We roasted a chicken on Sunday and had it with salad and crusty bread. It was beautiful but it got me thinking about coming up with a recipe that was the tastiest, moistest chicken and one that had the crispiest skin. Somehow there’s nothing worse than having chicken with soggy skin and I think [...]

It’s that time of year when I am craving freshness and light. I never want to see another loaf of bread or bowl of mashed potatoes again (until next autumn when I shall greet them with abandon like a long lost friend) but right now I want fresh and light. Fresh and light. Veggies, [...]

I know that it will soon be Spring and warming up slightly but last weekend it was still freezing and this is the perfect excuse for a slow cooked Sunday lunch. The meat in this dish falls from the bone and lands in the sweetest, syrup of a sauce that has all the body of [...]

It’s Sausage Roll time again! I’m not sure why but I only seem to make these at Christmastime when what I should be doing is making them CONSTANTLY and eating nothing but them right throughout the year. They are that good! I’ve made several batches as they have been requested and I find it best [...]
