cassoulet

Cassoulet

This delicious duck dish is fancy enough to impress your friends while equally simple enough to serve up as a family supper. Made with classic French ingredients like Toulouse sausages, garlic, cannellini beans and fresh thyme, this dish is packed full of delicious flavours.

steak and kidney pudding

Steak and Kidney Pudding

This rich and flavoursome steak and kidney pudding is full of juicy meat, swirled in a thick gravy sauce that will just melt in the mouth.

spanish chicken tray bake

Spanish Chicken Bake

It’s been a long day and you want to make something that’s easy and needs very little washing up afterwards. What you need is a Spanish-style one-pan chicken bake made with juicy chorizo, chicken and vegetables.

baked whole turbot

Baked Whole Turbot

When cooked fresh, turbot meat is subtly flavoured and sweet. (It also stores well and can be kept for a few days due to its mild flavour and high gelatine content.) Turbot can be filleted, then steamed or sautéed. But I like to make serving turbot into a family occasion and roast the fish whole to be shared at the table.

Chilli con carne with rice

Chilli con Carne

An all-time tex-mex classic chilli con carne recipe, low in fat and using mainly store cupboard ingredients.

pork chops with rhubarb

Pork Chops with Rhubarb

This savoury-tart-sweet combination takes the classic pairing of pork and fruit to a whole new level.

roasted duck leg

Slow Roasted Duck Leg Casserole

Try cooking with tender duck legs – they taste best braised in rich sauces, slow-cooked in a casserole, or turned into luxurious confit. The skin is great when roasted until crisp.

hake bake

Baked Hake Spanish Style

A fabulous recipe for low-fat oven-baked fish and chips that uses one pan! This will prove to be a family favourite at the supper table and uses the whole hake in place of cod or haddock fillets, which is a more sustainable fish to use. Children will love its mild taste too.

stir fried whelks

Stir-Fried Whelks

Next time you visit the seashore, find some rocks, search out some of our humble whelks and give this recipe a go, you will never look at a whelk the same way again.
