Paella is one of those things that seems to differ depending on who you talk to and where you go, I’ve never been a fan of the ones crammed full of fish and tomatoes, I tend to prefer the meaty ones, especially the one I once had with rabbit in. This is a super simple, [...]
I know you are all probably sick of Ham and Gammon after the festive period but now is a great time to buy a nice big ham as they are on offer just about everywhere. This is pretty much a Jamie Oliver recipe out of a little booklet that my future mother in law gave [...]
Pork shoulder has to be one of the best cuts of meat available, It’s cheap, packed full of flavour and can be cooked is lots of different ways, as a result I’m a huge fan, whether it’s hog roast, BBQ pulled pork (like in Hickorys) or Slow roast spicy pork for Sunday roast it’s always [...]
If you don’t live in Teesside and haven’t been there, you probably haven’t heard of the the Parmo, if not you can readmore about it here. Basically it’s a heart attack waiting to happen, cheese, fried chicken and bechamel sauce, which can then be topped with all sorts of delicious treats such as mushrooms, chilli [...]

This was the final course in our Mexican Feast, it was probably one of my favourites, I served it with loads of homemade home grown tomato spicy salsa and cooling guacamole.

A couple of days ago I recieved a press release along with this delicious sounding recipe that I thought some of you might like, obviously I’d spice things up a bit with a little bit of chilli and by using a hot and spicy chorizo. There’s also a chance for the budding cooks reading this [...]
Next up on our Mexican Feast is Mushroom Tostadas, yet another dish inspired by my visit to Wahaca last week, The recipe is a version of the Spring Tacos with mushrooms from Thomasina Miers Mexican Food Made Simple Book. I used the basic recipe for the mushroom tacos and turned it into Tostadas as I [...]
The first course in our Mexican Feast was one of my favourites, It’s best done on the BBQ but works just as well on the griddle pan or under the grill. How long you cook the sweetcorn for will depend on the size of your sweetcorn and how hot your pan is. There is a [...]
Inspired by last week’s trip to Wahaca in Covent Garden I decided to cook up Mexican feast using my Mexican Food Made Simple Book. I will post the recipes up over the next couple of days but I’m staring with this one in which I tried to re create the drink I had at Wahaca. While It doesn’t [...]
