My rusty old Sospan

Okay, so I better put the record straight, this is not a sospan (sauce-pan), neither is it rusty (just a bit aged), but it is my favourite kitchen utensil. I believe it belonged to my Grandmother, then my Mother and now me - so a family heirloom. Made completely from cast iron and certainly not non-stick, it is great for pan frying and then finishing in the oven.

Nice hey?….

Cauliflower Purée

Great with poached fish especially a whole sea-trout (sewin) or salmon, this is a really easy yet classy recipe that makes a change from smothering your cauli with cheese sauce.

white sauce

AKA Béchamel
The classic basic flour and milk sauce, used in everything from lasagne to parsley sauce. This is my take on it.

chicken stock

Hating waste as much as I do, I always try to squeeze as many meals out of a roast chicken as possible. One great way to finish off a half-or-more eaten carcass is to make stock from it.

Once made, throw in some pak choi, noodles and cooked chicken then garnish with chilli sauce for a great quick and easy meal — super noodles with from left-overs.
