I must confess that I have no idea where surf and turf originated. As if a steak dinner wasn’t expensive enough, why not throw in half a lobster to bump up the price a bit. I would be inclined to agree that it’s not exactly a match made in […]

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 […]
Guinea Fowl with Scallops, Chorizo and Red Pepper Puree and a Shellfish Bisque.
Today, I set myself a bit of a leftover challenge. The only part of the dish that wasn’t made with leftovers was the guinea fowl(just use chicken if you can’t get it) and scallops. I kept a crab shell from the day before for the bisque. The beans were […]
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 […]

Tandoori Pheasant, Spiced Aubergine Caviar and Poppy Seed Potato Cake.
This dish came about from the remaining pheasants I had left from last month. Game meats are incredibly lean and dry out very quickly. A good way of keeping it moist I thought would be to marinade it. Pheasants only have a mild game taste rather than the heavy irony […]
Guinea Fowl, Morel Sauce and Tarragon Gnocchi
This looks quite a straight forward dish, which it is, if you plan ahead. There are two main parts that make this stand out from the crowd. Firstly a homemade chicken stock and fresh gnocchi need to be made. One trick I’ve found with gnocchi is to not cook them […]
