Mexican chorizo, seasoned with spices like cumin, dried chillies and clove, is very different to what we in the UK know as chorizo (i.e. Spanish chorizo) which is predominantly flavoured with smoked paprika. These tacos are inspired by the Mexican dish of chorizo &…
Thanks to Linda McCartney’s for sponsoring this post The pairing of fennel-seedy Italian sausages and broccoli is always delicious. Here the broccoli is cooked until super soft which, along with garlic, lemon and cheese, allows it to act as a kind of impromptu ‘pesto’…
Ahh spaghetti bolognese, a definite comfort food in many countries but particularly a British staple (although the version most Brits make is nothing like a classic ragu all bolognese – especially as we usually serve it with spaghetti which would be blasphemy in Italy).…
