Butternut Squash Vegetable Stack
A great make ahead dish for a dinner party. Assemble the whole thing and leave on a baking sheet to reheat.
Sausage & Beef Italian Meatballs
When I was visiting America, a friend cooked Green Chilli with a mix of beef mince and sausage. I loved the flavour and have incorporated them into a light meatball. I serve mine with garlic and herb mash and minted…
Chorizo & Tomato Rigatoni
Tasty week night pasta dish. Don't have to follow the recipe slavishly, swap the chorizo with a basic sausage, add whatever vegetables you have if you don't like/have mushrooms.
Thai Style Crab Cakes
Incredibly quick to put together. Once cooked, they can be frozen and cooked from frozen in an oven preheat to 150C fan for 15 minutes. Serve with sweet chilli sauce or a homemade dipping sauce.
Short Rib Bourguignon
Short ribs (because I found some in the freezer) with all the flavours of a bourguignom. Cooked long and slow for 3 hours as outlined in the recipe or 1 hour in a pressure cooker (see video) in plenty of…
Spiced Chicken & Pumpkin

Sausage & Pulses in a Smokey Sauce
A dish for cooler autumn nights. The soup mix grains are available in most supermarkets and can be found in the section that sells lentils, grains and pulses. Allow time to soak them overnight.
Chicken & Sugar Snap Stir Fry
Serve with steamed rice. I use the green parts of the spring onions to stir through the steamed rice at the end of cooking.
