Corned beef breakfast hash

January 27, 2016 by date with a plate.

In Part Two of my collaboration with Harvey Beef (don’t worry, you can catch up on Part One if you missed it) I used one of the more challenging cuts of meats from the marinated range, Oak Barrel Corned Silverside. The silverside comes from the outside of the rear leg and sits between the knuckle and the topside. As it is a muscle heavily used for walking, silverside requires the slow moist cooking of corning to produce a tender and […]

Celeriac soup with crispy pancetta croutons

July 15, 2015 by date with a plate.

Knobbly and a little weird, this misunderstood root vegetable is often over-looked by the everyday grocery shopper. Generally speaking, I don’t think people know how to use this vegetable, let alone what it tastes like. Celeriac tastes like a cross between celery and parsley. It can be mashed, used in soups, thinly sliced and added to a salad or even roasted. My boyfriend asked me to make this specific soup for him – he had seen it on River Cottage […]

Perfect roast potatoes

May 25, 2015 by date with a plate.

Generally speaking, roasting vegetables is easy and you don’t really need a recipe to do it. Heat oven, roast vegetables, remove vegetables from oven before they burn. But what about potatoes? Well, in my opinion, they need a little bit of extra love to ensure they become the star vegetable of your next roast. Generally speaking, potatoes are often the subject of unfair criticism. People believe they are ‘bad’ carbs and directly result in weight gain. Or rather, people are […]

Asparagus with perfect hash browns, soft boiled egg and hollandaise

March 31, 2015 by date with a plate.

When I have the time to leisurely put together breakfast on a Saturday morning, I jump at the opportunity. It’s like therapy (but less-expensive) after a stressful week at work. This recipe is pretty easy, just requires a lot of butter and time for a strategic post-feast nap. This is a touch on the indulgent side, but really, what’s wrong with a little (really a lot) of butter every now and again? Am I right?! I doubt anyone would complain […]

Gnocchi with braised beef sauce

August 20, 2014 by date with a plate.

Just a short post today, it has been a rough couple of weeks battling the ever complicated onslaught of flu, work, personal life and trip planning – my upcoming trip to the United States is possibly the only thing keeping me sane at the moment. Counting down the days until we jet off for a month long adventure keeps me working hard through everything that’s been thrown at me lately. Sick at home, bored out of my mind (yes, there’s […]

Gnocchi with pancetta, tomato & basil sauce

June 16, 2014 by date with a plate.

Lazily wandering through our local grocer yesterday, the boy asked me if I could make gnocchi for dinner – considering he bought me a potato ricer months ago and I haven’t used it yet, I figured it was a decent request. Two potatoes, a small block of pancetta and a handful of basil later we were pretty much set for dinner. Gnocchi is deceptively easy to make and requires few ingredients – perfect. I think the key to a good […]

Beef Stew – oh so comforting, oh so easy

October 1, 2013 by date with a plate.

I love using cheap cuts of meat for cooking – too many people go straight for the fancy steaks or the racks of lamb, but take a minute to choose a cheaper cut and spend that extra bit of time cooking and you will be rewarded. Beef stew is the perfect way to enjoy such a cheap cut of meat, use a gravy beef or casserole cut to achieve the best results. Such a comforting and easy dish, a good […]

Slow Roasted Chicken

August 12, 2013 by date with a plate.

Name one person who doesn’t love a Sunday Roast? Yep – like I thought – no one. Everyone loves a Sunday Roast, no matter what your meat of choice, a traditional roast is a real treat. My Slow Roasted Chicken is no exception, cared for by my low temperature oven for more than two hours, this chook is sure to please. I usually cook beef or pork when I do a roast, but after a trip to my local specialty […]

Pierogi with potato, cheese and dill

June 20, 2013 by date with a plate.

My boyfriend comes from a Polish background and as such, has an overwhelming love for potatoes, dill pickles and cold cut meats. Year after year his grandma dutifully made Pierogi for the family on special occasions, but we felt it was time to try the famed recipe out for ourselves to see if we could produce something as special as hers. Whilst our dough came out a little thicker than hers (I’ll put that down to lack of experience) the […]
