Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry (& fried rice) and Mango & Passionfruit Cream Crumble
The thing I love about Julie Goodwin is that she has three boys and really gets the whole family meal thing. I bet her boys asked her as they walked out the door to school – “hey Mum, what’s for dinner?” Like every day!
Steak with Escalivada & Manchego Butter and Minimisus
“Escalivada is a Catalan salad of smoky roasted vegetable. Its name is derived from the verb ‘escalivar’, which means ‘to cook in hot ashes’.” Vallli Little
Gourmet Beef Casserole & Coffee Pistachio Roll
This casserole is an oldy but a goody. I have been cooking this for about 35 years and without fail it is always a conversation stopper. People are too busy eating and mopping up the gravy with the bread topping to talk!
Beef Stroganoff (slow-cooker style) & Lemon Mascarpone Sponge Cake
Slow cooking makes everyones life easier, whether you are a busy mum, active retiree, working full time or all of the above, being able to put dinner on first thing in the morning and forget about it is definitely a plus all round. This delicious Beef Strog was a real winner with the family and the leftovers were had on toast.
Beef & Beer Pie with Caramel Apples
The filling AND the pastry for this delicious Beef & Beer Pie can be made a day ahead; keep refrigerated and stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out.
Five of my favourite salads from 2020
“When you start with quality produce, a few simple flavours will complement and contrast with your base ingredients to create the perfect taste experience. Think of food with passion, not anxiety, and feel free to substitute and add ingredients as you please. This is often how personalised culinary masterpieces are created.” – Marie Claire. It is so easy to get creative when preparing a fabulous salad. Lend your personal to touch to some of my favourites.
