Recipes
Cooking is about sharing, its about inspiring - I am always willing to share my recipes and all of them are fair game!
Recipes should be a guide, they should be there for you to absorb and make your own. Be present, think about what you are doing and more importantly why you’re doing it - this is how you learn to cook, rather than learn just how to follow recipes (believe me, there is a huge difference). You’ll be devising your own recipes and creating masterpieces from fridge leftovers in now time! Tweak, change, adjust - don’t be afraid to try, don’t be afraid to make mistakes! Take notes, learn! Cook to your own palates and your own likes/dislikes! That is what recipes are there for!

A wonderfully simple orange upside down carrot cake! Forging the worlds of orange upside down cakes and carrot cakes together! This was made gluten free and lactose free and you would have been none the wiser for it! A cake you have to try!
Fermented Tomato or Pickle Juice Dirty Martini
Dirty Martini’s are the way forward. This recipe is one of the very best! I like to make them ‘bone dry’ with no vermouth. I love to use fermented tomatoes, celery or cucumber to give them some proper salty va-va-voom!
Roast Beef, Late Summer Salad & Buttermilk Dressing - As Served At The Slow Food Feast, Ludlow Food Festival 2025
Beautful pasture raised, organic roast beef, a late summer salad made up from locally grown over ripe tomatoes, fennel, runner beans and the most vibrant, rich buttermilk dressing. This is a recipe straight from my heart! Served at room temperature it’s got a beautiful comfort to it and doesn’t compromise on flavour one bit.

Latke is a Jewish type of hash brown, somewhere between a hash brown and a potato pancake or fritter! I use some caramelised onions to add some sweetness! These make the most amazing breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack! So versatile!

A wonderful way to use up marrow! At that time of year where you struggle to keep motivation in eating a whole marrow, make this ragu, batch it up, store it in your freezer. I served it as a dip with some bread, butter and pickles but it also makes the most wonderful sauce for a main course dish.
