Lamb rack is such a treat for me so I wanted to make sure I made it as tasty as possible. I remember having a macadamia crusted lamb chop which was delicious. I used pistachio for mine and dried herbs. I love pepper so I added a good amount of this too. Using mustard as…

Mediterranean Halloumi Salad and Herb Dressing
I love dried herbs they add flavour to anything. My favourites are oregano, thyme and rosemary. When I was in Greece they served a salad dressing like this over their feta Greek salad. I used halloumi in mine but I tried to recreate the dressing and it was yummy. Ingredients (serves 2) For the Salad…
Five Spice Pigeon Breast on a Asian Herb Salad tossed in a Hoisin Dressing
I’m starting to come to the end of my frozen game meat. As the pigeon breasts are quite small they make a really good salad. As the pigeon has a slightly strong flavour it can take on some spice. The soft flesh works so well with the crispy lettuce and herbs. The hoisin dressing finishes…
Feta, Olive and Tomato Salad with a Herb and Lemon Dressing
I got some really good quality feta cheese and olives from a farmer’s market so I wanted to use them in a simple way. The dressing matches the flavours perfectly. I didn’t toss the feta or olives in the dressing as I wanted to keep their flavour fresh. All the other ingredients really complimented everything….
Stuffed Baby Red Peppers with Walnuts, Herbs and Spices
So these peppers are bang in season at the moment and I saw a version of this recipe in my local supermarket magazine. They looked so good I had to try them myself. I cooked them as part of a tapas selection. Gosh they were sooo good, sweet, savoury, nutty and herby. This is going…
Juicy Greek Style Herbed Roasted Lamb
Wham bam yummy lamb. This roasted lamb is soooo good. Amazing flavours with loads of herbs, garlic, lemon and mustard. You can pair this with any sides from potatoes to couscous. The other bonus is I got this heavily reduced, I usually slow roast lamb for hours but this one is ready in just an…
Wild Garlic, Leek and Thyme Pork Pies (no gelatine)
So I’m still making the most of my foraged wild garlic. I will post my salt, oil and pickled buds next but I had to share these pork pies first as they were so delicious. Being British I love a pork pie but I’m not keen on the massive jelly layer or claggy pastry, so…
Pan Fried Sea Bass with Cherry Tomato, Wine and Thyme Sauce
Tomatoes are so amazing this time of year we are having them in salads, oven bakes and in sauces. Sea bass is another great summer ingredient so I combined the two together. This is a fresh tasty summery dinner. The fish, tomatoes and thyme really compliment each other. Ingredients (serves 2) 2 sea bass fillets,…
Marinated Seared Steak on a Pea, Sweetcorn and Herb Buckwheat Noodle Salad with a Black Bean Dressing
I love Asian salads and recently discovered fermented chilli black beans. They are so yummy, when I went to the Chinese supermarket I noticed them amongst all the other jars of sauces and Asian ingredients. When I go next time I am going to spend more time looking at all the jars to see if…
Smoked Garlic Olive Tapenade Recipe
I love bread and butter but I fancied something with a bit more flavour. Earlier in the year we went to Lake Garda in Italy and I bought a few vacuum packs of olives. As I had only got round to using one so far I thought it is about time to use up the…
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…
Squash Cheese Fondue with Sage and Rosemary Dipping Crouton’s Recipe
Where do I start with this …. Oh my gosh! Deliiiicious! This tasted amazing, the sweet squash flesh coated in the creamy cheese, finished off with crunchy croutons oozing in the cheese. This is so clever as the baked squash keeps the fondue warm so it doesn’t harden or burn at the bottom like a…
Smoked Trout with Dill and Chive Potato Rosti, Crispy Caper’s and Herb Mustard Mayo Recipe
This is an easy tasty little supper or warm lunch. Rosti are a great way of using up left over potatoes. We are really lucky as we have a really nice smokery near to us who make the most amazing smoked trout. I first tried crispy capers in my octopus dish and I love the…
Blue Cheese and Roasted Tomato Lentil Salad Recipe
For some reason soft blue cheese goes really well with earthy lentils and sweet tomatoes. When you have a mouthful it really gives you a burst of flavours. I roasted the tomatoes to make them even juicier and sweet and it worked a treat. The creaminess of the cheese makes this salad taste really comforting….
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. I found making the meatballs quite theraputic whilst listening to the radio. They went so well with the creamy mash potato and the herbs running through them makes…
