Rachel’s Tomato, Pork and Fennel Soup
This is seriously one of the yummiest soups ever and it’s all thanks to my darling friend Rachel. I really want to claim this as my own but to my detriment I am such a goody-good and too scared of being hammered for plagiarism plus I kinda like my friend, just a little, so I…
Weeknight Pork Ragu
It’s only Wednesday, only half way through the week and I’m pooped! Anyone else? Maybe it’s because it’s the middle of winter and the cold zaps all my energy or maybe it’s because of the crazy busy social weekend I just had. Either way all I want to do right now is curl up, on…
Quick Beef Bolognese with Penne Pasta
Tomorrow is my four year wedding anniversary to my gorgeous husband. Four years married and 14 years since our first date, seems like such a long time! We decided on our first wedding anniversary that we wouldn’t buy gifts for one another, instead we would go out to dinner every year. Granted, my husband does…
Steak, Mushroom and Stout Pie
I don’t know anyone that doesn’t love a big comforting pie and this pie is no exception. It has a delicious savoury beef and mushroom filling topped with buttery flaky pastry. Mmmmm what could be better on a cold Autumn day. I had originally planned to post this for St Patrick’s Day. Whilst I might…
Asian Inspired Pork Pot Stickers
Obsessed is an understatement when it comes to describing my love of dumplings right now. From the moment I got pregnant I couldn’t get enough of these delightful little morsels. In the last four months I have had more Chinese takeaways and more Yum Cha that I care to disclose, because, well, its an embarrassingly…
Chorizo, Chickpea and Tomato Stew
Woo hoo!! It’s the last day of winter today. Yay! It is a classic miserable, dreary, overcast and rainy winter day. But I don’t mind because today is the last day of all that nonsense and tomorrow is spring. Tomorrow will be the most glorious sunny spring day. Beautiful and warm and perfect for a…
Slow Cooked Beef Cheeks in Red Wine
Before I proceed I need to make this very clear: this dish is utterly delicious! We are talking mouth watering tender beef in (arguably) the worlds best and most velvety sauce. This really is comfort at its best and a perfect wintertime dish. So now we’ve got that straight and you’re convinced that you just…
Beef, Mushroom and Kale Lasagna
My husband Will is all about bucket lists at the moment. He has a very elaborate one which is up to 43 and counting (compared with my uninspired 15 which he constantly reminds me about). I must admit, he does have some great ideas, including eating at some michelin starred restaurants,travelling the world and participating…
