Pan Fried Gurnard on a Fennel and Parmesan Gratin
Keeping the healthy new year kick going I’m trying to cut out some of my carb intake. If you like liquorice or better still a shot of Pernod then you’ll love fennel as it have a lovely aniseed flavour. I always think Gurnard are such a pretty fish as they are red with yellow and…
Roasted Beetroot and Goats Cheese Salad with a Honey and Thyme Dressing
So as spring is upon us I thought I’d make the most of the winter salads. Roasting beetroot is my favourite way of eating it, piercing the skin means the garlic and thyme flavours really penetrate the flesh. As the beetroot is so earthy the creamy goats cheese and the sweet dressing work so well…
Pan Fried Gurnard on a Black Pudding, Fennel and Lentil Stew Recipe
We are lucky with the fish we have available in the UK. Gurnard are one of those under rated fishes but they taste delicious and I think they are really pretty with the red skin and fanned fins. They remind me of a more robust sea bass. The earthy flavours from lentils, spicy notes from…

Fish Friday – Roasted Tarragon Sea Bass with Caramalised Leeks, Fennel and Pancetta Recipe
This was an easy quick tasty dinner. Our fishmonger does lovely sea bass and it is one of my favourite fishes as it doesn’t have a lot of brown meat which means I can eat it all! Fennel goes so well with seafood and the leeks were lovely and sweet. The pancetta or bacon adds…
Beef, Broccoli and Spinach Stir Fry with a Honey and Pepper Sauce Recipe

Pork Chops in a Madeira and Mushroom Sauce with Wilted Spinach Recipe
Keeping in with our low fat and healthy kick to get the weight off for holidays and summer, this dinner is perfect. It is low in fat, has no carbs but is still filling as I find pork chops quite a lot of meat. Paulie and I love lots of sauce we usually make enough…
