Steak Diane
How to cook a steak and make a pan sauce is a skill all cooks should master. This version with sauce Diane is my favourite.
Chocolate mousse, port figs
Figs are in season! And there’s no better way to cook them than gently roasted with port. Beautifully light chocolate mousse is the perfect accompaniment. Give this simple dessert a go!
Monkfish en papillote
Cooking anything en papillote is a great way to cook, especially fish on the bone. This monkfish is served with a roasted tomato sauce.
Café de Paris butter
A compound butter which is perfect with meat, fish or veg. This is the ultimate surf and turf! Ribeye and lobster together is already a good start. Cover them in this butter and its even better.
Sea bass, meunière sauce
A classic! heres how to prep a seabass and finish with a classic sauce meunière.
Nearly Nicoise salad?
Happy enough to call this a nicoise salad? There’s tuna, egg, all the vegetable elements so why not… The only difference is the dressing, its somewhere between a tonato sauce or Caesar salad dressing. It works perfectly for this salad.
How to roast a chicken
Every Sunday this is how i roast my chicken and make chicken sauce from scratch.
Croque madame flatbread
Combine the greatest sandwich in France and a pizza. It makes for something pretty special. I will most definitely be making this again!
Tartiflette burger
Combining one of Frances greatest potato dishes with the burger. Someone had to do it! No need to serve chips with this one, its everything you need in one bun.
Hazelnut pain perdu
Brioche soaked in a rich vanilla custard, sprinkled with brown sugar and caramelised to perfection. Topped with a vanilla cream and hazelnut praline makes for the perfect brunch treat!
Merguez meatball sub
Merguez is a hot, spiced lamb sausage which makes for the perfect meatball, when paired up with some piperade sauce and pesto it makes the ultimate sandwich!
Morteau sausage pasta
This dish combines two of my favourite things, pasta and Morteau sausage. Morteau sausage is a French delicacy, for this recipe I’ve turned this gently smoked sausage into a lovely ragu, spiced with fennel and black peppercorns.
Chocolate choux bun
A giant choux bun filled with a whipped Chantilly cream and covered in a dark, rich, chocolate sauce. What’s not to like.
Ham and Cheese Feuilleté
Puff pastry encases a savoury filling of ham and melted cheese. This French classic is perfect for a light lunch or an elegant appetizer, offering a crispy, flaky exterior with a rich, creamy interior.
Crêpes Suzette
Often finished tableside for the theatrical flair of flambeed alcohol, thin crepes are finished in a boozy citrus sauce, making this the best way to enjoy a pancake.
Crème brûlée
The dessert that needs no introduction – silky smooth, set vanilla custard with a crunchy bitter caramel top. 3 ingredients and so simple to whip up.
French onion soup
The ultimate French starter, the smell of this coming out of the oven transports me straight to France. Rich caramelised onions, beef broth and molten gruyere cheese.
Steak frites
One of the simplest, yet most famous dishes across France. Found in every brasserie, steak, peppercorn sauce and a pile of fries. Tough to beat!
Leek vinaigrette
Leek vinaigrette is a classic French dish of tender leeks dressed in a tangy mustard vinaigrette, finished with herbs, croutons and chopped eggs, it’s an elegant starter or a great side dish.
Moules à la crème
One of my favourite dishes served across France. Fresh mussels cooked in a creamy white wine sauce with onion, garlic, and herbs. Perfect with a crusty loaf and glass of chilled wine.
