Proper Baked Beans

  When I bought Tom Kerridge’s Proper Pub Food some time ago his recipe for Proper Baked Beans caught my eye. But I never actually made it. Then I saw Jamie Oliver’s Comfort also has a recipe for homemade baked beans. I was wondering if it would really be worth the effort. It is, believe […]

Eggs in Purgatory

I was recently watching reruns of Nigellissima and Nigella was making this dish. I realised it was quite a while since I had made it. So I vowed to put that right and made it the following evening.

Black Pudding and Apple Tart

I struggled a bit with naming this dish. Technically yes, it is a tart. However a tart suggests something far more elegant than this!
