Roasted Vegetables with Tonnato Sauce

Charred Vegetables with Tonnato Sauce

Ever heard of Vittelo Tonnato? It’s a dish from Northern Italy, very popular in ’80’s. Consisting of a creamy mayonnaise-like sauce flavoured with tuna and anchovies, served with cold sliced veal.  It may sound odd to you but this combination works tremendously well. The dish was born thanks to a particularly creative chef who wanted…

Panna cotta with Rosehip Coulis

Panna cotta is possibly the most delicate of all desserts, an extremely fragile mound of cream and milk, occasionally dusted with vanilla, and set with the merest amount of gelatine to just hold its form.

Elderberry poached pears

Elderberry Poached Pears

I love to forage as autumn arrives, it’s not just about finding free food, I feel a real connection with nature.

Then marinated in a tasty, piquant tomato sauce. …

Spaghetti with lemon, asparagus & a golden yolk

Spaghetti with Lemon, Asparagus and a Golden Yolk

This pasta dish is fresh, zesty, zingy and super tasty! With asparagus at their absolute best in the month of May, combined with lemon, Parmesan and a golden yolk is just the sort of easy, quick and appetising meal I like.  It really couldn’t be more simple to make yet tastes amazing. Spaghetti or spaghettini…

Spiced poached pears with vanilla mascarpone

Simple and Light Spiced Pears

During the festive, season I find that there is an abundance of rich food, the Christmas pudding with brandy butter is not a favourite of mine so I always like to offer an alternative lighter option. With their juicy flesh and mellow fruity personality, pears take well to slow simmering in flavoursome liquids such as a fruity red wine or…

I hope you all had a good Easter weekend and were I hope you all had a good Easter weekend and were able to catch up with family or friends after time apart. 

I just wanted to jump on here this morning to say I’m taking a little step back from Instagram for a while to dedicate time to recipe development and research. You’ll find me on stories though, I’m not completely disappearing. Hopefully you can bear with me for a few weeks. 😊
Have a great short week friends.

Wild Garlic Garganelli 🌱 What do you do when y Wild Garlic Garganelli 🌱

What do you do when you find yourself with lots of wild garlic and a delivery of fresh eggs? You make pasta of course!  With the season just beginning, it’s just too tempting not to use these fragrant leaves in just about everything.
What have you been making with your wild garlic?
