You can’t beat best end lamb rack. In my humble opinion… and it has to be pink, so many times I see it over cooked. The fat has to be rendered down. Served with dauphinois and some asparagus or green beans. Or both of course!!

Biltong. I love it, but it’s expensive and the quality isn’t always great. So, I’m making it myself… been playing around with different meats - this batch is from really good quality rump. Changed the flavouring up, a bit more coriander and some chilli flakes. I’m loving it.

Fish and chips. Well, my take on it… Monkfish coated in live yeast batter. It goes all bubbly and frothy and tastes amazing and super crispy. Triple cooked chips, crushed minted peas, and warm tartar sauce.

Garlicky Chicken Couscous. Yum. carolinagelen, this is a killer recipe and I cannot wait to try some of the others.
I’ve never recommended a cookbook before - I have literally so many I have lost count. This book, Pass the Plate, is so easy to read, to follow. Excellent. Go and buy it, you can thank me later. Try this on page 77 and you’ll be hooked!

A little spin on a . I had no so instead used some . When rendering it, I added a couple of fillets. The flavour was good, a lovely different taste but probably a tad too salty! Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I’ve signed up for the Regent’s Park Race for Life to raise money for Cancer Research UK! 💖🏃‍♂️

This cause is very close to my heart—my mum had bowel cancer, and I’m running not just for her but for everyone whose lives have been affected by cancer, whether directly or indirectly.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference in funding life-saving research. If you’d like to support me, please donate through my fundraising page https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/kevins-race-for-life-3274686198

Thank you so much for your support! 💕

Sunday ‘brunch’ - Croque Madame. Sourdough pan toasted in butter, Comte béchamel, baked French ham, melted Comte and of course - a fried egg. Remove the egg and you have a Croque Monsieur. Lovely and very filling. Can add some Parmesan for a bit of an extra punch, but I think a really good Comte is good enough without needing Parmesan (which isn’t exactly a French cheese, but that being said Gruyère is lovely on the Croques and that’s a Swiss cheese).

“Give us this day, our daily bread”
A few very simple ingredients and look at what happens! This reminded me of when my Mum Teresa Cutajar Mckinley, used to work for Nakers Oven. On my way to school I’d pop into the shop and get a loaf, still warm from the oven and freshly done doughnuts. Heaven! As the butter melts into the warm bread, the crunch of the crust and softness of the bread inside…

French Baguette. So much better when baked at home, fresh, as there is no fat in it at all, so it can go a bit stale and loose its crust quite quickly. 15 1/2 hour process, but worth it!

I love to bake. It doesn’t come naturally to me, but I love the challenge, the smells that fill the house and the smiles a fresh baked bread brings to faces. Of all breads to bake, focaccia is by far my favourite. I’ve always baked focaccia and it’s always been ok, but I recently got Paul Hollywood’s book ‘bake’ and tried his ‘Ultimate Focaccia’ (3 times) and it takes the end result up several levels. If you’re a good baker, or new to it, I highly recommended this book to you - you can thank me later. This time I made it simply with Kalamata olives and oregano. And lots of really good extra virgin olive oil and Maldon salt!
