The weather has changed here it’s got abit colder. Mad really as I was sunbathing yesterday! I fancied something comforting and had some blues cheese leftover from the weekend. Purple sprouting broccoli is in season right too which is awesome. This is comforting and all the flavours work so well. I think I’ll find it…

Pork Steak with a Miso, Ginger and Orange Sauce, Broccoli and Stir Fried Beansprouts
I love orange and pork together it’s traditionally with duck but I think pork is just a good. The miso really compliments the orange. Its also a nice quick dinner too. I had run out of noodles as that’s what I was going to serve this with but I had a tin of beansprouts in…
Marinated Seared Steak with Satay Sauce and Quick Pickled Cucumber
I got married in Bali so it is one of my special places. I love the food it’s totally different to Chinese or Japanese food. I’ve also been to Thailand and Malaysia and satay is one of my favourites. Satay means skewer so it’s not the sauce but it was served as a dipping sauce…
Cauliflower Cheese with Black Pudding and a Chestnut and Sage topping
This is my go to comfort dinner, I love cauliflower cheese and treat as a meal on its own tho I do like a gammon steak with it sometimes to. I pimped it up by adding some black pudding and some chestnuts and sage to the breadcrumbs. Its just so tasty! If you don’t like…
Crispy Chicken Thighs with Wild Garlic Butter Beans and Cider
I think I am going to bombard everyone with wild garlic recipes it is my favourite foraging ingredient. One it tastes delicious and two it means SPRING is here! As you spend all that time picking them you want to have something decadent. This is simple comforting but I think also a treat. It’s a…
Prawn and Pea Gratin with a Parsley Cheese Sauce and Lemon Breadcrumbs
So this is one of my favourite dinners when my husband is away as he hates parsley sauce but I love it! I grew up with the boil in the bag fish and parsley sauce (or maybe not fish as the shape was rather funky!) This is really nice with smoked haddock as well or…
Pheasant Schnitzel on Saucy Pasta and Peas
So the game season is coming to an end so it’s my Friday night treat. This was so yummy! The pheasant was really tender, sometimes it can be a little tough as it is so lean compared to a chicken breast. The pasta was really simple but with the crunch of the pheasant and moisture…
Homemade Crispy Chilli Beef
So I love a good Chinese takeaway and I think crispy chillibeef along with char siu pork are my favorites. I decided to make my own and it was so delicious much better than the take away and I knew what exactly was in the sauce. As I served it straight away it was also…
Herb and Walnut Crusted Pork Fillet with a Cream Cheese Sauce
This dish was so delicious and would be perfect for a dinner party. All the flavours work really well. As you are crusting the pork it kept it really moist. I’d usually do a mushroom sauce but fancied something different. I had some cream cheese in the fridge and thought it would just be the…
Herby Pork Mince and Gnocchi in a Tomato Broth
I really appreciate a really quick dinner that is also a one pot and this is one of those. I’m really lucky as I go on holiday twice a year I manage to get all my herbs from the med. these ones are from Greece and are all wild in the hills and mountains. To…
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…
Black Pepper Beef, Sugar Snap Pea and Pepper Stir fry
This stir fry was so yummy and really easy to make. I did all the prep earlier in the day including the sauce. So when it came to dinner time It was so quick. I am totally in love with black pepper so this dish hit the spot. Even though this dish is healthy it…
Chicken Piccata Style with Tarragon
I love this style of cooking. Whether its schnitzel, saltimboccaand whether it uses chicken, pork or veal. I had chicken for this recipe. Its always handy having a packet of panko breadcrumbs in the cupboard. They always seem to be extra crispy. Lemon and capers work so well together and I also had some tarragon…
Halibut Fillets with a Shrimp, Caper, Lemon and Butter Sauce
Halibut is defo one of my favourite fishes and as it is a flat fish the flavour is beautiful and delicate. It is so meaty and as it is a large flat fish you get a really decent fillet. As it’s not the cheapest fish in the world I do go all out. So drenching…
Venison Loin with a Red Wine and Juniper Sauce Served with Roasted Carrots and Parsnips
This was a treat. I didn’t get into game until later on in life, but I love it now. Venison is my favourite and this has a much deeper flavour than fillet steak though I do love that too. To make it really comforting and wintery I served it with roasted vegetables and a rich…
