Duck Ragu

My Kitchen Rules is one of my favourite TV shows. I do watch a lot of cookery shows but I feel mildly bereft when a season of MKR comes comes to an end!

Blue Cheese Panna Cotta with Spiced Poached Pear

This post is a long time in the works. I had a dish very similar to this last year in the Tannery as a starter and couldn’t wait to try to recreate it. It is quite festive in flavours so I wanted to wait until near enough to Christmas to post. Unfortunately this means I’m […]

Butterflied Leg of Lamb – in a Kebab!

When Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem was first published the first recipe I tried was his Lamb Shawarma. The recipe has been widely praised. Sadly, I was left disappointed. I know this is almost blasphemous to say, but I felt there were so many spices which did all smell delicious, and such a long cooking time that […]

Malaysian Lentil and Squash Curry

It is such a tasty meal and it’s adapted from Gizzi Erskine’s Bollywood Biriyani in Skinny Weeks & Weekend Feasts […]
