The Wheeling Gourmet by Nicolas Steenhout

Chicken Tenders With Vincotto And Balsamic Vinegar Glaze

Nice little bite-size morcels. Very quick to prepare. Clean flavour. Looks good, too

Braised (Slow-Cooked) Lamb Shanks with Guiness and Prunes

Lamb, Guiness and prunes - a great mix. Slow cooked until the meat almost falls off the bone by itself. A perfect winter dish!

Lime Beignets

Whether you call them beignets or doughnuts, these small sweet nibbles are simple and more'ish.

Baked Blue Cod With Beurre Blanc Sauce

Beurre Blanc is a classic French sauce, made primarily from butter. Decandent and rich - a little goes a long way. But it's scrumptious and worth it once in a while.

Potatoes Boulangère

Potatoes Boulangère, sometimes known as scalloped potatoes, is a wonderful dish - simple, tasty, filling. Falls in the comfort food category for me!

Chicken Cordon Bleu

You could buy it in the frozen aisle at the supermarket - but you'd be better off making your own, it's cheap, quick, and delicious!

Fresh Tuna, Asparagus, Green Beans and Pea Salad

The clean flavours and textures of fresh peas, beans and asparagus mix well. The tuna accompanies the salad very well.
