I have to admit making this one I was worried about. For such an incredibly basic and simple recipe there are depths and layers of flavour that if you mess it up, there’s no coming back. This was the kind of recipe we had in the Spring. Fresh Spring Welsh Lamb with the leftover root…
Aunty Susan’s – Supper Pie
This month I was asked to be in the YouTube collaboration “The Pies of March” #thepiesofmarch2023. A fantastic collaboration which gave me the opportunity to try a recipe I wanted to try making for years that I remember from my childhood. My Aunty Susan used to make very traditional British food. This recipe is one…
“Oggies” – Nanna Lucy’s Recipes
I remember my Nanna Lucy making these 1 time in my childhood. By the time I was old enough to remember things she did for me she was in her 80’s – 90’s and cooking was not top of her priority list. I do remember them being completely flaky and delicious and being one of…
Sausage, Beans and Cheese Bake – Lunchbox Favourites
I make Tanny’s lunch everyday for him to go to work. However he chose to buy his breakfast and since he works as hard as he does I never saw an issue with it. However once I saw how much it was costing per week I had to find a way for us to cut…
Tanny Cakes – Lunchbox Favourites
Last year Tanny asked me if I could come up with a cake that was a cross over between a Bakewell Tart and a Coconut Cup Cake both being his favourites. This is what I have come up with and aptly named them Tanny Cakes after him because it was all his idea. Before I…

Potato Bake 2 Ways – Christmas Leftovers
One of our things we always seem to have far too many of at this time of year is potatoes. Tanny and I don’t really eat them except with a roast dinner and we always get the best we can get for the money and it always seems to be 1 or 2 bags far…
Turkey and Vegetable Curry Base – Christmas Leftovers
It’s been a while since I had to think carefully about what I was doing while cooking or meal prepping for cameras so unfortunately there really aren’t any really good shots of the curry base. However there is a good chunk of video in the main video which I will link below. Anywhoooo Tanny although…
Turkey and Vegetable Soup Base – Leftovers From Christmas
Soup is one of those meals that is a comfort in the deep of winter or a great meal to have on the go any time of the year. I wanted this to be a base for an amazing soup. Something I could build on and create the kinds of soups we want at the…
Shepherd’s Pie – Leftovers From Christmas
Traditionally Shepherd’s Pie is made from Lamb; Cottage Pie from Beef and Country Pie is the Vegetarian version of this traditional meal made from leftovers from the Sunday roast dinner. It does surprise people when they learn this is not a dish traditionally made with mince raw meat but with roast meat leftovers minced (You…
