Image courtesy of Yelp.comI love scallops. They're sweet meaty little seafood morsels that have a delicate and luxurious flavour. That coupled with the fact their flavour is wonderfully versatile and can go with a whole range of other flavours and textures makes the palate more excited.This recipe combines aromatic elements from the herb crust whilst using the sweetness of the chilli to elevate the aromatic tones and give a prominent but pleasant "punch". This is ideal as a starter or can be modified to ...
This dish is a wonderful interpretation of the traditional Cod Brandade, and is delightfully comforting.

This is a nice simple but flavoursome southern fried chicken recipe.

This is an unbelievably simple recipe. You can use any cut of pork, but i would mainly recommend either leg or shoulder. Loin works well too, but be sure to get loin joint that has plenty of marbling on the eye of the emat, and a reasonable amount of surrounding fat for flavour. Using fillet works well as an individual portion and absorbs flavourbeautifulbut I would recommend wrapping in bacon first for a salty edge that brings out the aromatics well on the palate. Be sure to adjust cooking times.25G OF ...
The cooked pie mix here can be made in batch and divided and frozen, to be reheated whenever you need to. Since its already cooked you only have to warm it up, and add to a pie case. The shortcrust pastry is nice, but isnt set in stone. You cna use puff pastry if youlike to create more portable slices. You can even use a suet pastry and steam the little beggars in puddings.SERVES 50.5 Kilo of new potatoes, scrubbed and sliced finely4 onions thinly sliced1 kilo of Hogs Pudding meat (can be obtained from l...
