Zesty Homemade Lemon curd
As a child I used to love this recipe spread on digestive biscuits as a desert – clearly I was easy to please! It’s so straightforward to make and has a real zing to it – so much better than bought spreads which can be full of preservatives. Another thing lemon curd is amazing with…
Yummy Fish Bake
I’m sure that is not the correct title, but that is what I entitled it in my recipe book many years ago and it describes the dish very well! It’s an old recipe from my mum and I thought we’d have a change this week and have some fish. Again don’t be scared to try…
Yorkshire Puddings
My sister lives in Yorkshire so no Sunday dinner is complete without Yorkshire Puddings! A number of years ago I was down looking after my niece and nephews and she left me a lovely piece of roast beef and said ‘the Yorkshire puddings are in the freezer’. In fairness, I had never made them before…
Viennese whirls
Super little recipe for visitors when they pop in and you want to impress with something homemade. What I tend to do is make the biscuits and the butter cream ahead of time and then just assemble when I am ready to use. I have to confess that I no longer pipe out the biscuits…
Venison Cottage Pie
This is an amazingly rich comfort food – it can be made with steak mince but I find the venison adds a deeper flavour to the pie. Also, the onions on the top of the potatoes give the dish a nice crunch. Can be made a couple of days in advance or frozen up to…
Venison casserole with prunes, carrots and oranges
This is a great dish which can be made ahead for a crowd. It’s also great for freezing which is what I do when we are away in the Motorhome and I need a quick and easy dinner. The best accompaniment with this casserole in undoubtedly creamy, mashed potatoes. Ingredients 1kg venison haunch cut into…
Twice Baked Cheese Souffles
This has been of my favourite and impressive starters for years – well until I decided to cook it on MasterChef on a time restriction! Seriously, it’s a firm favourite and most importantly can be made with a variety of cheeses and in advance of your visitors arriving. My original recipe was using Roquefort cheese…
Three Cheese Quesadillas with Pear
This is a fabulous recipe to have for lunch or as a starter at a BBQ. I think the addition of the pear adds an element of surprise to the dish and goes superbly with the blue cheese. Ingredients 1 tbsp. olive oil 30g butter 300g chestnut mushrooms sliced 8 small wholemeal wraps 80g blue…
Thai Minced Pork Lettuce cups
This is a great dish to serve as a starter or used as part of a salad selection. In my original recipe I used little gem lettuce but you can also use iceberg which gives the cups more of a crunch. Entirely up to individual taste! Ingredients Small piece of fresh ginger minced 1 clove…
Thai Chicken & Mushroom Soup
This is one of my favourite soups. I love any kind of Thai food, I think the flavours and tastes are amazing and this winter soup really is quite delicious. The beauty of it is that it is totally versatile and although I have used Mushrooms as my main vegetable, you can change this depending…
