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…

Chicken, Leek, Cabbage and Pancetta Casserole

I love doing new and exciting recipes for my blog but sometimes it’s so nice to just do an uncomplicated dinner. This is great as it’s a one pot and ready in 30 minutes. I love leeks and chicken and had some cabbage left over so chucked that in too. You can use smoked bacon…

Leftover Roast Lamb Stew

I really like leftover lamb as it has loads of flavour and can be turned into anything like a shepherd’s pie right through to a spicy curry. This one was nice and easy and we had a dinner and another one is in the freezer. I really like to add marmite to dark stews in…

Broccoli and Butter Bean Bake with a Black Pudding Crumb

Sometimes a one pot hits the spot! You can make this vegetarian by not using the black pudding. I’m a Devonshire girl we usually go for hogs pudding but I also love black pudding too and to be fair as we mastered the hogs pudding we found it easy to make the black pudding. Hogs…

Easy All in One Scallop and Asparagus Risotto

I love risotto but I hate the whole process of adding a ladel of stock at a time, this way is just as good as I tested both ways. I actually think this method tastes much better as the risotto has a better texture and it means it can now be a quick mid week…

Ingredients (serves 2) 1/2 crown prince squash, whole if small. Peeled center removed and cut into 5cm chunks 2 shallots, peeled and finely diced…

Pot Roast Pheasant with Butter Beans and Chorizo

I love summer and I’m sad to see it go but on the other hand the produce this time of year is amazing. This one pot is so comforting and healthy. I find roasted pheasant a bit dry so pot roasting it keeps it really moist. The butter beans are so tasty and the chorizo…

The Classic Coq Au Vin Recipe

Sorry I haven’t posted for a while I have had a yucky bug :(. Sometimes you do just fancy a classic dinner and they are really comforting. Even though this is simple it has a real depth of flavour. I used Paul’s homemade wine for this dish and it worked a treat. He had a…

Sausage, Bean, Pepper and Tomato Casserole Recipe

This is perfect for this cooler weather we have been having. I think the peppers and beans lighten it up a bit rather than root vegetables. I also love a one pot dinner mid-week as it makes life and washing up so much easier. You can use any flavoured sausage and the cooking chorizo really…
