As a lover of good steak, I had quite a few conversations with people in LA about how they liked to eat theirs. This dish is a result of me soaking up all those vibes. I'm pairing a cooked sauce, made with peanuts and spices, with a fresh green salsa that... read recipe
This is a wonderful evolution of that humble meat sauce we all love. You can create around fourteen incredible-tasting portions of bolognese out of one little rabbit, so it's beyond cheap to make. And most importantly, you can knock it together in around three... read recipe
Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 6 hours This is a proper old-school Sunday roast with crackling. Leaving the bone in adds a bit of extra flavor and having a layer of fat helps to keep the meat nice and moist as it roasts. This isn't the kind of joint you... read recipe

You might have heard me talking about my mate Andy the Gasman - he's the one who didn't ever want to use his oven as he thought it might devalue the price of his house, so he left it in its cellophane wrapper! Five years on and nothing's changed, but I wanted... read recipe
This is like a Waldorf salad! The combo of strong cheese with apples and walnuts just works. If you can get hold of quality gorgonzola, please do - the sweetness of the apples really offsets it. I've used marjoram here, but thyme works just as well. First... read recipe
