Sorry it's been so long
2008-05-23 17:50:00 The pressures of work are telling, I'm afraid. I am trying my best to free-up more time for blogging (and cooking!) but it's hard! Work hours are too long, weekends have been spent 'remodelling' (read digging-up) the garde More About: Long
The Morel of the Story
2008-04-03 18:18:00 So there I was at my local greengrocers on Easter Saturday morning when the boss, Angie, took me to one side and said "I've got something for you..." And there in a little plastic crate was a small pile of brown gold - morels More About: Story , The Story

Sweetbreads for lunch?
2008-03-19 00:00:00 I couldn't help myself. The butcher had a little tray of voluptuous pink lovehearts on Saturday morning. Perfect little lambs' sweetbreads for lunch it was... and all for me More About: Lunch
Ratatouille, Ratatouille
2008-03-17 09:31:00 It's not often that I can say my cooking is influenced by a cartoon... but I finally got round to watching Pixar's Ratatouille recently and it inspired me to cook something completely out of season. Sad really, but there we are. R

Oxtail stew

Valentine's Seduction (Part 3)
2008-02-13 09:05:00 Let's be honest, it's about chocolate. What we need is something hot, fudgy, sweet, rich and - above all - chocolatey... A good chocolate pudding has a crisp, toothsome crust and a gooey, dreamy middle. More About: Part , Part 3 , Seduction

Little Seville Orange Cakes

Take One Ingredient: Seville Orange
2008-01-21 09:02:00 The Seville (or Bitter) Orange is a strange fruit. Too sour to eat as one would usually with an orange, its perfume allows it to be used in cooking to make some quite exceptional dishes. The Seville Orange is used as the grafting stock fo More About: Ingredient

2008-01-08 09:04:00 Channel 4 did well with Jamie's School Dinners a few years back, by adding a campaigning tint on the traditional cook show. Well, they're at it again with a series involving St Jamie again, along with Gordon Ramsay and Hugh Fearnl More About: Chicken
A winter fruit salad
2007-12-28 10:19:00 With all the Christmas pudding, rich fruit cake, chocolates, cream and all the other lovely but quite unhealthy things, a fruit salad can be an excellent tonic. The problem being, of course, finding decent fruit in season. More About: Winter , Fruit , Salad , Fruit Salad

Roasted tomato and garlic sauce
2007-11-29 21:56:00 You know you're becoming a local somewhere by the actions of the shopkeepers. I was off work last week (between jobs, not sciving!) and went into the village one morning. The manager of the wine shop waved at me through the window.&nb More About: Garlic , Tomato , Sauce

An open lasagna of pheasant
2007-11-06 00:00:00 Is it a lasagna? Maybe it's an open ravioli? Anyway, it's just a quick way of making a lasagna without the white sauce and all that baking. This is a great way of using-up left-over pheasant - particularly leg meat. More About: Open , Lasagna

Pheasant with star anise, ginger, noodles and broccoli
2007-11-01 10:13:00 Based largely on a Rick Stein recipe, this is a great way of dealing with a pheasant.
