Following on from the last post, my goodie box from Donald Russell contained some chicken breasts. The marinade choices were Teriyaki, Creamy Moroccan or Chilli and Lemon. I chose the latter to try. The marinade was superb, giving the chicken flavour and zing. My only qualm was that the breasts […]

Cauliflower and homemade raisins
I do like to understate things rather than over egging them. I’d much rather have a surprise than a disappointment any day. If this dish read as it does on the menu, there wouldn’t be much to write home about. Once I tell you that this dish is made up […]
Lobster Avocado Truffles
I need to start this post by apologising. As these Lobster Avocado Truffles don’t actually have any lobster or truffle in them. They can have both, but I made the cheap version with some crayfish tails instead. I call them truffles as they are super luxurious to eat. They […]
Buttermilk Panna Cotta and Honeycomb Sandwich.
It’s almost Spring here in the UK, a little bit of wishful thinking never hurt anyone. I’ve never been a big panna cotta lover. Maybe too many have been too hard. If I wanted to eat cold hard cream, I can’t usually see past ice cream. I came across this […]
Pumpkin Veloute, Cod and Onion Bhajis
I’ve been asked to showcase a couple of Dan Moon’s (see below) recipes. Dan has taken over as head chef of Ston Easton Park, a most majestic country estate in the South West, lying on the edge of the Mendip hills. Perfect relaxation and beautiful food await. Today I have interpreted […]
Lobster-An alternative Christmas Dinner
I have to admit to acting on impulse on this one. I have never thought about having a massive lobster for Christmas dinner, but next year, I may just do that. This beauty was in the supermarket as a Christmas special, it was 1.5kg in weight and £20. I […]
Homemade Goats Milk Ricotta
I have finally started to make my own cheese. The main reason for this, is that I wanted to make a burrata. A burrata is a filled mozzarella with creamy cheese curds. I had one attempt and the main point of the exercise is to handle the curds as little […]
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 […]
Salmon with Crab Pastillas and Spiced Puy Lentils.
This dish came originally from a starter I had many years ago. I was amazed at how I had a perfectly round salmon fillet rather than a flat piece. I finally found out how they did it and hence this dish was born. The lentils are flavoured with soy […]
