BBQ Beef Pasta Sauce
I adore a good spag bol, and make it with beef – as well as a veggie version with red lentils – very often. In fact I make a pork ragu sometimes too. So the latest twist on the classic bolognese is this BBQ beef …

Creamy Prawn Pasta
I’ve never actually cooked pasta with a sauce like it, but this creamy prawn pasta recipe is going to be a firm favourite in my household from now on. I love using frozen King prawns – they’re so succulent, salty and moreish. When I stock …

Otherwise known as boulangère potatoes, this potato bake with stock recipe really surprised me with how easy it is to make. As well as being absolutely delicious. The idea is the same as a potato gratin, but with stock not cream and milk. No pre-cooking …
Kid Friendly Pizza Dough Recipe
This wasn’t the first time I’d baked an easy homemade pizza dough, but I hadn’t yet made my own for a conventional pizza. Previously, I’d made a folded Italian calzone with homemade dough, but that takes an hour to rise. I decided to make this …
