Yet another Waitrose recipe card but it may be an improvement on my Cod on a bed of Spinach idea. The original specifies salmon but cod or hake would benefit from this treatment, too. Planning serves: 2 preparation time: 1…

Sausage, Pear and Onion Traybake
The title should really include “… with walnuts and gorgonzola”. Traybakes seem to have become quite popular recently. This is another from Waitrose Food that even a person who is not a fan of sausages liked. We thought the flavour…
Grilled Cos Lettuce Dressing
Used to dress grilled cos lettuce, this made a good side to barbecued lamb chops. Brush the cos lettuce, halved lengthwise, with olive oil and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side before dressing with this. I think other dense…
Sweet Fennel Tarts
Another from Mark Hix which sounds enticingly interesting. It originated from a pastry chef at The Ivy (wherever that is). It might sound a bit of a wacky dessert, but M. Hix thinks it’s absolutely delicious. Planning serves: 4 preparation…

Devilled Butter

Onion Gravy
I found a source of Faggots – British “meatballs” made of minced pork and pig liver – of which I’m very fond. Onion gravy seems to be the traditional accompaniment so off I went. A thought occurred to me as…
