Breaded Veal
This was going to be veal milanese (breaded veal, coated in egg, herbs and parmesan then rolled in breadcrumbs) but I didn’t have any eggs. Instead, I coated the veal with mustard (much like last Friday’s chicken), sprinkled on some dried herbs de provence (Stephen chopped some fresh parsley too but I forgot it ), […]
Read More..>>Pheasant on Toast and Springbok with Espresso Sauce
I went to Borough Market on Friday, primarily to stock on some Mexican ingredients we were running low on but also to buy some springbok. We ate quite a lot of it when we were in South Africa and were keen to cook it again at home. While I was there, I also spotted some […]
Read More..>>Haggis Tart
Last year, we made haggis sausage rolls as a starter before the traditional Burn’s Night meal of haggis, neeps and tatties. We remembered them fondly so, this year, decided to cook just the sausauge rolls. What we both particularly liked about the sausage rolls was the outside edge where the meat meets the pastry and […]
Read More..>>Duck Breast with Fondant Potatoes
We’ve been away on holiday so, what with Christmas and two weeks in the sun, we’re now even further behind with posts than we were. I have a lot to get through but this seemed like a good place to start. While away in South Africa (more on that to follow), we visited the Springfield […]
Read More..>>Jessica’s, Montagu
Montagu was a strange place, like stepping back in time. We stayed at the Country House Hotel which has retained many of it’s original art-deco furnishings, they offered us sherry when we arrived to refresh us after our journey (locally produced and something the town is very proud of but it was 40 degrees outside, […]
Read More..>>Chilli Wraps with Garlicky Greens
Another quick and easy dinner from the freezer of chilli with more of those garlicky greens I talked about yesterday. We usually have lettuce in Mexican-style wraps but the greens worked well, not as fresh or crunchy as the lettuce obviously but an interesting change. Since these were already in the fridge and the chilli […]
Read More..>>Venison Sausages
Oh dear, we ate this on Bonfire night, which is quite a long time ago now. I seem to have got out of the habit of posting again, sorry. The most interesting thing about this was the fact that we used those strange purple potatoes but now I see they didn’t even make it into […]
Read More..>>Venison and Red Wine Pie
On our way back from the New Forest, we tried to buy some venison for dinner but couldn’t find any anywhere. Each shop we tried told us that they were expecting their delivery shortly but nothing had arrived so far. In the end, we gave up and bought some from our local butcher when we […]
Read More..>>A Week in Devon
We spent last week in Devon, staying near Totnes which Wikipedia describes in the following way “It has a sizeable alternative and “New Age” community, and is known as a place where one can live a bohemian lifestyle.†While I’m not sure bohemian is exactly the right way to describe us, we certainly enjoyed a […]
Read More..>>Barbecued Rose Veal with Salmoriglio
We haven’t done nearly enough barbecuing this year so, as we had a little more time than normal tonight, Stephen rolled out the Weber and got busy with some veal chops. While we were away our herbs flourished and we’re now more than a little over-run with tasty, green stuff. This Valentine Warner recipe was […]
