Lamb Chops with Crushed Peas, Mint Jus & Pan-fried Potatoes
Lamb Chops with Crushed Peas, Mint Jus & Pan-fried Potatoes

I just love a juicy lamb chop! My recipe is a classic, as that’s how I like them best. I always have frozen peas in the freezer and a few potatoes lying around, so it makes this whole dish very easy. If you want to jazz it up a bit, you can add crushed fennel to the lamb chops, or cream up your frozen peas by whizzing them with crème fraîche, lime and coriander. A couple of tips for the lamb chops to keep them juicy – remove them from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and be careful not to overcook them. They should still be pink on the inside.

CHICKEN, TARRAGON AND MUSHROOM PIE

It’s the weather that dictates what you crave for your supper, well at least it is for me. In these chilling evenings for me it’s comforting foods and even the word pie is comforting, with its crispy top and luscious creamy filling. Now the idea of making your own puff pastry may not lend itself to the appeal of making a pie, so I have made this pie with a readymade butter puff pastry.

3 Bean Chilli
3 Bean Chilli

This three-bean vegetarian chili is a wonderfully simple, one-pot no-fuss dish. The results are magical, a richly flavoured meal that only gets better with time, like a fine wine, if you can make it a day ahead. Serve it up in a large warmed bowl for everyone to help themselves, along with smaller bowls of guacamole, rice, grated cheese and tortilla chips. The perfect Friday night feast!

Rich, salted butter is studded with delightful bites of shellfish, fresh herbs and everyone’s summer farm stand favorite, sweet corn. Serve this easy appetizer for a crowd and one pot will deliver plenty of bites of decadence. Sorry avocado toast, there’s a new topping in town.

Japanese Tempura With Soy Dipping Sauce
Japanese Tempura With Soy Dipping Sauce

One of the most simple and delicious Japanese dishes! Tempura is very lightly battered and deep fried to create a light, crispy coating – you can tempura so many different things but prawns and vegetables are my favourite.The trick is to make sure that you don’t coat the vegetables or prawns too heavily, and the oil should be very hot so that you get that delicious crispiness.

Fish & Chips with Tartare Sauce
Fish & Chips with Tartare Sauce

Who doesn’t love fish and chips! Growing up in Ireland it was always the treat on a Friday night, served in newspaper, eating it on the pier. I don’t live by the sea now and so it’s become something that I do at home when I miss my other home, Ireland. The batter is light and crisp (make sure theoil is very hot), chips are crunchy and floury on the inside (I like a maris piper) and a homemade tartare sauce that you can make in under 5 minutes. Hello Friday
