I am so into the wild duck at the moment, it is full of flavour and so tender. I love five spice duck so thought I would make a spiced sauce to go with it, my gosh it was tasty. It went so well with the orangey soft braised chicory. Each flavour works in harmony…

Corned Beef, Griddled Chicory and Walnut Salad with a Pommegranate Molasses Dressing
I love proper corned beef, the spices really penetrate the meat and it also just melts in your mouth. The Chicory or endives do need a sprinkle a sugar and caramelisation as the leaves are so bitter. The walnuts add a nice crunch and you get a citrusy sweet flavour from the pomegranate molasses. Ingredients…
Fragrantly Spiced Lamb and Sweet Potato Curry
This curry is full of flavour and is really comforting, the smells you get from the kitchen are so yummy and make it really satisfying to eat. It has a lovely spice flavour and a hint of heat but it doesn’t blow your head off. Lamb takes on spices really well and the potato makes…
Rick’s Malaysian Beef Rendang Recipe

5 2 Diet Meatless Monday – Moroccan Stew Recipe (148 kcal)
So Paulie has decided he wants to shift his extra weight by the summer so he has opted for the 5 2 diet. You have 5 normal days and 2 fasting days where you can only have 600 (men) or 500 (women) calories all day. So I started doing my research to find recipes we…
Spiced Roast Squash and Parma Ham Salad with a Thyme and Balsamic Dressing Recipe
So before the squash’s are completely out of season I thought I would make a salad to savour them until autumn. The salty ham goes so well with spiced squash and the balsamic dressing cuts through the sweetness and saltiness. I love pecans and used them for a treat instead of walnuts. Yum! Ingredients (serves…

Spiced Roast Monkfish on a Smokey Aubergine Puree with an Olive and Caper Sauce Recipe
This dish was really tasty. I really like Tom Kerridge as a chef and he really didn’t disappoint with this recipe.

DIY Garam Masala Powder Recipe
This really blew my mind. I don’t know why I haven’t tried to make my own before. We used to buy garam masala from the supermarket, the smell and taste is unbelievable. I didn’t realise what it is supposed to smell like until now as the one we were buying had a very light smell…
Baked Spiced Lemon Sole with Lime, Capers and Spring Onions Recipe
Oh my, this dish was a corker. I got the recipe from The Mediterranean Dish and slightly adapted the ingredients to make it healthier and to suit our tastes. The sole really stands up to spices and stays extremely moist. I am not a fish skin fan but I even ate all my skin too…

This…
Pan Fried Monkfish on a Cannellini Bean, Tomato and Preserved Lemon Stew Recipe
This time of year requires a big fat hug from comfort food. I try to keep our carbs down by using pulses instead and beans lentils, and chickpea’s are a brilliant way of doing it. I can’t believe monkfish use to be a poor man’s cod as it is so sweet, meaty and delicious. I…
Roast Merguez and Swiss Chard Stuffed Lamb Shoulder Recipe
