This polenta coated fish recipe is inspired by the restaurant “Threecoins Italian Trattoria”. Why? Well, I can’t tell you how many times I have paneed an ingredient with either breadcrumbs, or panko breadcrumbs. This restaurant did things a bit differently, they coated there squid with polenta. And it worked an absolute treat. Is it better than regular breadcrumbs?…..I think I might…

Pulled Pork Sliders with Lemon & Yogurt Coleslaw
Ok, so here are my Pulled Pork Sliders. And I made them with a zingy, fresh slaw. The pork has a bit of bite so the coleslaw just acts as a nice refresher. And since the yoghurt replaces the mayonnaise, it is super healthy! I was also going to spread a bit of mustard on…
Chicken & Leek Pie
Hey everyone! This Chicken & Leek pie is a fantastic comfort food dish for the family. Now I know I know, it has been a while and I do apologise about that. I have been very busy finishing 5 assessments at school, and eventually I came to the conclusion that it is probably not the…

Bagel Burger with Fennel and Smoked trout

Seared Scallops and Fresh Salsa on Crushed Potatoes
Seared scallops, the two reasons why I believe that people don’t cook them in their homes often is because they usually aren’t all that cheap. You can buy them frozen as a cheaper alternative then defrost them, but fresh scallops are obviously much better quality. Also, people tend to get intimidated when it comes to cooking…
Strawberry, Vanilla and Vodka Ice-Cream
So, strawberry ice-cream, flavoured with vanilla and vodka. The strawberry and vanilla make sense, we see that combination all the time. Why the vodka?

Beer Battered Fish Fingers
There is some inspiration behind this beer battered fish recipe. So not very long ago I worked as a kitchen hand for a busy restaurant. I actually quite liked the majority of the food there.
