Olive, Butternut Squash & Feta Galette

This crispy savoury galettes looks like it would be hard to make but I promise you it is so easy. I use shop bought filo pastry, the one that is made with butter –that’s important as it gives that delicious buttery flavour and great crispy texture. The roasted butternut squash brings a delicious caramel flavour which works really well with the sharp flavour of feta and earthiness of the olives.

Classic Italian Pork & Beef Ragù

I make it with half pork and half beef – the minced beef alone makes for a coarse chunky sauce, but adding the pork makes it sweeter and fuller in flflavour. I always double up the recipe as it freezes so well. Delicious served with pappardelle as here, it is also perfect with linguine or spaghetti, and of course lots of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.
