10 Bloggers’ Favourite Recipes
I recently thought it would be really interesting to find out from a few bloggers what they cooked most from their own blogs. This was a very tough question indeed! Of course we have many favourites but the recipes we tend to make the most are the quick and easy ones where you barely need…
Slow Cooked Beef & Vegetable Casserole
A delicious and nutritious slow cooked Beef & Vegetable Casserole made with spelt grains, butternut squash, swede and leek – comfort food at its best! I don’t know about you but I really couldn’t live without a bottle of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce in my cupboard as it seems to have so many culinary…
Chilli Pancake Stack
Chilli Pancake Stack is a delicious baked stack of coriander (cilantro) flavoured pancakes layered with beef chilli and a layer of melted cheese and jalapenos.

Simply Delicious Spaghetti Bolognese

This recipe is adapted from my 1993 edition of Simply Delicious (Colour Library Books). It is the best Spaghetti Bolognese recipe I have ever tasted as it has a subtle sweetness from both the carrots and…
Minced Beef and Onions
Minced Beef and Onions is traditional British comfort food, simple and delicious! With the unseasonably warm weather coming to an abrupt end this week my husband requested this comforting dish which his mother used to make. In her version she would serve it in a ring of cooked marrow with potatoes and vegetables. This is…
