocado really simple. I just bought my tacos…
Homemade Tomato Salsa
I didn’t realise how making my own salsa would taste so much better than the shop bought varieties and of course there isn’t any nasty preservatives or funky named substitutes in a homemade salsa. It is also so versatile you can add anything you want regarding the herbs and spices. This is perfect as a…
Hot Smoked Salmon on Wild Rice and Peas
This is such a simple salad but delicious I cooked the rice in stock so it didn’t need a dressing I have found such a good technique which is foolproof for cooking the rice which stops it sticking together. Ingredients 1 fillet hot smoked salmon, skin removed 1 cup wild rice 1 1/2 cup chicken…
Slow Roasted Lamb Stuffed with Dates, Apricots and Rosemary served with Red Wine Gravy and Couscous
Slow cooked roasts are my favourite way of cooking. There was a boneless rolled joint on offer in the supermarket so I couldn’t resist it. I usually have joints on the bone so this gave me the opportunity to stuff it. It was so yummy and came out perfectly, I didn’t think roast potatoes would…
Burrata and Tomato Salad with Parmesan Croutons and a Tomato Dressing
I love tomatoes this time of year as they are so sweet and juicy. I learnt a tip while watching Raymond blanc that if you keep the tomatoes at room temperature and salt them and herbs and leave them for at least 30 minutes I don’t mind the seeds but you can always drain them…
Healthier Chinese Lemon Chicken
I am trying to keep things healthy as I’m not moving around as much as I’m working from home. I didn’t miss the breadcrumbs at all in this recipe in fact it tasted better. My hubby doesn’t like eggs that much but I can get them down him in egg fried rice, I think it…
Lemon and Pepper Monkfish Medallions with a Hot Lemon Vinaigrette
If you fancy trying a non-fishy fish (I know that sounds crazy) and want to wow guests with something different try this recipe. Monkfish is more meaty and chunky, it is a bit like chicken, it is tasty and sweet but is firm enough to take on spices, you can even use it for a…
Barnsley Lamb Chops with Pesto Jersey Royals and a Pomegranate Molasses and Balsamic Vinegar Gravy
Sorry another recipe using wild garlic pesto 🙈 you can use any pesto in this dish. I love lamb chops when they are cooked right the are so juicy and tender and I love the crispy fat too. I was getting board of red wine gravy on them all the time so shook it up…
Courgette, Pea and Goats Cheese Fritters with a Courgette Zoodle Salad and Avocado and Pistachio Cream
This is truly a courgette and pea celebration using different flavour combinations and textures. The two green goddesses taste so summery, fresh, light and good together.

Baked Miso Cabbage on Jerusalem Artichoke Puree with a Tahini Herb Dressing
I get cabbage in my weekly veg box and I fancied doing something different with it this week. I have roasted cauliflower steaks before so I thought I’d give cabbage a go for a vegetarian meal it was delicious, everything went so well together and the layers of flavours were delicious. I hate waste so…
Griddled Chorizo on a Pickled Fennel, Lentil and Tomato Salad
When I was out to lunch recently I had a dish which came with quick pickled cucumber and courgette salad, it was so delicious. I did this version using fennel as it holds up well to flavouring and I knew it wouldn’t get too soft. The pickling liquid isn’t too overpowering at all it actually…
Pork Chops, Olive Tapenade Butter Bean Mash and a Red Pepper, Saffron and Paprika Gravy
What can I say yum, yum and yum. This was an experiment and it worked perfectly. I have wanted to try butter bean mash for ages and I thought it could be a bit bland so I added a dollop of tapenade it was delicious. Next I had to think about a sauce or gravy…
