BBQ Beef Short Rib Burgers ’n’ Slaw

Beef short ribs have to be one of my favourite cuts. These ones are packed with flavour and cooked on the bone low ’n’ slow, until they pretty much fall apart. Shredded and tossed in my barbecue sauce, I serve…

Blackberry & Almond Cake


This cake is a homage to my all time favourite summer berry. Blackberries are little jewels of goodness. Bursting with flavour, sweet yet tart and rich in colour. Paired with almonds they make a great combo. If you can’t find…

Breakfast Sausage Frittata

This really is a breakfast of champions. Packed with flavour, nice and filling, and perfect for slow sundays. The most important ingredient in this recipe is the sausages, so make sure you buy the best possible sausages as it will make…

Chicken, Leek & Tarragon Tart

Leftover roast chicken was the inspiration for this tasty tart. With the addition of some leeks, mustard, tarragon, cream, eggs and cheese it was on the table and gone in no time. I’ve made the pastry myself, but you can…

Gourmet Hock Dogs

Smoked ham hocks are a godsend as they’re cheap, delicious and wickedly versatile. I love to put them in a pot and let them bubble away for hours with aromatics until they’re flaky and tender. Here, I’ve put them to…

Italian Meatball Subs

These are the kind of meatball subs you’d imagine devouring in a classic Italian New York restaurant. They are hearty, comforting and made just like the nonnas do back in Sicily. So you’ve gotta give them a go. Now. Capiche?

Italian sausage, radicchio and pea risotto

Salty sausage, bitter radicchio, and sweet peas make this risotto a must have. You want your risotto oozy not stodgy so keep an eye on it and always stir with a wooden spoon as it’s gentle on the rice helping…

Italian Stallion

A Dutch baby is a thing of beauty, especially when it’s given some Italian flare. Think of it as a giant Yorkshire pudding that you can add whatever you like to. It’s your canvas, jazz it up and share with…

Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

Quinoa, when you’re in the know is easy to say and even easier to make. It’s pronounced KEEN-wah and is a grain that is no harder to cook than rice or pasta. I first decided to give it a crack…

Mexican Jam Jar Salad

This salad is an absolute cracker. Think of it as a Mexican fiesta in a jar. It’s packed with fresh vegetables, succulent chicken, big bold flavours and a little crunch from some spicy corn chips that will have your taste…

Salmon Gravadlax

A whole salmon Gravadlax is a great centerpiece for any table when having friends around for dinner. I’ve used fennel, beetroot and blood oranges to transform this traditional Scandinavian dish into a visual and culinary delight that tastes as good…

Slow Braised Beef Ragu

For me, nothing says ‘family meal’ more than a gorgeous pot of meaty ragu. If you whip it up a few days ahead, time will only make it tastier, and then all you have to do is cook up some…

Spaghetti with crispy bacon & rocket pesto

For a quick, delicious and tasty meal you can’t go past the combo of spaghetti, peppery rocket pesto and crispy salty bacon. This dish was born out of a need to use up the abundance of freshly grown rocket in my…

Spanish Chorizo Frittata

This really is a breakfast of champions. Packed with the flavours of Spain, nice and filling, and gluten-free. The most important ingredient in this recipe is the sausages, so make sure you buy the best possible fresh chorizo sausages as it…
