This is everything a ham should be, sticky, sweet, juicy and tender. The freshness from the salsa cuts through the sweetness and keeps the pineapple theme running throughout the whole dish. We are lucky as we have an excellent butcher and we ordered 2 smoked gammons and were not disappointed. Sometimes old school joints taste…

Herb Crusted Haddock, Fennel Puree and Crispy Capers Recipe
Fish, fennel and capers are one of my all-time favourite combinations and we use these 3 ingredients in lots of different ways. I am a fennel puree virgin and really enjoyed the creaminess. The recipe we roughly followed didn’t add the fennel seeds but after tasting I thought it needed a more aniseedy flavour and…

Fillet Steak and Stilton Pasty Recipe
So it’s national baking week so what could be better than a juicy tender flavoursome pasty? I made this more luxurious by using fillet steak and stilton rather than skirt steak and vegetables.

Monkfish on Spiced Beans with a Chorizo Crumb Recipe
I love monkfish it is so meaty and sweet. I wish is was still as cheap as use to be when used for scampi in the olden days. We do a lovely recipe which is lemon and pepper monkfish medallions (recipe here) but we thought we would try something more wintery this time. This dish…
Friday Treat – Easy Brown Sugar and Flour Fudgy Chocolate Brownies Recipe
I love a fudgy chocolate brownie, but I am not keen on white sugar as it can be so sweet and it has been refined. This recipe was perfect and makes a perfectly sweet, gooey, yummy brownie. It completely hits the spot for a sweet fix but keeps your conscience completely clean as there is…
Healthy Mexican Inspired Tuna Stuffed Avocado Recipe
I fancied a change from avocado in a salad so thought I would try them stuffed (I stuffed roast peppers a few days ago).

Baked Goats Cheese, Aubergine and Walnut Salad with a Blackberry and Thyme Dressing Recipe
This salad tasted so Autumnal and was really comforting. I am trying to use the blackberry vinegar I made in recipes, it works extremely well in dressings, if you don’t have any you can substitute for sweet balsamic vinegar or honey. This is one of those salads that looks more complicated than it really is…
Mediterranean Halloumi and Couscous Stuffed Roasted Peppers Recipe
So for meatless Monday this week we have stuffed peppers. I have been wanting to try these for a while but I was a little worried that the peppers might repeat on me but they didn’t. I really enjoyed this dish and would definitely make it again. The pepper is sweet and soft without being…
Christmas Prep – Spiced Pickled Pears for Cheese and Cold Meats Recipe
So we are getting to that time of year, Christmas. I love Christmas food hot and cold. I think the cold meats and cheeses are probably my favourite part though.

Skinny Creamy Broccoli and Cauliflower Soup Recipe
So the soup season is now upon us which I don’t really mind to be honest. I love a comforting creamy soup but not the calories. This is a perfect balance, I have kept the fat and carbs down by using skimmed milk and only one potato. The cauliflower is the star as it thickens…
