These were so good. As we live reasonably close to Dover we used to go over to Calais for the day to stock up on cheese’s, hams, pastries and of course wine. The other things we used to buy were ready made croque monsieur’s, coquille st jacques and savoury pancakes. As it isn’t cost effective…

Garlic and Thyme Wild Mushrooms on Sourdough Toast Recipe
So it is that time of year when wild mushrooms are available. This brunch was delicious I always think you should keep wild mushroom recipes really simple because of their delicate flavours.

Marinated Steak on a Soya Bean and Rice Noodle Salad with Mirin and Pomegranate Dressing Recipe
This was so tasty. I marinated the beef overnight and when I was slicing it I pinched a bit (chef’s perk) and could taste the delicious flavour’s in the meat, it was tangy, sweet, juicy and beefy. Sometimes it is nice to do different recipes with steak, though I must say steak and chips is…
Panko Crab Cakes, Rocket Salad and an Anchovy and Caper Dressing Recipe
This is a great store cupboard lunch or light dinner. I have been wanting to make an anchovy dressing for ages, the salad tasted like a lighter more flavoursome Caesar salad. Tinned crab is a really easy and cost effective way of having crab cakes I think it is probably cheaper than tuna now. I…
Red Wine and Chorizo Risotto Recipe
A risotto is our fast food as it can be so flexible with its ingredients and cooked in 30 minutes. We add frozen veg to ours and we always have chorizo and leek in the fridge. While going through our cookbooks we came across a red wine risotto in Angela Hartnett’s book and thought we…
Sweet and Sour Udon Stir Fry with Prawns, Tofu and Leeks Recipe

Hearty Pork Chops, Lentil Ragout and Cider and Mustard Sauce Recipe

Red Mullet with Couscous and a Sun Dried Tomato and Caper Sauce Recipe
This fish was so pretty and colourful I wasn’t sure if I wanted to eat it, to add to the prettiness our fishmonger butterflied it which is something I haven’t see before except on sardines! But I am glad I did. This was a tasty supper. I love sweet sun dried tomatoes and the couscous…
Salt and Pepper Squid Stir Fry Recipe
I am always a little worried when it comes to squid as to whether it is going to be chewy or tender. I needn’t of worried with this recipe as the scoring of the squid and minimal cooking time makes this a tasty tender dish. We based this on rick steins recipe but added in…
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…
Healthy White Bean, Squash and Kale Soup Recipe
So another recipe including the lovely squashes that are right in season at the moment. This is my third variety and it is called a harlequin squash. This squash was really colourful which attracted me to it in the first place. I am really packing in the super foods into our diet at the moment…
Roasted Spaghetti Squash, Pancetta and Spinach with Shaved Goat’s Cheese Recipe

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…
