As it is only me and paulie in the house (apart from 2 fur babies) if we have new potatoes for dinner we don’t eat a whole bag. I cook all of them and use them in salads. This salad was yummy and really summery. I love feta and mint together, the flavours work so…

BLT Salad with Pecans and a Mustard Dressing
I love bacon, lettuce and tomato. As it’s winter I decided to use sun dried tomatoes instead of fresh and added some pecans for some crunch. It’s a slightly odd combination but was very yummy none the less. The mustard dressing made it nice and zingy. Ingredients (serves 2) For the Salad For the Dressing…
Pork Chops with a Rosemary, Orange and Mustard Sauce
Pork chops are such a good midweek dinner. The 3 flavours of the sauce work so well together and you can serve it with so many different sides. I chose polenta for this dinner. It was so comforting I really am a Sauce addict I always do the recipe for 4 people even though it’s…
Pork Chops, Sauteed Brussels Sprouts and Chestnuts with a Cider and Mustard Sauce
The much divided brussel sprouts are back in season! I love them as long as they aren’t over cooked like in my childhood. I eat them in all different formats, shaved raw in a salad, roasted, plain etc. This dish is a match made in heaven for me. Juicy pork chops with roasted fatty bits….
Warm Leftover Beef and Roast Potato Salad with Horseradish and Mustard
I hate wasting food so I wanted to use up my Sunday roast leftovers. I’ve only ever put leftover new potatoes in a salad but I thought why not roast potatoes. I’m not keen on them cold so zapping them in the microwave for a minute worked perfectly making it a nice warm salad. The…

Salt Beef Salad with Crispy Capers and a Three Mustard Dressing
If you look back at my posts you will see I made my own salt beef but you can just buy some. I always have different mustards in my cupboard. Beef and mustard is a classic combo, I couldn’t decide which one to use in the dressing so decided to mix all 3 it tasted…
Fragrant Fridge Pickled Courgettes
All the great spring produce is starting to be available and pickling them is such a nice way to have them to hand. I love the large sliced dill pickles but they are so expensive now. As courgettes are cheap and always in abundance they are a brilliant alternative. I love the subtle flavours from…
Hot Smoked Salmon and Bruised Cucumber on a Dill and Parsley Salad with a Mustard Dressing
I’m starting to get so excited with the local produce season that’s on its way. I have missed so many things but sweet tomatoes and baby cucumbers that are in season now taste so fresh and of course asparagus is coming up. I’m also trying to get more herbs in my diet so trying to…
Simple Smoked Trout and Gherkin Salad with a Honey Mustard Dressing
I love this time of year as all the cured fish and meats are available and there are usually offers too. I love smoked trout as it is more delicate than salmon. Gherkins and smoked fish go so well together and you get a lovely sweetness from the honey mustard. Ingredients (serves 2) 100g pack…
Haggis Salad with a Runny Egg and Mustard Dressing
I’m not Scottish but as it is burn’s night and my local farm shop had an array of haggis goods for sale I thought I would give it a go. I’m from Devon and love hogs pudding so I guessed I should like it. Unlike hogs pudding which uses pig meat, haggis uses lamb organs…
Stuffed Chicken Breast Wrapped in Parma Ham on a Lentil Salad with a Mustard Dressing
So hubby bought a load of reduced Parma ham and I had taken a chicken breast out of the freezer for lunch. I looked in the fridge and we had a small chunk of goats cheese. In the summer we have this chicken on top of Courgettes and tomatoes so as the weather has been…
Crispy Duck Breast with a Cider, Mustard and Orange Sauce Recipe
Nothing beats a crispy skin duck breast. We usually have five spice duck breast and fancied something different. The classic combination or duck and orange works well in this dish with added flavour of mustard and cider. We love sauce so even though my recipe serves 2 the sauce serves 4, crushing the new potatoes…

Honey, Mustard and Marmalade Roast Ham Recipe
This was the first time I had made my own marmalade ham and it will be my go to recipe now. It was so delicious it was sticky and sweet with delicious mustard notes. The meat was so tender and the caramalisation on the outside is really addictive. The ham only lasted 2 days and…
