Happy Monday one and all. It’s was lovely to get a covering of snow yesterday to rally the general mood. Snow always brings the kid out in me so I was happy to get out there, walk Jasper and throw a few snowballs around. This is my Lemon Scented Pork Meatballs with Fennel and White Wine taken from the pot bake chapter in my new book. This recipe is probably the one that gave me the most challenges during development which @inga.mink and @asausagehastwo know only too well! How many breadcrumbs to add, what meat to use, how long to roast the veg before the meatballs go on top, how long to roast the balls for, when’s best to add the wine?... etc etc.... it was rather a lengthy process! But I got there in the end. If you’d like the recipe, you can preorder Foolproof One-Pot by following the link in my profile.

This is my Ban Chang Kuih With Toasted Peanuts and Chocolate taken from the desserts chapter of Foolproof One-Pot. If you like pancakes, then you’ll love this. And yep, there is a desserts chapter! To be fair though, this recipe is also great for breakfast. 🤔 I discovered this delicious pancake 🥞 on a food tour of George Town in Penang. What a treat, even in the fierce heat of the day, to be taken to this famous food vendor, selling the most sublime thick fluffy pancakes filled with butter, peanuts and sugar. The food in Penang completely blew me away and this is my version of this famous pancake with help from @elliecyl in Penang. @elliecyl was the most amazing tour guide and treated me to a private tour of nyonya cooking in and around George Town, taking time to places that not everyone gets to see. When we are allowed, if you go to Penang, you must look her up. You can preorder the book to get the full recipe by following the link in my profile!

Beetroot and Pecorino risotto with dill Sometimes there’s a little too much going on in the kitchen to stand over a risotto pan, stirring every minute or two. So, from time to time, there’s no harm in letting the oven take over. This oven baked risotto is taken from the Absorption chapter in Foolproof One-Pot. Here you’ll find recipes for fragrant pilafs, risottos and stews where water or steam transform the contents of your pot into a treasure chest of delights. Perfect fuss free food for the whole family! You can preorder by following the link in my profile!

𝗪𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐆𝐫𝐮𝐲è𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞. This one pot pasta dish is my latest recipe for @cropdroporganicveg. It’s basically a recipe for #pizzoccheri alla Valentina minus the pizzoccheri, the short buckwheat ribbon pasta from Lombardy in the north of Italy that’s a bit tricky to find in the UK so I’ve used wholewheat fusilli instead. I’ve also used Gruyère in place of the traditional Valtellina Casera which is also tricky to find. It used to strike me as quite strange to pair potatoes with pasta but it really works; the silky soft potato somehow complements its starchy cousin. And let’s face it, what’s not to love about pasta and potatoes enveloped in lots of cheese!? Eat this #comforting dish after a cold winter’s walk if you don’t happen to have any snow capped mountains nearby. It happens also to only take a jiffy to make so you’ll be filling your empty bellies in no time. Serves 2 200g dried wholewheat fusilli pasta 100g peeled potato, cut into 1cm dice 125g savoy, cabbage, tough core removed and cut into 1cm strips 40g butter 1 garlic clove, finely grated 60g Gruyère or Emmental, grated 25 g Parmesan, grated 4 sage leaves, finely sliced Black pepper Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add your dried pasta and cook according to the instructions on the packet. 5 minutes before ready, throw in the potato and cabbage. Bring back to the boil and cook for 5 minutes, until the pasta is al dente and the potatoes cooked. Drain the pasta and vegetables in a colander, reserving some of the cooking water. Allow the pan used to cook the pasta to dry. Then add the butter. Melt over a medium heat and add the garlic and sage. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic has lost its rawness. Throw back in the pasta, #cabbage and potato and gently toss. Sprinkle the cheeses over the top along with a good grind of black pepper. Toss together gently, adding around 50ml of pasta cooking water for moisture. Serve topped with more black pepper. #pasta #pastarecipe #vegetarianrecipe #cheeserecipe #onepot #lockdown #instafood #comfortfood 
Here’s my Korean style roast salmon with sweet and spicy potatoes and tenderstem broccoli. This is a recipe from the Pot Bakes chapter in my new book, Foolproof One Pot. It’s a great example of when only a handful of ingredients create a real flavour bomb with utmost simplicity. Perfect for an easy #monday night dinner. Of course gochujang adds its spicy hallmark to the dish. With a sweetness from honey and more umami kick from soy, there’s a delicious sauce in the making... just needs some salmon and a couple of other bits and bobs on top.

Here’s my Spiced Duck Pot Roast With Red Cabbage and Grapes, one of the recipes from the ‘Throw it together’ chapter in my new book, Foolproof One Pot. This chapter, as the name suggests, is full of recipes that simply need a little assemblage before the oven or hob does its thing. Perfect if you’re short on time for prep! Here, duck legs are cooked atop a classic braised red cabbage; acidity and sweetness perfectly balancing the rich crispy golden duck on top. It’s a great one for the weekend, extremely comforting and a real crowd pleaser.

Dinner last night took the form of a birthday zoom meal with my mum and sister. Covid compliance meant I needed to half prep the meal, deliver it round and then eat in our respective homes.... Starter was caramelised chicory with Roquefort, candied pecans (a bit of fennel seed in them), blood orange and castelfranco, a beautiful leaf both in flavour and appearance. Everything was dressed with a blood orange and grape molasses vinaigrette type number. Mum requested a fish pie for a main which I was pleased with. Some home salted capers I was gifted, a little mustard, nutmeg and cheddar made their marks on a lovely rich béchamel. Peas also went in. What’s your view. Peas or no peas in a fish pie? Or do you use alternative greenery in there like spinach or kale? #fishpie #salad #birthdayfood #food #instafood #bloodorange #roquefort #onmyplate #pie #comfortfood #seasonalfood #lettuce #foodpics #instafood #foodstagram #dinner
