Jamaican Smoked Herring ‘Solomon Gundy’ on Roti and Peppered Calypso Garlic Shrimp When I go out to eat at a restaurant the main things I’m looking for are great, reasonably priced food. Park’s Edge Bar and Kitchen is a restaurant that ticks the boxes. Located in Herne […]
In collaboration with Wiltshire Chilli Farm Slow Roasted Peppered Pork Belly Wiltshire Chilli Farm have added a new batch of rubs to their range: Mediterranean Herb, Smoky Pepper Steak and Black Coffee Ghost. I use the Smoky Pepper Steak Rub which complements steak exceptionally well […]
Pork and Chorizo Stew This Pork and Chorizo Stew is a twist on one of my favourite recipes on the blog, Pork and Cannellini Bean Stew, and is influenced by a recent trip to Spain. Paprika oozes from the chorizo to give the dish a deliciously […]
Best Western York House Hotel I often struggle with what presents to buy friends, family or a partner for Christmas. I’m much more likely to just ask whoever I’m buying for what they actually want. I know it takes some of the fun out of […]
Chef David Deverger* The thing I love most about doing a cooking masterclass is picking up tips and tricks that you randomly find yourself using at a later date. Tonight was one such occasion when I made a salmon dish and then crisped the skin […]
In collaboration with Wiltshire Chilli Farm Goat’s Cheese and Red Onion Tart Whilst I tend to cook a lot from scratch, I have been known to have the occasional cheat meal and not feel at all guilty about it. Puff pastry is one such cheat. […]

Asparagus, Egg and Wild Garlic Crumb I don’t know what’s going on with this weather, but I’ve created a lovely seasonal recipe with foraged wild garlic from a recent trip to Wales. You don’t have to go to Wales to find wild garlic. They tend […]
Hands up if when you were a child you used to eat corn on the cob like a typewriter cartoon-style? I did, and whilst I may not eat it like this nowadays, I still like to get stuck in with my hands and nibble on […]
Curry goat is one of my all time favourite dishes and what differentiates a Caribbean curry goat to any other, is the use of scotch bonnet peppers. This amazingly hot pepper has a great distinctive flavour, which delivers a deliciously fruity note. However, the pepper […]
I cook fresh food as often I can and I’m lucky to be able to get the majority of my ingredients from some of the fabulous markets nearby. I would usually do a modest shop, cook in bulk and eat whatever it is throughout […]
Weekends are when I spend the most amount of time cooking, but during the week I tend to fancy something quick and simple, so I can spend more time watching trash TV, socialising, reading or of course, blogging. Pasta, risottos, stir-fries and salads, among others, […]
