This is a simple dish, making the best of each ingredient. How many of us buy celery for a ragu and then have twice as much languishing about in the larder for two weeks? Guilty! One great use of it is in a creamy salad like this blue cheese and […]

Vegetarian Gluten Free Lasagne.
Sometimes it’s good to be challenged in life. Trying to make a vegetarian gluten free lasagne without pasta is one of those. There are some gluten free lasagne sheets on the market, but quite frankly, they’re disgusting. Hence I thought I’d make my own. It’s a fairly simple thing to […]
Wild Mushroom Risotto
I’ve decided to add this wild mushroom risotto to the blog, so that it gives vegetarians an inspiration for a Christmas dinner rather than a plate full of roasted vegetables. The recipe is straight forward once you’ve made the stock. A lot of effort goes into christmas gravy and all […]
Hazelnut Crusted Salmon, Rosti, Artichoke Puree and Chestnuts.
My new favourite thing is to crust fish. Whether that be with a beer batter, tempura or breadcrumbs I don’t think you can beat a crust followed by lovely light fish flesh. As you may know from following the blog, we are avoiding gluten, so a nice floury or breadcrumb […]

Scallop Heaven
One of my all time favourite foods are scallops. I only ever eat them as a starter though and always want more. This led me to try and devise a main course scallop dish. This is the first version of it. I have a second of a Maldivian curry. This […]
Duck a la Bigarade and How to prepare Artichokes
How could I resist some plump looking artichokes in the supermarket the other day. Well, as they are a faff I can quite easily look the other way. I thought they can’t be that difficult to prepare though, so why not. The sauce a la bigarade is a more […]
Passion Fruit Curd Cheesecake
This is not a post for Valentines Day. If you want to impress anyone, there are plenty of recipes on this blog that will tick the box for that occasion. It is a wonderful alternative to a chocolate fondant though. For those that have followed this blog for a while, […]
