Our Chocolate, Date and Orange Marmalade Cake uses meringue as its base and is enriched with dates and chocolate and flavoured with orange marmalade. Sounding a bit unusual? Not really, chocolate and orange make a great marriage and the dates …. well they add texture and a complex sweetness ….

This is a recipe for XO Sauce with a difference. It is gluten-free, of course, which is the first difference. The next is that XO sauces usually include dried scallops and seafood but we use readily available bacon and mushroom to create the savoury complexity expected in an XO sauce ….

There’s going be a crowd of us around the dinner table this Christmas so the menu has been decided, not just with a nod to tradition, but by what we can fit in the oven and how we can actually deliver a hot meal! One whole turkey was never going to cut it, so the plan arose to cook several turkey breasts, rolled and roasted ….

This delicious whole Cranberry Relish was originally made to complement our Rolled Roast Turkey Breast. But we think it’s so flavourful and moreish you could happily serve it with a Roast Chicken or Seared Duck Breasts, or even use it as a filling for a sweet tart.
