Ok, we are heading out of soup season but for me, the slightest hint of cool weather and I am back into it. I’ve made this Roast Fennel & Tomato soup on two occasions now and I swear on my life, it does not get any easier than this. It is also a...
I had me a serious hankering for slow cooked pork last week and this jogged my memory of a Jamie Oliver recipe I cooked many years ago. I did a little investigating, only to find that it was no longer on his website but I did find many renditions of it, cooked by...
There are so many variations of this rustic and hearty French Classic, Chicken Provencal. It can be adapted to all seasons depending on the produce available and served with any number of sides. Mash, Rice, Quinoa or Crusty Bread to mop up the delicious, comforting...
I am always sprouting on about just how much I love food but after eating this plate of pure Roast Chicken Heaven, I really don’t think I can reiterate just how much. This was so simple, so delightful and so comforting that I was salivating the next day, just...
I know I keep banging on about the weather and I am super happy to see the warmer weather, but I won’t lie. I was not too disappointed to get that last cold snap so that I could happily eat these mind blowingly good Beef Sausages with an epic beer, bacon and...
Ok, I am calling this dish Italian Chicken Stew. It really is a version of Chicken Cacciatore but I have a recipe for that already on the website. This one does differ in many ways, but I know that people cook the other version so I need to differentiate. Truth be...
This is one of my favourite foodies, Jamie Oliver’s Epic Steak recipe from his 5 Ingredients cook book. The recipes are so good and super simple, perfect for busy people and those that find cooking a bit of a task. For those that love cooking like myself, I like...
I am a total pasta lover. For me, it is the epitome of comfort on a plate. It is a weekly staple in our house and almost always on a Monday night. This is for two reasons. After a celebratory weekend I feel the need for carbohydrates (even though Monday is always...
Who doesn’t love a good old Shepherds Pie? Traditionally made with leftover roast lamb which is quite funny as there is rarely leftover roast lamb in our house. This version is rich and satisfying, made with finely minced lamb and a gravy, laden with red wine...
I’m not sure if you saw my recent instagram post about this Irish Lamb Shank dish but it was one of those recipes that evolved from what I had originally planned. It was a cold day and I went to the supermarket with a bit of an idea that I would be making a stew...
Osso Bucco. Classic Italian comfort food consisting of slow cooked beef shin, immersed in a gorgeously rich Italian tomato sauce, topped with a zesty Gremolata. It does not stop there. This divine meal is elevated to foodgasmic heights with the addition of sweet but...
Well wan’t this just a big old bowl of comfort. A pimped up version of potato and leek soup, purely because I had half a cauliflower and a fennel bulb in the fridge that needed to be used and I loathe waste. I roasted the fennel and cauliflower for maximum...
