Today I was in Co-op, or ‘Coop’ as my daughter calls it, with her buying bits and pieces for a social distancing picnic down by the river. At a loss for what to cook for dinner, I saw outdoor bred pork steaks which reminded me of this recipe. It is really very delicious and I …
This is easy and so delicious. It can be served in a variety of ways but the most satisfying for us is in a bun. Biting into it gives me almost as much pleasure as biting into my first mince pie with brandy butter on December 1st. A knife and fork cannot be used as …
Yum yum – I love pulled pork. This was bought at the WI in Shaftesbury and yet again I forgot to weigh it. It was a small rolled shoulder. Once combined with the other ingredients, this would amply serve 8. We often make some such concoction when cooking on a fire.
Ingredients
Pork
Rolled shoulder of pork
1 onions
3 carrots

A version of this using red pork was sold in a cafe on Jalan Ong Tiang Swee in Kuching, Malaysia in 1992/3. Suzanne, who I worked with over there, and I, used to gladly tuck in. This is my version, the pork is not red, but if I close my eyes, I am briefly taken …
By semi-mistake this happened, using up leftovers. It has since been repeated because when feeding friends, whipping it out of the oven – ‘here’s something I prepared earlier’- makes the weekend so much more fun with hot slaving happening the day before!

My favourite time if year is now if the skies are clear and the ground is crisp. We have become victim to a box set and our neighbour, Jane, joins us to watch it while eating supper. This is what we will have tonight – as comforting as the cosy fire we will eat it …

Servdes 4-6
Ingredients

About 400g Polish bacon chopped into small pieces
1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tube tomato puree (maybe not …
We were given a bag full of lamb and pork yesterday by a friend. I can’t actually remember why but I assume his freezer is on the blink. I am sure I heard a while ago from Delia Smith that it is in fact okay to re-freeze after defrosting, provided you then ensure that the …
‘Now a rissole may be a most delicate preparation made with chicken and cream and truffle – a dish for a king; but of whatever material you make it, it must be creamy inside and crisp outside.’

Having made pulled roast pork on Saturday so that it falls apart, and …
Pies can contain just about anything; perfect for using up leftovers, particularly after you have had a roast. I made two pies, one chicken and mushroom and one pork, peppers and paprika. Guess whose recipes inspired the pie?

I know this is a separate recipe, the leftovers of which went in to the …
