This French trimmed roast rack of lamb recipe is a dinner party showstopper and the herb crust is so delicious. Get your butcher to trim the meat taking out any of the fuss. It cooks really quickly so you won’t be in the kitchen for ages preparing this dish. Serve with your favourite potato side or cauliflower gratin, green vegetables or a leafy salad.

With this roast chicken with herbs, white wine and cream, I’ve taken my favourite whole roasted chicken recipe and added cream. The bird gets cooked in a bath of the most delicious flavour components which render into the most sublime jus. This forms the basis of the creamy sauce which you pour over the chicken and dunk your crusty bread into (and this part is mandatory).
Fattoush is a delicious and flavour-packed Middle Eastern salad of toasted pita bread and chopped vegetables tossed through a vibrant vinaigrette dressing. This ubiquitous salad is everyday fare in Israel & other parts of the Middle East. It reminds me of Panzanella but with a different flavour profile and I’m rather obsessed with it. It can happily be eaten on its own or with a plethora of other dishes as part of a mezze feast.
This creamy chicken dish with ravioli and spinach is an easy weeknight supper recipe. Use store-bought ravioli to make it even easier (either four-cheese ravioli or spinach & ricotta). You could also make this with any short pasta such as rigatoni, fusilli or penne. When onion, garlic, butter, white wine, basil, cream and Dijon are combined, it can only mean good things. The spinach ramps up the vegetable component and melts into the creamy sauce.
These healthier red velvet cupcakes are a dreamy treat and you wouldn’t know that they are loaded with beetroot. Using both cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate, they have a soft fine crumb and deep chocolate flavour. The chocolate intensity is further amplified with the smoothest and creamiest chocolate buttercream frosting.
I took my favourite lamb shank recipe and slowly braised the shanks in red wine, rosemary & bay until they were fall-off-the-bone delicious. I draped a sheet of buttery puff pastry over it all and turned it into a showstopping pie. This is the best lamb shank pie and feeds four people generously. You can keep the shank bones in to serve as pie birds and give your pie an impressive effect, or simple shred the meat into the sauce and do a more classic pie topping or pastry lattice. These could also easily be turned into individual pies with the shank bone protruding out. Just divide the meat and sauce evenly between 4 pie dishes. This is the perfect dish for Easter feasting
