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 […]

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 […]
When is a bowl of pasta not a bowl of pasta? When it’s gluten free!
I don’t usually succumb to demands from my wife about what dishes to post on the blog. I like to keep to my theme. Blogs are basically about sharing information and new ideas to everyone though, so since we’ve made a breakthrough it deserves to be posted. For those people […]

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 […]
Maple and Orange Pork, Pea Pesto and Potato Rosti.
To create this maple and orange pork tenderloin with pea pesto I wanted to enhance the dry pork fillet. My favourite way of moistening meat is to brine it. I was a little wary of doing this to pork as I may have ended up with a large bacon fillet. […]
Three Way Pork with an Apple Sauce.
This three way pork dish is getting back to the food I love. We all know about buying quality ingredients and treating them correctly, but for once, I wanted to try and do things on a bit of a budget. For this dish, per serving, the cost was less than […]
