This dish is a quintessential British summer on a plate, not that it has arrived yet! It’s actually two desserts in one so feel free to steal whichever one appeals to you more. The treacle tart is something I’ve been meaning to make for years. While making it I was […]
Lessons
Salmon En Croute (Brioche)
I’ve seen a few versions of encased pastry dishes made with brioche rather than puff pastry. I’ve made a brioche before and hence when I was looking for a Salmon Coulibiac dish the two blended together and ended up with this. For once though, I have step by step photographs […]
Brill, Pomme Dauphine with Crab Ravioli
With this post I think I’ll begin with the potatoes. Pomme Dauphine are half mash half choux pastry potato dumplings. You have to deep fry them, but they are super light and a small amount of mixture makes a lot of dauphines! For readers that follow this blog regularly, […]
Smoked Duck, Walnut and Blue Cheese Salad with Beetroot Sorbet
We were entertaining at the weekend and this was our starter. I do believe it was the meal of the evening. Never has a plate of food been so well received. It is all served cold and quite simple to produce. I bet many of you will be book […]
Chicken Katsu Kiev

Sunday Roast.
People often ask me when they see my blog, “Do you eat like this every day?”. I wouldn’t say every day, but certainly most. This dish was my interpretation of a Sunday Roast. It could be called Roast Chicken with Manchego stuffing balls, Parmesan Crisp, Asparagus Puree and Mushroom […]
Chorizo and Tomato Raviolis with Sage Wrapped Pork Fillet.
Last year in my annual Xmas hamper I received some tomato powder. I hadn’t the faintest idea of how to use it or what to do with it. I was thinking of making a tomato ice cream. Luckily, before I did that I thought of this, tomato pasta. I […]
Port and Stilton Truffles
I know posting a chocolate recipe only a month after Christmas is the last thing most people will be thinking about. I’ve posted it now for those that might want to make a special something for Valentines Day. I’ll be at 36,000′ so I don’t need to do anything […]
Sea Bass with Seaweed Potatoes
Continuing the lighter themed meals after we’ve all been indulging over the past 10 days or so. I have created this taste of the sea dish. It will be work with any kind of fish, I just happened to get a good batch of sea bass this day. It isn’t […]
