Pork Chops
Pork chops stuffed with garlic, bay and rosemary. Served with garlic mushrooms, braised lemony leeks and roasted butternut. Very simple but very tasty.

Spring is one of my favourite times of year. Since becoming more interested in food, we’ve been eating seasonally and locally. We make a real effort to only eat British and, as far as possible, to buy local produce. This can be limiting; winter is tough as the choice of produce is much less but […]
Read More..>>Jersey Royals
Tonight, we used up the leftover pork that we roasted yesterday. We had some leftover cauliflower cheese and salad that Stephen made a brilliant honey and mustard dressing to go with (honey, Dijon, olive oil, cider vinegar and salt) and the first Jersey Royals of the season. I’m not a huge fan of new potatoes […]

We bought a deboned leg of free range pork from our butcher yesterday, planning to have it for lunch today. Today we rubbed the skin with salt and roasted it high, then lower. Two and a half hours later, it was done and it was really good. Served with sage and onion stuff made by […]

Yesterday, we bought a pheasant at our local butcher with the intention of cooking it today. After considering a few pheasant-related recipes, we decided to make something up and do a “pheasant au vin”. I’m glad that we did because it was really, really good. Joined the pheasant, then marinated it in some red wine […]

This morning, we were hungry and there the cupboards were bare so Stephen made an emergency dash to the deli and came back with a bagful of goodies. He had a fried egg, some black pudding, some sweet-cured bacon, two pork sausages, some fried vine tomatoes and some French bread. It was all very tasty […]

We had some chicken thighs that needed using up so last night, while we were cooking dinner, Stephen make a quick casserole. I heated this up tonight and served it with some vegetables that also needed using up. I made some cauliflower cheese and some roasted butternut. I didn’t think they were going to go […]

Tonight we decided to try stuffing a pork loin. Kerri made a sage, onion and bacon stuffing which we stuffed into the opened and flattened pork loin. We rolled it and Kerri tied it up with little bows. Served with roast potatoes, parsnips and peas. We’d planned to have butternut squash with it too but […]
Read More..>>Rabbit with Garlic
Today, we cooked rabbit. It’s been on our “Things To Cook Soon” list for a while and yesterday, we found some in Selfridges Food Hall. The recipe was from Fergus Henderson’s “Nose To Tail Eating”, a book we’ve had for a while but not cooked from. It was quite a simple recipe, brown the rabbit […]

Tonight, we had planned to make beef stroganoff but when we came to cook it we found the beef wasn’t in good shape. So, we made a quick dash to the deli to find something else. Our choices were fairly limited so we resorted to sausages. And boy am I glad we did. They were […]
