duck and olive lasagne

Duck and Olive Lasagne

I’m always on the lookout for interesting ways to include duck in recipes and this duck and olive lasagne fits the bill.

luxury lasagne

Luxury Lasagne

This lasagne takes a while to make but is totally worth the effort. Mine is a combination of two recipes, one from Jamie Oliver and the other from Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi plus a couple of tweaks to our own liking.

coq au vin

Coq au Vin

A classic coq au vin uses red wine specifically Burgundy, but different parts of France have their own versions including coq au Jaune (Jura), coq au Reisling (Alsace) and of course coq au Champagne.

roasted cherry tomatoes

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

The flavour of the sweet roasted cherry tomatoes is really magnified by a quick roasting in the oven with a splash of balsamic vinegar.

pigs in mac and cheese

Pigs in Macaroni Cheese

This is a great way to use up any leftover pigs (in blankets) from Christmas dinner. I can say without a doubt that there is none leftover in our house, ever, period. My lot head straight for them bypassing everything else on the table.

bread sauce

Bread Sauce

Easily made ahead of time, bread sauce is the classic accompaniment for the Christmas turkey.

braised red cabbage

Braised Red Cabbage with Apple

I prepare as much of the Christmas dinner as possible in advance. Braised red cabbage can be made and kept in the fridge a couple of days beforehand.

pigs in blankets

Pigs in Blankets

Christmas dinner would not be the same without pigs in blankets. These delicious little porky gems make the perfect accompaniment.

christmas pudding

Christmas Pudding

There are more Christmas pudding recipes on the web and in cookbooks than you can shake a stick at, as the old saying goes. The most often quoted ones seem to be those from Mary Berry and Jamie Oliver. My featured recipe is the one my eldest son uses.
