Something slow to make this weekend
|
Hello Reader, My cookbook manuscript is due in two weeks and this week, I have been working on the chapter, A good bottle of wine & a little bit of time. It's where all of my slow cooked dishes live. While this chapter will feature many new recipes that I have never shared before, there will be a few reader favourites. One of those being my osso buco with saffron risotto and gremolata. As I write about the creamy bone marrow that hides in the bone, the rich sauce and tender meat that has been slow cooked for 4 hours, I can't stop thinking about this dish and how much I want to make it again. To make it that little bit more special, I serve it with a buttery saffron risotto and lemony gremolata. If you have some time on your hands this weekend, I suggest you make this recipe! It's pure comfort.

Hello Reader, There are very few things in life that can't be improved with a little of my homemade garlic butter. And when I say a little, I obviously mean a lot! These garlic butter steak bites are one of those recipes that feel incredibly indulgent but take almost no time or effort to make. We're talking beautifully golden, caramelised pieces of steak tossed through a rich garlic butter sauce with sweet red onion, a splash of Worcestershire sauce and plenty of fresh parsley. And the best...
Hi Reader, There are some evenings when the last thing I feel like doing is spending an hour in the kitchen. And while I absolutely love cooking, I also love a recipe that requires very little time or effort but still delivers on flavour. I've noticed just how much you all love my quick and easy dinners, so I thought I'd do something a little different this week and share five of my favourites in one email. These are the recipes I turn to when time is not on my side, but I still want...
Hello Reader, I think we can all agree that the best kind of dinner is one that requires very little washing up afterwards. And if it involves pasta, cream, lots of parmesan cheese and juicy chicken breast, even better! My latest recipe is this One Pan Creamy Chicken Alfredo, and I have a feeling it's going to become a regular in your dinner rotation. It's not your traditional Alfredo. The chicken is generously coated in spices and seared until beautifully golden, while the pasta cooks...
