This is my favorite way to cook and serve roast chicken during the fall. The tarragon adds a delicious sweet flavor, mixed with the spicy Dijon mustard and aromatic garlic. The risotto is creamy, so there is no need for a sauce. It’s an ideal supper for a cozy evening at home.
Read MoreI adore this vegetarian bowl of Middle Eastern flavours! Couscous brightened up with fresh herbs, zesty lemon and pops of pomegranates to add juiciness and sweetness. The falafels are so easy to make just pop all the ingredients in a food processor and whizz them up , and shape into patties. I love the aromatic spices in the falafels, bringing exotic flavours to the bowl. Finished off with a drizzle of creamy rich tahini dressing is absolutely delicious!
Read MoreI 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.
Read MoreI think tiramisu has to be my all-time favourite dessert, and this is my top way to make it. I am not going to give any alternatives because, for me, adding fruit or flother flavours just takes away from this perfect pudding – creamy with thin layers of velvet chocolate and notes of coffee throughout.
Read MorePolenta has the same comforting effect as mashed potatoes and the vibrant gremolata really livens up the dish with its freshness.
Read MoreIt’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.

Read MoreThis 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!

Read MoreFor as long as I can remember, every November my mum would make a plum pudding, long enough before Christmas to allow the flavors to strengthen (though you can start it a week before Christmas and still have outstanding results). The Christmas smells would waft through the house, and myself and my brother Jim would start a chorus of carols. Happy plum pudding memories.

Read MoreThe juicy sweetness of blackberries with the sour cooking apples, soaking into the pork while it roasts is incredible. The apple crisps are so simple to make and look fabulous dotted around the serving dish.
Read MoreThis one pot supper is just brilliant, a real crowd pleaser. I have nights (which I am sure you do too), when I just can bare the idea of washing up more than one pan, so I love a casserole where I can cook it all in one pot.
