  I love this recipe for a few reasons. It's really tasty, it's cheap and it's easy. What more could you want? You can use pretty cheap cuts of beef such as stewing steak, and the aim is to slow cook it until it's tender and falls apart (simple huh?). You will need to brown […]

This recipe came about when reading the FAB cook book Jamie Oliver's Ministry Of Food. There's a great recipe in there for a spinach and ricotta filo pie. One day I was really craving it but didn't have all the ingredients so ended up using the reliable combination of chicken and leek. It bares very […]

It’s winter; that time of year where I have an excuse to crave spiced rum in pretty much everything! It’s also that time of year where everyone seems to be sniffing and snivelling.
