Ugly Fritters, pakora are a fried Indian snack food, fragrant and flavoursome - get some ugly into your life. (which incidentally is how I proposed to my wife!) The healthy and delicious benefits of cauliflower and chickpea far outweighs the fact that these are devilishly fried and that you'll probably end up eating more than your recommended daily intake of fritter..

Perfect for when you want comfort without compromise, and rich enough to feel a little fancy. Dip some crusty bread and pretend you're in a cabin in the woods.

Potage Parmentier is named after Antoine Parmentier, the French agronomist who campaigned during the reign of Louis XVI, to have the potato declared a safe and edible vegetable. At the time, potatoes were banned in France as they were considered to be poisonous, and only suitable for hog feed. Parmentier was already familiar with the vegetable having survived on a diet of mainly potatoes while being held captive by the Prussians during the Seven Year War. However, no-one was interested in potatoes, so Parmentier tried a few tactics. He would host lavish dinners and invite Paris’s high society and distinguished men of science, such as Benjamin Franklin and Antoine Lavoisier, to dine on dishes mainly made with potatoes. ..It's not all fun and games people sometimes you just may learn a thing or two..

My recipe, direct from "Local Flavours", this SUPER popular dip has all the earthy flavours of slowly roasted beetroot and tahini with our honey and a splash of local lemon juice. Extra virgin olive oil added slowly gives a silky mouthfeel.

I've probably made a million litres of chicken broth, and it's probably better than yours. It's the base of almost everything I do, and I carry a litre on me at all times in case I run into someone making soup in my travels. "Bone broth is highly nutritious. It contains bone-strengthening minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. Bone broth is also found to contain natural glucosamine and chondroitin from animal's connective tissues, which are both essential factors to maintain healthy joints. Bone broth is also a good source of collagen, which is found to have anti-aging capacity in diminishing fine lines and promote plumpness for our skin. The marrow from the bones contain essential amino acids which can help fight inflammation to prevent chronic diseases." said someone on the internet. Get some and drink it for better gut health or store it in the freezer and use it in sauces and soups.

"Olive" another!!" - is what you'll catch(y-a-tori) me saying, as I finish another bowl of this warming winter stoup from somewhere in Europe - probably the good part. What's left of it anyway.. Marinated chicken thigh cutlet and drum, tomatoes, olives, a recipe taught to me by friend of the family, Paoloa Baccetti. Served with a side of cauliflower & leek tightly bound w a white sauce.

Trout, sometimes plucked from the waters of the Rainbow Trout Farm in Maccelsfeild with green peas and dill.

Loaded with love and with the heat of a warm summers day (not too spicy). This curry is a classic Asian staple in our family. With large chunks of fresh pineapple and pumpkin to balance the salty, sour tamarind & coconut gravy. Spinach and cashew nuts bring colour and texture.

I learned to cook a meat sauce from a ball-breaking Italian. It's fitting that Sophie has been wanting to feature a lasagne on the menu and has been breaking my balls ever since. I use better ingredients and more of them, as well as the skills I have hard-won in an unforgiving Italian kitchen.

Chef Andy is the greatest Thai chef I know. and this is the recipe I stole from him and butchered. It's a credit to his brilliance that it's still good.

This rustic comfort dish combines tender, slow-cooked ham hock with sweet baby peas and hearty macaroni pasta.

Its a classic tale of humble mash meets butter but.... plot twist!! This butter has lead a life of fear and resentment burnt by past lovers and friends.

Garlicky and roasty with a smack of brown sugar and balsamic vinegar these are an excellent side to a meaty main or an excellent main for the discerning vegetarian.
