a killer mac 'n' cheese

Cheese | serves 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

apple pepper pot cake

Fruit | serves 14

This sticky, spongy, gorgeous pudding is my homage to Bristol. I perfected it there by taking most of the spices that the lovely Guyanese family I met put into their incredible pepper pot meat stew, and using them to add mega flavor to this otherwise classic... read recipe

baked chocolate pudding

Chocolate | Serves 6

This pudding is chocolate heaven! The original recipe idea for it came from my mate Ben, the head chef at Monte's. I've changed it round a bit to make it easier to make at home. Melt 125g chocolate with the coffee, then pour into small ice-cube molds and... read recipe

cheat’s home-made pappardelle with quick tomato sauce

Pasta | serves 2

Home-made pasta sauce is so easy, and you can sling it together in around the time it takes to open a jar and heat it up. Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and add a good few lugs of olive oil. When the oil's hot, add the garlic and chili and... read recipe

chicken and mushroom pasta bake

Pasta | serves 4

I remember meeting a lovely old couple outside my parents' pub and when they heard I was going to Italy they told me to make sure I cooked turkey tetrazzini - I hadn't a clue what they were talking about and then, by chance, I saw a recipe for chicken tetrazzini... read recipe

chicken, sausage & prawn jambalaya

Seafood | serves 8-10

Jambalaya is a French word that means 'jumbled' or 'mixed up', and I have no doubt that the philosophy and heart of this recipe come from a similar place to paella, kedgeree and risotto. Originally, any Louisiana 'critter' unlucky enough to get caught would... read recipe
