Braised lamb casserole
I’ve made so many casseroles in my lifetime but this new recipe is probably my favourite. Inexpensive cuts of meat are perfect for this type of cooking. Plus the meat ends up meltingly tender.

Fabulous lunch at Hipping Hall
Hipping Hall have been a customer of mine since it reopened. I have been many times on business, trying not to dribble when intoxicated with the delicious smells wafting out of the kitchen. I felt bad it has taken me so long to come and visit not on work but for pleasure!
Chicken with Mushrooms

Spicy jerk pork and sweet potato casserole
I put this in the slow cooker and was delicious. The recipe said 1/2 a jar of the spicy jerk paste but I would use the whole jar if you like it spicy!
Completing number 11 off my 40 at 40 list – Lunch at Le Gavroche
This one needed some organising as there was a 2 month waiting list to book lunch at Le Gavroche. My brother in law is a real foodie so he and his wife came with us.
End of holiday treat at The Punchbowl
Back from a lovely week in Lanzarote and as arrived back in the early hours of Monday morning had the day off. We had definitely bought the sunshine back with us. As all the holiday washing was done and drying nicely decided to go out for a nice lunch.
