I never could resist mashed potato. My favourite bit of a roast dinner when I was younger, I always used to request lots of mash and gravy and a little bit of everything else! So by default, Shepherd’s pie and cottage pie are two of my favourite comfort foods. Personally, I love my Shepherd’s Pie with lots of green veg and plenty of gravy.Chris likes it like that too, but his favourite way of eating it is to save some for breakfast the next day, then fry it up and serve it on bread with ketchup....
One thing that I absolutely love as a recipe creator, is when I put a plate of food down in front of people, and the conversation stops the moment the first bite is taken. Just quiet, wide-eyed, satisfied munching, with the occasional ‘Mmmmm’ and ‘oh my god, it’s so good’ until it’s all gone. That moment when everyone wants to focus all of their senses on what they’re eating, and nothing else matters....

From a traditional Lancashire hotpot, to roast lamb, to lamb curry (lamb works REALLY well in a curry), Korean style lamb cutlets and my crispy lamb salad (my favourite salad of all time), it’s such a versatile meat that works well in so many flavour combinations....
My sticky Chinese pork belly has long been one of the favourites on the blog. I’ve made it for Chinese banquets, served strips of it on sticks for buffets (empty dish in 5 minutes flat – I should have made more!), a gluten-free version, using tamari (just as good), served as Gua Bao, and now I’m turning it into a burger!! Why is this sticky pork belly so good? It’s all in the 3-stage cooking process: It’s one of those recipes where silence takes over the room for a few minutes, just while people take in those first bites....
I made this cheesecake a couple of weeks ago based on a freelance recipe I did last year. I was craving crispy candied pecans (it’s a good idea to make double the amount needed for this cheesecake, just for snacking purposes!) and this recipe jumped into my head. A few adjustments later - to give it more of a winter feel with some warming spices, and also to convert to gluten free for my mum-in-law, and yessss!...
Before I start going on about sugary crunchy sprinkles over tart apples (Yum), I wanted to say a big thank you to Bon Bon Break Magazine for publishing my No-Bake Strawberry and Vanilla Cheesecake. I was so excited when they asked me if they could feature it in their online magazine. Please take a look, they’ve got loads of great recipes as well as sections on crafts, parenting tips, gardening and loads more....
Only a few more days left before we all stop our crazy over-eating and drinking and turn into health freaks. That’s the plan anyway. More exercise, less stuffing-my-face and all of those other things that will make me feel like i’m doing a good job of this adulting thing. Do you have any New Year’s resolutions? Here are mine: Until that time…….. I’m going to enjoy the chocolate and the cocktails!...

Just imagine - breaking though the crunchy, sweet crust into a soft, custardy, spongey centre smothered with the happy sweetness of Nutella and caramel sauce. If you’re feeling extra extravagant then why not top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of the warm caramel sauce. Trust me, it reaaally hits the spot. I was having the dilemma a couple of days ago. The kids were tucked up in bed, and I fancied something sweet....
This is my kind of Friday night dinner when it’s been raining and miserable all day and you just want something really tasty to warm you up from the inside. I’d contentedly scoff every bit of this dish, but that sauce over mashed potatoes? Yes, I could eat that for the rest of my life and not get bored. The meat is browned and then slow cooked with stock and cider until lovely and tender....
I often use ready-made pastes when I’m making a Thai curry, but it’s actually quicker than you think to whip up your own paste from scratch. Five minutes extra and a food chopper to wash - not too much to ask for a dinner that’s fresh and delicious (and also means you don’t have to put that half-used jar of Thai paste on the top shelf of the fridge along with the other 5 jars you forgot you bought!...

Do you know how difficult it was just having a few bites of one of these Ferrero Rocher Brownies with Milk Chocolate Ganache? I’ve been trying to be good this week - my jeans are feeling a little tight after the over-indulgence of the summer holidays. There was no way I could refrain completely from having a taste, but fortunately for me, the two large batches I made of these extremely naughty brownies were gone in less than 24 hours....
It took me a long time to figure out how to cook the perfect steak, consistently well, every time.I’ve served up many overcooked, chewy steaks in our early dating days! For something that seems so simple, there are lots of variables, which can be confusing! Now I’ve got great steak cooking under my belt, I’ve come up a no-fail, step-by-step plan, covering each of those variables, so you can be confident in the kitchen to cook beautiful, juicy steak....
It’s British Sandwich week! And what could be better that a toasted sandwich, stuffed with spicy Korean steak, jalapenos, peppers, melty cheese and garlic mayo? Nothing. Nothing is the answer. I know I posted about veggie week previously, but that starts on Monday, so I’m getting a quick meat fix before upping those veggie meals. Kind of like the Dairy Milk fix I have to do before going on a health kick…....
Pancake experimentation. The possibilities are limitless! 90% of the time I stick to my classic pancake recipe (the one I use in my blueberry lemon cheesecake pancakes), but every so often I like to experiment and try something different. These ricotta pancakes came around after Chris and I took a trip to London. We had breakfast in Kings Cross at a restaurant called Granger and Co. I had Ricotta hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter, and wow!...
Overdid it slightly with the easter eggs… How is it that a grown woman can sit on the sofa and eat easter eggs until she literally feels sick? And I’m not even talking one time, I’m talking every evening for 5 days!! I’m a certified chocolate addict, so my chocolate drugged brain told me it was better to get it eaten and out of the way. Now all my eggs have gone (and I’m starting to think about ‘saving’ the kids from having too much of their chocolate), I really should try to be good....
In fairness, we don’t usually eat muffins for breakfast, but when we’re late for swimming lessons and the kid’s are telling me they’ll drown from lack of energy if they don’t eat before they swim, I have no qualms about slicing a muffin in two and telling them to stuff it down their necks quick! We seem to be pretty organised on school days, but those swimming lessons mean we have to leave the house at 7:30 on a Saturday....
These wings go SO fast! I only bought 1kg of them, and everyone whizzed through them like cartoon characters zooming through corn-on-the-cob at high speed!They make a fantastic appetizer or game day treat, but equally they make a fab treat dinner served with a few sides.I’m totally obsessed with the barbecue sauce too. This recipe makes enough to smother the wings, with another cupful or so leftover to serve on the side or to save and use as a dip for fries or to top burgers and sausages....
