It uses a simple selection of ingredients but it’s truly delicious!

I typically go for 12% for this recipe; just so you get some nice fatty flavour, but without it being too greasy. I would say this is a nod to a bolognese, but in no way am I even trying to replicate or do a twist on it. I’m already o ..read more

Here I’ll show you how to make one of my all-time favourite sandwiches! This is such a simple sandwich, but I’ve got some tips and tricks for turning it into an instant favourite (and a favourite for life!). Follow me… Cheese-Crusted Bread The only way bread can be improved is with a cheese crust, right? ?. This is such a simple trick it’s almost rude not to do it. You’re essentially just melting Cheddar cheese in a pan and placing the bread on top. As the cheese melts and crisps up, it attaches itself to the bread. So long as your pan is non-stick and it’s over medium heat, it will attach, s ..read more

Deliciously spiced lamb topped with feta-infused sweet potato mash – this is comfort food through and through! I’m not a huge fan of fusion recipes for the sake of it, but this recipe truly makes so much sense. Follow me… Spiced Shepherd’s Pie Filling The filling is relatively similar to a Traditional Shepherd’s Pie filling, just without the herbs and with a lot more spices. The spices offer a Middle Eastern twang that really levels up the pie. Thickening the filling One key aspect of shepherd’s pie is making the sure filling is thick. The tomato paste will do this slightly, but we’re also go ..read more

I’m certain it’s going to make your regular midweek rotations! Follow me… Oven Caramlised Onions Slow-roasting onions is an easy way to caramelise them. It’s a fairly hands-off method in comparison to caramelising them in a pan, meaning you don’t need to watch over them and constantly stir them. How to caramelise onions in the oven Whilst you can caramelise onions without any extra ammo, I love adding in some ..read more

After we filmed the video, I challenged myself to master the mighty smash burger, and I’m happy to report I’m ready to share it with the world. Follow me… Preparing Smash Burgers The beauty of smash burgers is the prep of the burger itself ..read more
