Chicken Cacciatore

I love this simple to make dish. In its true form this should be well reduced and served with sides of vegetables, however in true Italian form (well Italian as done by me!) I tend to keep this more “saucy” and serve over fresh pasta I have given you the ingredients for 4 persons, but [...]

Beef wellington is one of my absolute favourite dishes. No scratch that, I think this has to be my best eating experience I have at home. This is a pretty straightforward dish to cook and can be scaled up or down depending on the amount of guests you have to cater for with very little [...]
