Smoked Haddock/Coley with a Mustard and Onion Cream
Smoked haddock brings back many happy childhood memories. I remember mum cooking it for us when I was a kid, she poached it in milk laced with sliced onions and chopped parsley both fresh from the garden. She would make a sauce from the milk when the fish was cooked then serve these with a […]
Hot Whiskey Smoked BBQ Salmon
Most people don’t bbq fish choosing instead to go with bbq meat packs from the supermarket or butcher or even using frozen burgers and sausages. To me this is a real shame because a bbq can be used to cook so much more and better food that doesn’t really cost much more and sometimes even […]
Coconut, Ginger & Chilli Soup with Grilled Chicken & Prawn
It is hard to believe that a soup like the one here can be made in a matter of minutes with zero cooking skills or experience required. This is definately the case here. All you need is a food processor or if you want to you can even use a store bought curry paste like […]
Fish fingers
Fish fingers are one of the things that kids go crazy for – they are a dead cert winner evey time. Whether it’s with mash or chips, beans or peas (ketchup is obligatory), if I’m serving them up, I know there will be clean plates left. Making your own is easy. You know exactly what’s […]
Nasi Goreng
This really popular dish is well worth making. The flavours are fantastic and it is fairly easy to make. It is cheap if you leave the prawns out and use all chicken instead. It makes a great family dinner especially midweek when the pennies can be tight. It will also impress friends and family if […]
Prawn Toast
Prawn toast is one of those things I love but wouldn’t eat from most Chinese restaurants. Once you try my homemade ones, you will see exactly why and feel the very same yourself. There really is no comparison between homemade and the ones from a Chinese which are either bought in frozen then deep fried […]
Singapore Noodles
I made this dish for some staff at work once and my sous (second) chef hounded me for the recipe ever since. We met a while back, not long after we published my first book, the first thing he asked me was if the recipe for my Singapore noodles was in the book. He was disappointed to […]
Smoked Salmon & Spinach Omelette
Omelettes are a great source of protein and a really quick and cheap meal. You can fill them with your favourite ingredients or just use what is to hand when you are making one. Smoked salmon and spinach are a delicious combination though the smoked salmon will put the price up a bit. I think it […]
Mussel, Smoked Bacon and Potato Chowder
Mussels are one of my favourite things to cook. As far as seafood goes, they’re so reasonably priced and they’re ready in literally minutes. Irish mussels are juicy and plump and are so fresh and delicious you can simply steam them and let the favour speak for itself. Or if you’re looking to create a truly impressive, restaurant […]
Prawn Cocktail
Prawn cocktail is another classic salad that is really easy to throw together. It’s one you don’t see so often anymore which is such a shame as when made properly it is a great salad or starter. You can use the really small prawns which are called Boston prawns or a bigger prawn like a […]
