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

Asparagus Mimosa with Crispy Pancetta

This zingy asparagus dish is the roast of the town! I tend to find that asparagus works best when the dishes are straightforward and uncomplicated. Here, I simply bake it, then give it a little something extra with a dressing of lemon, shallots and Dijon mustard.

Happy Hot Dogs with Oh Yeah Yum Slaw

Don’t they make you a squidge more happy just looking at them! They are so fun to serve up for a relaxed supper. Grill them up on the bbq if it’s sunny outside. It’s definitely worth going to the extra mile and buying brioche buns (they freeze really well do) for the soft buttery bun. The Oh Yeah Yum Slaw is fantastic with tonnes of things too! –

Tender, marbled sirloin in a creamy, spicy sauce. This is a classic grilled steak with a peppered sauce and sea salt roasties. Steak can seem simple, but it’s all in the shopping.

Tofu Pad Thai

Pad Thai is definitely become a food cult at the street food market scene, and there are so many reasons why. It’s utterly delicious and satisfying in both flavour and comfort hitting. It’s both fresh and vibrant as well as hearty and warming. Which makesit a brilliant mid-week fast track to supper. I am using a vegan option Tofu, which absorbs all the delicious flavours of spices, herbs and tangy soya and fish sauces, but you can use prawns, chicken or beef too.
