I sometimes struggle with courgettes. They’re not my first choice but this is a flavoursome recipe that will restore even the biggest courgette critic’s faith in this humble vegetable. It can also be made vegan by substituting the cheese and cream with the alternatives suggested below.
This is a recipe that needs a watchful eye, as risotto can stick if you’re not tending to it constantly, but it’s easy to make and tastes wonderful.
This is a quick pasta dish that is sure to impress. My wee girls really like this, but it’s equally impressive as a weekend date night meal, served with a nice bottle of Cirò Rosso. Magnifico!
Is anyone else eating lots of cake at the moment or is it just me? I’ve been working a lot at the new restaurant lately and cups of tea and cake are the fuel getting me through the long days. This my spin on a German cake that was made for me by a customer. One slice is never enough.
Celeriac & blue cheese soup: A tasty treat Celeriac soup is one of my own favourites – as is blue cheese. It’s a vegetable which is available all year round and works so well in soups.
This is a super-easy dip that can be made in minutes and tastes so good with tortilla chips, pitta bread or even chunks of bread. The sweet, spicy and salty combination makes it an absolute winner and great for a wee night in with friends.
Chicken involtini with sun-dried tomato pesto These might sound complicated but are actually very simple to make. There are a few steps involved but certainly nothing that’s too much effort. If you're making this for a special occasion the chicken and sauce can be prepped in advance so all you need to do is throw them together in a pan when you're ready to eat.
Pork cheeks is something not many people would think to cook but its one of the tastiest parts in my opinion when it comes to pork. Slow braised in a red wine sauce is the best way to go.
I’m a coffee addict, and this is the perfect accompaniment to my mid-morning cappuccino fix. It’s one of these cakes you can’t stop picking at... creamy coffee deliciousness.
