Pescatore pasta (seafood pasta)

This seafood pasta is decadently rich and packed with luscious creamy flavours, but it’s deceptively quick and easy to make. It’s perfect for a special occasion or just when you feel like indulging in delicious pasta fare.

Chocolate mousse

Chocolate mousse can range from light and airy to thick and decadent. This recipe is somewhere in the middle – a rich chocolate flavour, still light but with a smooth and creamy texture.

Slow cooked beef cheeks in red wine

This dish comes together with just a few ingredients and minimal effort, but the end result is melt-in-your-mouth tender beef cheeks in a thick and luscious red wine sauce. Serve over mashed potatoes and you might just have the perfect winter meal!

Bolognese

Bolognese sauce – the staple of Italian cuisine, where basic, everyday ingredients cook low and slow to transform into a rich, hearty sauce. Perhaps the best part is that it’s so versatile; I use ground beef and add lots of vegetables for flavour, but you can adapt this recipe to your own taste.

Lasagne

The classic Italian dish that everyone has their own spin on, but ultimately it’s all about the layers! My version uses slow-cooked ragu, bechamel and grated cheese amidst layers of pasta. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of flavours and textures – a truly satisfying and indulgent dish.

Beef ragu

The star of this dish is the beef. Three different cuts of beef each lend something special here: beef cheek for melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, short rib for richness and flavour, and osso buco for texture.

Beef Stroganoff

Beef stroganoff is a symphony of savoury and creamy flavors. The tender beef will melt in your mouth, but the real star of the show is the velvety sauce, which is the perfect combination of tang, gentle spice and cream.

Carbonara

The simplest recipes are often the most difficult to perfect. While not completely traditional, this recipe makes carbonara simple and minimises the risk of the eggs overcooking. The results are a silky, rich and decadent sauce.

Seafood stew

This is winter comfort food at its finest. But the best part might be that it all cooks up in one pot in under 30 minutes. It’s easy enough to whip up for a midweek dinner, but so delicious you’ll feel like you’re eating at a five-star restaurant.
