I recently asked in Facebook for everyone’s favourite weekend breakfast and the lovely Tracy Harkness told me about her favourite, which is a kind of Full English in a single pan.

Recipe – Asparagus, Lemon and Pecorino Pasta
I do look at a lot of the supermarket recipe cards they like to give away, for inspiration and maybe finding an ingredient I’ve never used before. I always like to try my own little twist on things so with thanks to Waitrose, here’s my version of a recent recipe from them. It makes a…
Recipe – Individual Open Sherry Trifles
I do love a trifle, you only have to look at my trifle showstopper here! Here’s a different twist on the traditional trifle, with an open structure which is layered so it looks like a posh strawberry tart, but has all the elements and flavours of a normal trifle. Except for custard… you can always…
Recipe – Gluten Free Yorkshire Puddings
Experimenting with gluten free versions of our favourites, I had a go at Yorkshire Puddings as they’re very popular in our house and my wife doesn’t want to miss out!

Recipe – Easy Banana and Chocolate Ice Cream (Dairy Free and Vegan)
When the weather turns hot, you can’t beat a good ice cream! The queues for the local ice cream vans can be big, so I played about with a simple recipe which apparently a lot of vegans swear by! It creates a really lovely ice cream without the need for an ice cream maker and…

Recipe – Spaghetti Bolognese
I was surprised to find I hadn’t put this on the blog as it’s such a staple in our house, and probably a lot of houses! We recently had this double the size for our whole family (eight) so it can be good for big or small meals. To feed 4, you will need: 500g…
Recipe – Homemade Garlic Bread
I admit, this is such a staple shop-bought food, you may never think of making it yourself. But shop-bought never has enough garlic flavour and aroma for me, so here’s my recipe to serve around 6 people (as an accompaniment to a main meal). You will need: A French stick / baguette (full size) 100g…
Recipe – Sylvia’s Italian Pork Steaks
It was my Nan and Dad that got me into cooking, that’s not to say my Mum wasn’t a great cook, but her kitchen prowess came in phases! She created this very simple dish for a friends children, using chicken. It was very popular and whenever she cooked for them they’d always ask for “Sylvia’s…
Recipe – London Cheesecake
A cake, with no cheese and probably nothing to do with London. It’s that square thing with the shredded coconut top, lots of bakers in the South East have them and I’ve seen them further afield. They are one of my favourites so I had a go at them myself and can vouch for how…
