a killer mac 'n' cheese

servings 8-10

'Mac 'n' cheese' is a classic American pasta dish - everyone loves it. Sometimes it's done so badly in the convenience area, it's almost become famous for being horrible, but when you do it properly, trust me, it's an absolute killer. Feel free to use any... read recipe

Amazing roast veg

Serves 6 to 8

I absolutely love that extra special gnarly texture you get from cooking veggies in a wood fired oven. Fire it up an hour or two before you're ready to cook. When the temperature has reached between 180°C and 200°C (check with your thermometer) and the smoke... read recipe

April's rosemary straw potatoes with lemon salt

servings 4

banana and honey bread

First of all, peel your bananas then purée them in a liquidizer or food processor. The mix will be surprisingly wet. Pour it into a measuring jug, then top up with water until you have 625ml or just over 1 pint. At Stage 1 of the basic bread recipe, use this... read recipe
