Welcome to my recipes
There are getting on for 1000 in this collection. They’re all simple, seasonal and very achievable, whether you’re cooking something quick and light or settling in for something slow and comforting. The recipes here reflect the way I cook at home and the way I like to eat; they are very much shaped by the seasons and by the ingredients themselves.
To help you find your way around my recipes, use the search bar below, it allows you to explore the recipes in whatever way suits you. You can choose a season, select a course, or search by recipe type. With so many here, it's a good way to make browsing easier and more intuitive. Many of the following recipes are accompanied by video, so you can cook along or just get a sense of the dish before you begin.
Chocolate, fudge & smoked salt cookies
The pinch of smoked salt adds wisps of warmth to the bitter chocolate and sweet fudge, and gives the cookies an almost campfire quality
Fudge, raisin & hazelnut brittle parfait
This pudding is for those with a sweet tooth. It’s basically frozen meringue, embellished with double cream and laced with raisins, fudge and praline
Treacle tart with thyme & orange
Now... stories can change with time, but I was told that when a fleet of German bombers flew over the fort, Digby and his men were in a local tea room, eating treacle tart
Taramasalata, crackling & kale
I stand by the kitchen table. You look at me and say: I’ve been hungry all my life. I try to name it, make it a thing, but my words thicken
Grilled oysters with salsify & ham
There’s so much more to the beautiful oyster than a brief sensual swallow. A cooked oyster, whether it’s crisply fried, gently poached or cooked slowly in a pie, can be just as exciting
Roast purple sprouting broccoli with anchovy, cream, chilli & parmesan
This dish combines a handful of big flavours that all complement the broccoli beautifully. Everyone who’s tasted this dish has gone back for more
Roast bream with artichokes, onions, smoked bacon & thyme
Last night I cooked this dish using black bream. It was probably one of the most delicious ‘all-in-one’ recipes I’ve made for years
Whole beef shin with red wine, carrots & little onions
This recipe is gentle and warming and perfect for those slower, darker nights at home
Roast turbot & chicken wings
For me, it made complete sense to pair up these two wonderful ingredients. It is simply a case of equality.
Slow-roast goat with honey, saffron, prunes & preserved lemon
If you like the depth of flavour in lamb and mutton, then goat will definitely be your jam
My favourite pizza
There is usually a time and a place for good pizza. But, I’d take this one, happily, any day of the week
