Jul 14 Parmesan Corn

Parmesan Corn. This recipe has a little bit of crunch, a little bit of spice and a creamy yet sticky parmesan coating, so i think i need to keep making it until sweetcorn is out of season.

Jul 6 Millionaires Chocolate Pots with Toasted Hazelnuts

Lee Majhen-Todd

Millionaires Chocolate Pots with Toasted Hazelnuts. Chocolate, caramel and toasted hazelnuts, a difficult combination for me to just walk passed and these little pots are so good i can never eat just one, so i have been known to hide an extra one (or two) ready to sneak off to eat them alone, in a quiet room whilst watching something on a box set.

Jun 28 Crispy Chive Picnic Patties with Camembert Filling

Lee Majhen-Todd

Crispy Chive Picnic Patties with Camembert Filling. Picnic season is here again, if the nice weather holds out, and that means I get to think about food for the outside. BBQs or picnics, I’m not too particular about the occasion but thinking about the food is what it’s all about for me. Who doesn’t love a sensational home-made burger full of fresh herbs and juicy from the barbie?

Jun 14 Sun Blushed Tomato Tapenade & Walnut & Olive Pesto?

Lee Majhen-Todd

Sun Blushed Tomato Tapenade & Walnut & Olive Pesto? Got to love a few side dishes when it’s eating outside time, right? I’m a sucker for homemade versions of a tapenade and pesto especially now I’m into growing my own herbs. The great thing about being able to throw one of these together is simply that, they’re easy to throw together and go with so many things.

Jun 9 Hazelnut & Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb with White Bean Cassoulet

Lee Majhen-Todd

Hazelnut & Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb with White Bean Cassoulet. I love lamb almost as much as i love chicken yet for some reason i eat far less of it. I suspect its because it’s a red meat and i’m trying to keep the lovely Mr G healthy, or it may just be that it’s not as cheap as chicken is.

Lee Majhen-Todd

Spiced Monkfish with Charred Courgette, Pickled Red Onion & Cumin Flatbread. Like fish or love fish, this is the recipe for you . Just the right amount of spice. Spice for flavour not for heat the way it should be. Eat the monkfish with the charred and blackened courgette with a hit of the sharp, acidic ,pickled red onion to counteract it all. Then wipe it all up with the fabulous cumin flatbread. Don’t waste a drop of that sauce. Once tried you’ll be adding it to your family recipe book.

May 17 Raspberry Cream & Pistachio Profiteroles - Choux Pastry Made Easy

Lee Majhen-Todd

Raspberry & Pistachio Profiteroles.

Love them or hate them, they do have an incredibly bad reputation for being difficult to make, and they shouldn’t.

This choux pastry is one of the easiest pastries to make, very versatile and uses just a few ingredients, so I’d say that their reputation is more daunting than difficult.
