Or rather, celeriac puree plus duck. But the duck isn’t in the recipe. (To cook the duck breast simply place skin side down (prick or slash the skin, prior) in a hot pan without oil and cook for 4 minutes, turn over and cook for another 4 on the other side; slightly less or slightly more to cook r...

The sweet and spicy spice paste for this cod is not unlike an unconstructed harissa, but with the unmistakable scent of saffron. This will suit any white fish fillet you could name and would certainly sprauntz up the slightly cheaper whiting or coley. Serve with couscous, veg and lots of fresh lemon... Comment - Like

I mentioned to a friend of mine, that I would be trying to make scotch eggs with haggis in them, and a look of disgust flashed, albeit briefly, across his face. On probing further the reason for his antipathy, he asked me whether I knew what was in haggis (this coming from a man I’ve seen eat do... Comment - Like

This is a product review. I didn’t buy these cookies, but I was offered no incentive – if that matters – to review them. Just so you know.

I’ve no idea about Korean food, but Ken Hom says these are Korean style so I’ll take him at his word. Either way, these tender kebabs are divine, and should you have the ingredients to hand (I had to shop for the mirin and the spring onions) are a snap to make. I couldn’t taste the pineapple j...

I have eaten many forms of this cheery soup; London Particular, German Split Pea Soup made with bacon or wurste, and most commonly in (for me) Amsterdam, where it is known simply as ‘snert’ and is almost everywhere during the winter months. In fact, it’s a cultural tradition that is almost eve... Comment - Like

These are just amazing. When I look at them, and notice they are not tandoori red nor tell tale tandoori scorched, I cannot kid myself that I am not in my favourite curry house. I do not have a tandoor (oh, how I wish…) and I do not use a red dye in my food. But the taste of them, is comparable wi... Comment - Like

The last of the chicken thighs. Do not be surprised if you don’t see another chicken thigh on here until Easter, such are my feelings of ennui regarding the thigh at the moment.

Sometimes, when eating out, I think it’s ok to make a non-choice. That’s not to say that it isn’t a decision, or a valid decision, but sometimes you don’t want to think of somewhere new, or challenge yourself. Especially when you have a fussy son who only wants to eat pizza. Sometimes you ju... Comment - Like

Pie ‘eck , You’re Gorgeous.
Maybe not strictliest a pie, as this only has a pastry top and no crust. Still, we can kid ourselves that it’s better for us this way as pastry is hardly health food #1. Also, the cut of lamb I’ve used – shoulder – is a fairly fatty cut so I have trimmed as m... Comment - Like

Another genius soup. Cheap (serves 4- 6 for about a quid in total), warming and naturally sweet, this is an easy to make low effort wonder. Lentils and carrots both cost almost nothing, and I had everything else in my cupboard. You’ll want a blender for this.

It feels like autumn here. Which is just fine, because who needs summer anyway? I might miss the cloudless skies, breakfast in the garden, sun on my face, ice creams on the way home from work and sleeping with my windows open, yes, I might miss that. But creamy, carby food in... Comment - Like

These lamb meatballs have become so popular in our house now that I subconsciously almost always have a pack of lamb mince in the freezer just in case.

They say that chicken soup cures all that ails you. Obviously this isn’t accurate. Heartbreak, cancer and mother-in-laws still seem impervious to this wonder drug, but it is true that it can make you feel better about a lot of stuff.

Not just any ham and eggs; Ham in Coca-Cola, The Best Cornbread and Eggs. This meal satisfies me on a level that I can’t really explain – and it would be as good with chips, but part of the reason I make cornbread to go with the ham on a Friday or Saturday night is that the leftovers, se...
