Recipes & tips for filling bottomless pits
I don’t know about you but I’ve been chilly this week, it’s like summer has been and gone. The rain has lashed down and I’ve found myself reaching for the blankets and a warming mug of hot chocolate. So in a nod to this crappy climate I slung together the ultimate warming comfort food over [...]
Regular readers will know I’m a bit partial to a puff pastry tart, especially when all it requires is reaching for some ready-made ready-rolled pastry. Lazy? Me? Too right!

First I bought you pimped up mash, now I’m unleashing tarted up sausages – and this is meant to be a family show! I cook sausages once a week for my boys, they really REALLY love them. They’re not the healthiest of foods, and are processed, but they’re irresistible. And after a long day when [...]
