So, some time ago, one of my brothers posted some pics of fried chicken to our brothers WhatsApp group. Drooling over the pics, I asked where he got the recipe, and he said he used this recipe. Well, naturally I had to give it a go. Rather than doing...

When you think of Fajitas, the first thing you think of generally (I’d imagine) wouldn’t be “ooh Ox Heart”. However, I saw Lee Tiernan at ‘The Big Feastival’ in 2022, and he was talking about using heart for all sorts of things – but in particular, for kebabs or...

It’s something I’ve wanted to make for ages. But it’s a recipe that takes time… For example, I wanted mainly to do beef brisket bao buns, and the brisket alone was going to take a long time. I did recently get a pressure cooker, so I considered using that,...

So this is the 5th time at least I’ve done this now, and I’m starting to get the hang of it. It is really quite easy, actually, although as per my previous bacon posts, you’ve gotta make sure you get the basics right. So, for Christmas, I’d asked for...

So I do love a Lasagne. Who doesn’t? I remember going out with the kids, and we stopped for lunch in one of the museums in London. My youngest is super obsessed with pasta, and saw a lasagne on the menu. I leant over and said (“it’s vegetarian though”)...

In what has pretty much become a solid tradition for me, it was New Year’s Eve and that meant one thing: Beef Wellington. I don’t think I’ve cooked this at any other time of year…! Last year we went round to my brother’s and cooked it there. The trouble...

OK so the 2022 Christmas Gammon, here we go. I often forget to take pictures, but having got back into doing this blog recently, I decided to make sure I took as many as possible. It ended up I had 3 million photos, so I then had to go...

I love doing this recipe. As I write this, I have 6.5Kg of Gammon soaking in Orange Juice, Water, and Juniper Berries. The post about that one, however, will be in a week or two, as I can’t write about it before it’s cooked! However, I came across some...

So I’m digging back through my photos, looking over 2022, and up popped a bunch of pics from my 40th. Gordon Ramsay has always been one of my favourite chefs, simply because it’s simple, straight forward, quality food – cooked well. I’ve been to Haddon Street Kitchen more times...

Reflecting back on some of the dishes I’ve done this year, I thought this one was worth writing about. I saw a post somewhere, some time long ago, where someone – rather than cooking as short ribs, and cooked a rack of these ribs all as one. It looked...
