Recipes & tips for filling bottomless pits
I wanted to share some of the recipes and photographs from the latest photoshoot I styled for The Good Food Channel website. Summer may not seem like the ideal time for pasta bakes, but these recipes have a touch of blue skies about them and are super easy to knock up for children in need [...]
I want to build up a selection of videos showing you first-hand how to make some of my favourite family recipes. I started with home-made pizza, and this week it’s time for the trusty puff pastry tart to make an appearance. It really could not be any easier to put together… and here is the [...]
I came across Burrata cheese for the first time at a cookery masterclass run by Finish dishwasher tablets with chef Florence Knight. The Leiths-trained head chef at Soho restaurant Polpetto might have been beautiful and tiny, but she was a steely sort so there was no messing around and any corner cutting like using a [...]
I put pizza on the table every week for the boys. It’s one of THOSE foods, you know, the cherished ones that they’ll eat no matter what and takes 10 minutes to cook. For too long though, have I been putting up with the crappy supermarket versions because I’m too befuddled to think about faffing [...]

I had a look in the cupboard and came out with a tin of coconut milk, mild curry [...]
I was meant to be meeting some friends out for dinner and drinks but failed to get a babysitter lined up. Thankfully my pals love me enough to shlep it over from South London to the Wild West and we agreed to all contribute something shop bought for a simple meal where the emphasis would [...]
Simple summer salads are such a joy, they’re easy to put together and a great way to use up leftovers. I particularly love American-style chopped salads, or Cobb salads as they’re also known. Their heritage is in Hollywood – first created by Robert Cobb of the former Los Angeles landmark Brown Derby restaurant for hungry [...]
This is just a very simple marinade I used for a chicken stir fry the other night, I had some spare oranges to use up, some maple syrup rattling around in the fridge and I always have soy sauce in my storecupboard. And that’s all you need. I’m more than a little partial to those [...]
I made something so simple but so tasty I had to share it with you. I think fish is best cooked without fuss, and this glaze sticks to that rule with just two ingredients – maple syrup and soy sauce. Classic salty and sweet. Teaming it up with oven chips and peas and sweetcorn may [...]
