Scotch Egg Pasties
I have been wanting to know how to make Scotch Eggs for a while and actually only discovered quite recently (to my horror) that they are deep fried!! OK, so a Scotch Egg is never going to be healthy, but these are a helluva lot healthier and actually they look a lot more appetizing than…

Vegetable Risotto
Risotto is an amazingly delicious rice dish. It is very labor-intensive, but since learning how to make it a few years back, I’ve never made traditional rice again. It is so versatile.

Chicken Provencal with Olives,Anchovies & Orange Gremolata
Chicken Provencal is my go-to comfort food. We’re talking chick-flick-and-bottle-of-wine, comfy. Fuzzy-slippers, comfy. Let-the-laundry-pile-up-on-Sunday-afternoon, comfy.

Ingredients: 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 14.5 can diced tomatoes, drained…

Sumac Chicken
A simple dish that is as easy to make as it is full of flavor. Put it together in 5 minutes then forget about it for an hour, and voila: delicious, fall-off-the-bone chicken that tastes, well, of sumac. Sumac is a bit tart?but not overly. It tastes like lemon and is therefore delicious on dishes…

Braised Lamb Shanks with Cider/Guiness
In the winter nothing is better than a braise or a stew. Lamb shanks are the perfect choice for such a dish. With a long, slow braise the meat becomes tender and begins to fall off the bone and it is the perfect thing to prep quickly and leave simmering on the stove all day.…
