Wild Mushroom, Bacon and Truffle Pizza

I was an extremely lucky girl to get a jar of truffle slices for one of my xmas presents. As you can probably guess I am using them sparingly. My husband was in London for work and popped into borough market and there was some wild mushrooms. He knows me so well and brought home some black…

Three Mushroom Soup with Parmesan Crisps

It’s that time of year again when the soups make an appearance. I don’t think there isn’t a soup that I don’t like. I opted for mushroom this time. I didn’t want to use cream so I used 3 different mushrooms instead. The flour worked perfectly as the thickener. I didn’t have any bread so…

Easy Pate Stuffed Mushrooms

Omg I don’t know why I haven’t tried this before it is delicious and so easy to make. I had some mushrooms and some pate going out of date in the fridge. I decided to put the two together. I always have breadcrumbs in the freezer that I make from the ends and stale bits…

Barnsley Lamb Chops in a Paprika and Sour Cream Sauce

I always feel Barnsley chops are a bit of a treat dinner. I don’t have them very often, but when I do I like to make a really nice sauce with them. This sauce is loosely based on stroganoff. I have a slight addiction to paprika and pepper so you may want to half the…

Pheasant, Bacon, Potato and mushroom One Pot

Where I live is rural, so we get a lot of game available. Luckily over the years we have built a good relationship with our local gamekeeper so we can order directly. This is the first time I have come across pheasant thighs. I treated them like chicken thighs but cooked them less. They are…

Squash Gnocchi with Black Pudding, Mushroom and Kale

Sometimes you just fancy a quick one pan dinner that is still really tasty. This is just that. These were ingredients I had knocking about in the fridge from a fry up and salad. They all worked really well together and it was delicious. Instead of black pudding you could use sausage as black pudding…

Hen of the Woods Mushroom Soup

So many variates of mushrooms are now available to everyone, whether you get them from a farm shop or order them online. I was recently back home in Devon and there is a farm shop that specialises in growing mushrooms. It’s great as where they grow them they have windows and information about them so…

Light Leftover Beef Goulash

This is such a good way to use up leftover beef as the sauce keeps the beef nice and moist. It’s also really easy to make as it is just a one pot. I love the flavour of the mushrooms and sour cream instead of heavy cream. Ingredients 2 banana shallots, peeled and diced finely…

End of Season Game, Ale and Mushroom Pie

So the game season has finished and I still had some knocking around in the freezer. I had some pheasant breasts, venison and a rabbit so I decided to cut off the meat and chuck them altogether in a pie. It was delicious and a nice nod to the end of the season until it…

Jerusalem Artichoke and Mushroom Soup

When I went to the farm shop at the weekend to get vegetables and salad for the week I was surprised to see that they still had the knobbly but tasty Jerusalem artichokes. I usually have them as a purée but they worked so well in this earthy soup. The apple really lifts the flavour…

Chicken, Pancetta, Mushroom and Kale Topped Jacket Potato

Chicken, bacon and mushrooms is one of my favourite combos. it’s jazzed up with the sage and kale to add that final flourish. Ingredients (serves 2) 1 packet of smoked pancetta or…

Chicken, Leek, Spinach and Mushroom Gnocchi Bake

I love these sort of recipes for during the week. I found it quite hard to fine a recipe without using cream to keep it low fat but I used a recipe from the body coach to guide me. The result is a comforting delicious dinner. I used what I had in the fridge which…
