When the wild garlic and English asparagus seasons coincide, then one can think of numerous ways of enjoying this seasonal and foraged produce. When I have lots of foraged wild garlic in hand, I often stir-fry it in butter and serve as a side dish with pretty much any meal. Same goes for in-season asparagus. […]

Wild Garlic Lasagne
This is a twist on a classic veggie lasagne that makes full use of nature’s bounty, fresh from the countryside. Sourcing food sustainably as best I can, is a big part of my cooking ethos and what better way of doing that than foraging for it in the local woods? So when we were out […]
Beetroot Risotto
Love is in the air this weekend… or is it in the risotto pot? Well this risotto is perfect throughout the winter months when the nights are dark and frosty but it makes a stunning and thoroughly comforting Valentine’s meal for two.

It takes a bit of patience to let the dough rise; our mini chef loves nothing better than getting hands-on with the pizza dough. And getting the whole family involved, […]
Scallop Risotto With Veggies

You […]
Spaghetti With Asparagus
A quick and easy lunch with in-season English asparagus. This is my go-to recipe in Spring when you can pick your own British Asparagus from your local farm. You can completely skip the parmesan or have a vegan cheese on top to keep it vegan. Scatter Basil leaves on top and you’ll love it even more.
