Greengage clafoutis
My go to dessert – it’s so quick and easy to put together. In a matter of minutes you can have your batter and add any seasonal fruit you want. Cherries, berries or soaked prunes all work amazingly well.
Pork chop, wild mushroom cassoulet
Not everyone has the luxury of hours and hours to pull together a traditional cassoulet. This is a bit of a cheat’s cassoulet but makes for a more achievable meal which is completely delicious too.
Boulangère potatoes
This French potato dish consists of thinly sliced potatoes layered with caramelised onions, herbs, and stock. This is a complete meal, baked with a whole lamb shoulder on top.
Salade Lyonnaise / Bacon + Egg Salad
A little more interesting than the classic Lyonnaise salad which is just frisée lettuce, bacon and a poached egg. My salad was made from a Sunday morning farmers market haul. Autumnal goods roasted and dressed with a bacon fat vinaigrette.
Omelette x Arnold Bennett
The king of all omelettes. One of the first things I learnt to make as a chef and my all time favourite breakfast. A decadent omelette with smoked poached haddock.
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.
