Laab Moo – Pork Salad
I love this. I mean really love it. It’s one of those things that has you going “Mmm” a lot until you can eat some more. If you like Thai food, you’ll know that the blend of sour, sweet, salty, bitter...

Oat & Almond Crumble Cookies
I try to create my own recipes when I can, although I don’t sit there with a pen and paper and dream them up out of nowhere. They evolve out of trial and error, hunger and craving. Here is how even a...

Caramel Apple Tarts
Usual sketch: These were supposed to be something different. The plan was for them to be apple and ginger, as Ed had suggested that this time I crumble up ginger nut biscuits between the pastry...

Corn Tortillas
Sometimes our evenings are rounded off with half an hour of food based tv. I don’t know why we do it, because then we start craving things we can’t have. We ponder if we have the wherewithal to create...

Gypsy Gammon
Am I allowed to call this Gypsy Gammon? Too late. Just did. This could just as easily be called Gypsy Bacon, with the differences between a bacon joint and gammon joint being difficult to discern. It...

Funnel Cakes
“We’ll just go on Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster, then we’ll get a funnel cake” That funnel cake was never to be. Though the sun was scorching as we sauntered across Disney Studios, an hour later the rain...

Just Salad
I only ate one slice of the pizza that this salad was supposed to ‘go with’. It came about because George requested caesar salad, but we had no bread to make croutons…so Ed improvised with small cubes...

Steak and Chips
This is steak and chips, our way. It starts with beef fillet and a bunch of herbs from the garden… Then the chips. Well, they’re not chips at all really. They start off as baked potatoes that get...

The Aga Tarts
You know how this works by now: I tell you a meandering tale by way of recipe foreplay then insert a money shot to keep your interest. Today though…because my final images are being saved for the...

Overnight Oatcakes
I have been eating oatcakes all my life. It’s only recently that I started to make my own. These aren’t Scottish oatcakes, which are more of a biscuit to eat with cheese. These are Derbyshire oatcakes...

Courgette Chips and Mayonnaise
I am never sad about a glut of courgettes. In our climate there are so few things that grow abundantly and even when they do it is only for a few weeks of the year. We eat courgette soup once or...

Blackberry Jam and a Breakfast Cake
Look at the pretty fruit we foraged! Okay… we may have foraged the figs from a shop but we did pick the blackberries. I would have liked a non recipe based post to balance out all the foody shizzle of...

Pork Rillettes
I feel like I spend an increasingly large portion of my life rendering pork fat. On a daily basis I’m either slowly frying bacon, to make sure there are no visible white bits (George would have got on...

Brioche Balls
It’s been a busy, fun and food-filled few weeks. From recipe testing and a photo shoot at a Lords house, to photographing actors, bakeware and some raucous production photography. It was nice to round...

My New Favourite Brownies
I’m not going to tell you these are the ‘Best Brownies Ever’. They may not even be my favourites until the end of time. But just at the moment, they are very much in vogue in the Sutton household. I...
