    Gravadlax

    December 16, 2015

    I found this traditional 'lax recipe in the Guardian's blog but hear Jamie Oliver does a mean cure by adding beetroot to the mix, which looks sensational, and there is a highly recommended vodka based version from Simon Hopkinson.

     

    For the more tradi...

    Lamb Pot Pie

    March 7, 2015

     

    This is  a simple lamb stew to which I then applied a puff pastry lid for the last 45 minutes of cooking to create a pot pie. Normally it's best to use the fattier lamb shoulder for such a dish, but you can use large chunks of a topside mini roast to create a low...
