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…

Tandoori Chicken and Tofu on a Herb Salad with a Yoghurt and Mango Dressing Recipe
I have wanted to have a go at my own tandoori chicken for ages. My mum use to make it for dinner quite often. The chicken was delicious and moist and the spicy coating was a burst of flavour in your mouth. The herbs add freshness and you then get the cool yoghurt and sweet…
Salami, Avocado and Tomato Herb Salad with Rosemary and Parmasen Croutons Recipe
Whenever we have left over bread I love to make croutons or breadcrumbs. We usually buy sourdough which make for a really crunch and airy crouton. My favourite is parmesan and rosemary. I am so pleased that British tomatoes are tasting so good at the moment because over the winter we ate hardly any as…
