I think sea bass is one of my favourite fishes as it cooks so quickly and tastes so yummy. I decided to go for the Mediterranean vibe on this recipe. I know it sounds weird but it felt healthy eating it. The flavours are so yummy and I literally drank the liquid that was left…

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…
Smoked Salmon Pasta with a Caper, Lemon and Parsley Sauce
This is such a great dinner when your tired and just want something tasty and quick. The sauce is great and skinny as you don’t use milk or cream. The flavours are classic, I am so partial to a bit of 80’s parsley sauce and just spruced it up. Ingredients Directions
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….
Pan Fried Hake on a Tomato and Chive Beurre Blanc Sauce
Amazing I can’t wait to have this again with different types of white fish. I saw this idea on Saturday kitchen. It looked so amazing I just had to try it. I tweaked it a little bit by adding fish stock instead of wine as I thought it would too be acidic, it worked perfectly….
Slow Roasted Lamb Stuffed with Dates, Apricots and Rosemary served with Red Wine Gravy and Couscous
Slow cooked roasts are my favourite way of cooking. There was a boneless rolled joint on offer in the supermarket so I couldn’t resist it. I usually have joints on the bone so this gave me the opportunity to stuff it. It was so yummy and came out perfectly, I didn’t think roast potatoes would…
Healthier Chinese Lemon Chicken
I am trying to keep things healthy as I’m not moving around as much as I’m working from home. I didn’t miss the breadcrumbs at all in this recipe in fact it tasted better. My hubby doesn’t like eggs that much but I can get them down him in egg fried rice, I think it…
Barnsley Lamb Chops with Pesto Jersey Royals and a Pomegranate Molasses and Balsamic Vinegar Gravy
Sorry another recipe using wild garlic pesto 🙈 you can use any pesto in this dish. I love lamb chops when they are cooked right the are so juicy and tender and I love the crispy fat too. I was getting board of red wine gravy on them all the time so shook it up…
Leftover Lamb Tagine with Harrisa, Olives and Chickpeas
So for Easter we cooked a shoulder of lamb and as there is only two of us two fur babies we had a lot leftovers. In the past I’ve made leftover lamb hotpot and Ragu so fancied a change and I’m in love with sweet paprika at the moment and I also had some bags…
Spring Onion Pancakes with a Soy and Sesame Dipping Sauce
This is such a great way of using up spring onions, it’s quick easy and really tasty. I like my spring onions softened so rather than added them to the dough after you’ve made it I add it straight away. It’s traditional used using the green parts but I like it with the white parts…
Sweet and Sour King Prawns with Egg Fried Rice
Due to lock down I have been making fake away’s. I love sweet and sour prawns but I like the Cantonese style which has a light coating rather than a thick batter. I did follow a recipe for the sauce but it was too sweet so I had to scrap that one and made my…
Pork Fillet Saltimbocca with Jersey Royals
Sometimes it is so nice to have an old fashioned simple meal. This recipe is easy to make and all the flavours are so comforting. I grew my own sage this year and it tasted so fresh and who doesn’t like crispy prosciutto. I’m also making most of the jersey royals they are so creamy…
Cod and Lentils with a Red Wine Sauce
P and I had a long weekend in Winchester, it was a foodie weekend due to the restaurants we visited. Our first stop was hugh’s river cottage restaurant which served lovely food and the decor was beautiful. The next night we went to rick steins restaurant I had a shellfish platter and P had monkfish…
Smoked Haddock and Leek Arancini with Tomato Sauce and Crispy Capers
This is such a good way to use up leftover rice. I made the risotto myself as I couldn’t wait to try this out. I got the idea from a tapas restaurant we went to, one of the dishes we ordered was the cod arancini they were delicious but I thought the cod got lost…
Fake Away Friday Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork
I love all the crispy Chinese dishes such as crispy chilli beef, crispy duck and pancakes, pancake rolls, sweet and sour king prawn and the list goes on. We have a new butchers that has opened in our town so we went to check it out and I noticed they had some pork stir fry…
