Not complicated I know, and how much can you say about the humble potato salad, but yes, it does need just the right potato, (an unpeeled Jersey Royal thank you), and a great dressing, not to mention walnuts, spring onions, and gerkhin…

Why does pate have to taste so good and why can’t I stop eating it? Oh that would be because it’s utterly rich, delicious and divine. Duh! This classic French dish is easier to make than you could imagine, leaving you feeling like a very clever chef. Its depth and smoothness, is enhanced by a spike of Brandy, or better yet, Cognac if you have it lying around. The classic flavors of this tried-and-true starter served with baguette toasts are sure to brighten any cocktail party, it packs well in a picnic or why not just to dip into alone late at night when you should know better…
Big Dave our creative partner is munching his way through hundreds of sprouts this Chrimbo in the name of charity. I was tasked with making one of Daves many sprout meals, each needing to include 50 sprouts to get him ingesting loads. A soup seemed like a good idea and hopefully this brussel sprout soup with caramelised onions will do the trick! With just two bowls full, he’ll have eaten 50 sprouts. Amazing! Learn more at the site
Mmmm…this saturday afteroon roast was dead easy! And it was perfect as part of a goodbye early christmas lunch for my dear friend Simone, off to South Africa for 3 months. My roast chicken is a cross between my Polish Grans garlic chicken, marinated for 24 hours, crossed with a classic roast chicken stuffed with lemons, rosemary balsamic and olive oil by Donna Hay. It takes 2 hours to roast as it was a 2 kilo chook and I threw tons of baby spuds, carrots, whole garlic cloves, sweet potato and parsnip in to boot. Delish!

Sometimes, just sometimes, a freshly grilled chicken taouk or a kofta kebab is the only thing that counts. Namely, when slighty hung over. And if such a day falls on a Saturday lunch time, you’re in luck, because just of theEdgeware Rd, or Champs Elysee of the middle east, in London you’ll find the ‘Tikka delight’ boys, grilling their fresh, perfectly spiced skewers, and char-grilling the yummiest naan like bread. I always get a small kofta with all the spicy sauces and salad pitta. I don’t know, is this really bad fast food? I think not

A simple, relaxed Sunday lunch of roast chicken and a salad with mixed sprouts. There’s no reason a Sunday meal needs to be an ordeal.
