Whole Poached Salmon with Dill and Cucumber
This is such an easy and delicious crowd pleaser. Perfect for entertaining a big group. You could easily make this with a salmon fillet, just serving with the sauce. Tasty and simple!
Italian style Octopus and Potato Stew
A delicious and hearty octopus stew, slow cooks so the octopus is lovely and tender.
Homemade Lasagne
This is a big favourite of ours, if you make it yourself you know exactly what’s in it too, so it can actually be fairly healthy. It can take a bit of time to put together so make extra as it freezes well, then you have a ready made meal for a busy day. 🙂
Matzo Ball Soup
First tasted this in Montréal many years ago. Not only is it delicious but its well known cure all powers are the reason why it is sometimes referred to as Jewish Penicillin.
Mulligatawny Chicken
Tomato, apple and a wee bit of spice, a lovely combination and a favourite with the family. It sounds a funny old mix of ingredients, but it really works!
Cottage Pie
Perfect Comfort food on a chilly evening! I get loads of veg in mine and it gets demolished with all that lovely sauce!
Fish Pie
A total classic and just great anytime. A huge family favourite, and comfort food at it’s best for me. You can alter this recipe to your own tastes too, I like the dijon mustard in it but it might not be everyone’s cup of tea!
Minestrone soup
A really easy, quick and wholesome soup, you can adapt the vegetables depending on what is in season.
