    • Baked Gnocchi with Bacon & Blue Cheese

      Baked Gnocchi with Bacon and Blue Cheese

    • Classic Cheese Fondue

      Fondue

      A classic, North American version of a Swiss cheese fondue. Though fondues were overdone in the 1970s and 1980s to the pointy of being seen as kitschy, when you make up a classic version like this one you understand why they gained the popularity they did.

    • Huntingdon Fidget Pie Recipe

      Image of a chef holding a hot bowl

    • Limerick Ham Recipe

      Image of a chef holding a hot bowl

      Image of a chef holding a hot bowl

      Excellent for single people or for households where you need quick meals on the go, as you can freeze the individual meat loaves and take them out of the freezer when you need to put a fast and easy meal together.

    • Pork in Corn Husks

      Pork in Corn Husks

      Gorgeously-flavoured chunks of moist pork, infused with the flavour of corn from the corn hunks they are bundled in for cooking. And they look stunning, too.

    • Smokey Maple Pepper Glaze for Ham

      Smokey Maple Pepper Glaze for Ham

      This glaze for baked ham has a robust, tart taste to it that makes a welcome change from the usual overly sweet, unhealthy, sugar-laden glazes that are put on hams. Its slight tartness really compliments the saltiness of the ham.

    • Stilton & Apricot Stuffed Chicken Breasts

      Image of a chef holding a hot bowl

      Chicken breasts are the default piece of chicken to serve these days. But let’s face it: they are often dry, boring and cheerless, served only because they are perceived as healthy.

    • Tarragon Chicken Recipe

      Image of a chef holding a hot bowl

      A really great twist on roast chicken, instead of the same old, same old. And it actually uses enough of a fresh herb that it’s worth buying from the store, for once.

    • Yorkshire Pudding Recipe

      Yorkshire puddings

      Yorkshire puddings are one of those things that are meant to be cheap fillers to fill people up at the table — that instead, everyone treats as a featured dish and can’t get enough of.
