One saying in life which is absolutely true is that “necessity is the mother of invention.” My necessity of late is to create gluten free and dairy free dinners. Ordinarily this is quite straight forward, just eat steak and chips. Then the realisation that you can’t eat steak and chips […]

Plaice with a Lemon Sabayon and Brown Shrimp Sauce
Firstly, apologies for the delay in putting up a new post. Work has been manic( I almost wasn’t going to be here today either, a transatlantic rescue mission didn’t come about at the last minute.) including having to do homework three nights on the bounce last week. I think […]
Cod Rarebit, Serrano Ham Crisp and a Crispy Quail Egg.
I cooked this cod rarebit dish when I had my parents visiting. It must have been good as my mother couldn’t stop talking about it! It’s such a straight forward dish to prepare and can be ready in 10minutes if prepared ahead. For those that haven’t come across rarebit before, […]

Pan Roast Salmon with a Lemon and Dill Sabayon and Broccoli Coucous
This is a delightful refreshing dinner for those awkward times between Christmas and New Year. It is delicious and an impressive treat to serve up over the weekend if you have guests coming. This can be knocked up in just over half an hour too.[purerecipe]
Liquid Ravioli, Celeriac Crumble, Chicken, Parmesan and Tuffle Foam.
Part of this dish came from leftovers, the other part inspiration from my travels. At Pollen Street Social I had a superb fish dish with celeriac crumble. I googled this and couldn’t find a recipe anywhere. So, I bought a celeriac, cut some nice symmetrical pieces from it and fondanted […]
