Slow Cooked Pulled Lamb with White Wine & Root Vegetables

Sumptuous Turkey Pie
Sumptuous Turkey Pie is the perfect pie for using up your leftover Christmas turkey, bacon and cream. With added leeks and mushrooms this puff pastry pie is off the scale good so hence the name! I was in a quandary as to what to call this pie as Turkey, Bacon, Leek and Mushroom Pie was…

Warm Chicken, Bacon and Tarragon Salad with an olive oil and lemon dressing that tastes sublime! My mum seems to be a never ending resource of recipes and one will just pop into my head from time to time and a quick phone call later I have the bones of one of her old dishes…
