Love them or loathe them brussel sprouts are a Christmas dinner staple. This dish promises to convert sprout haters with the divisive veg served with cranberries, pancetta and chestnuts.
This Roast Tarragon Chicken with Chestnut Mushroom Risotto is great for serving to large gatherings of friends. The chicken is marinated in herbal tarragon and spicy mustard, and the creamy risotto acts as both a bed for the bird and a natural sauce. Made with milk from grass-fed cows, the Salted Butter helps bring out the flavor of both parts of this mouthwatering dish.
I love a good banana cake, but can’t stand those dull variations with little to no flavour. A good one has to be made with overripe bananas, otherwise that taste gets lost. In fact, this is a fantastic way to use up bananas that have blackened. Though the cake is still lovely without frosting, this one is light and fluffy with a delicious hint of coconut.
Prawn laksa (spicy noodle soup). This quick meal for two hails from Malaysia and takes just 20 minutes to prepare. Warming prawn noodle broth with spicy Laksa paste is topped with coriander and lime wedges.
The spices bring out their natural oils and flavour, the chicken locks in the juices. I use chickpeas but I sometimes use cannellini beans, or a tin of mixed beans.
A tart, tasty Blackberry Pie is a great way to say goodbye to summer. It’s a flavourful treat with a butter shortcrust. Hints of cinnamon in the filling and lemon in the crust will make it a new favorite at your family’s table.
A spongey Cloudy Coconut Cake. Clodagh mixes lemon, coconut, vanilla and butter to make this tasty and fragrant treat. So, fill up your kitchen with the sweet smell of coconut and grab some plates. With flavors this good, nobody can resist!
