Portuguese chicken thighs I love the spicy, flavoursome marinade used in this dish, and the sweet mango salsa is a perfect partner! Not to mention it’s bright and friendly looking. I’ve used chicken thighs because they are so tender and juicy – you can use bone-in or out, skin on […]

Quite possibly my favourite cut of lamb, they are juicy, hugely flavoursome and have great texture with no pesky bones. My husband can eat one all to himself when he’s hungry, but normally a half would do for the average eater. Just make sure you only cut them after they […]
Mexican food is fun, vibrant and tasty – and it’s easy to create a great Mexican-style meal at home without needing a store bought kit! I love having as many extra garnishes as I can on the table; sour cream, guacamole, chilli sauce, fresh herbs – the more colours the […]
Is there anything more delicious and satisfying than a tasty homemade pie with rich, meltingly tender beef and crispy puff pastry? I just love them. The cooking time may seem a little long, but after 15 minutes you walk away and let the oven (or slow cooker) do the rest […]
Tender French Lamb Stew This is my take on a classic French dish — it’s simple to make, uses relatively inexpensive (yet ridiculously tasty) cuts of lamb and tastes deeeelicious. And instead of saggy old vegetables hanging out in the stew, it’s served with lovely vibrant freshly steamed veg with […]
This is one of my most popular recipes – a favourite from Everyday Delicious (this is the improved version of the one previously on my website). A long, slow simmering makes for a rich, flavoursome, Italian-Mama-approved Spaghetti Bolognese; it should not be rushed. It will seem as if there is […]
These cookies are quick and easy to make and the flavours are gorgeous! Smooth, bitey dark chocolate, crunchy creamy hazelnuts and a hint of orange. You can use a food processor to make the cookie dough as well, which is even better – just fold the chocolate and nuts through […]

Chocolate mint cheesecake This dark chocolate and peppermint cheesecake recipe is to die for – mint and dark chocolate is already a match made in heaven, but add in the silky richness of cream cheese and it takes everything to a whole new level. If you don’t have tart cases, […]
Beer battered fish is a delicious treat, perfect in a homemade burger – and it’s so simple! The key to getting these burgers perfect is not overcooking the fish – I always do a small test piece first. If the oil is too hot, the batter will brown quickly but […]
