Cheese and Leek Patties with Spicy Carrot Relish
Serves 4 This recipe is a twist on the traditional Glamorgan sausage. In summer months I use red onion, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil in the mixture, and serve them with a fresh tomato sauce. This time of year to accompany the patties I usually make a quick preserve type relish. You can triple the recipe ingredients for the relish and make a ...
Mushrooms with Herb Croutons
Serves 4 Fresh, seasonal and simple are key factors to good tasting food. This recipe uses a mix of delicious mushrooms, which are in abundance at this time of year.

Go-lo Pesto Coated Cod with Roasted Tomatoes
Serves 4 Pesto is so delicious, but quite calorific. This recipe uses quality Brace's breadcrumbs in place of pine nuts and less oil to bring the calorie count down. The pesto is more of a moist crumb coating than a sauce and is a delicious addition to the cod and roast tomatoes. Just a simple crisp green salad is all that you need to bring a perfect balance to ...
