If you’re looking for an alternative to lamb why not try your hand at this slow-braised goat casserole. Spicy and flavoursome it’s just the job to keep you warm and cheery during these grey, damp days. Plus it’s lower in cholesterol and fat than chicken!

I’m not a huge dessert fan but I do like trifle and I do like chocolate and I quite fancied having an easy alternative to Christmas Pudding for Christmas Dinner. This chocolate, boozy trifle (can there be any other sort?) was a hit on the day and was even better a day or so after! It’s one I’ll be making again for sure.

If you are counting down the shopping days to Christmas with rising panic about costs, what to buy, how to wow your mother-in-law or those fussy teenagers here’s a little cheaty edible gift that’ll cut through all that. Using easily available, cheap ingredients they take little time to make (there’s no baking, stirring for hours, keeping an eye in case they burn etc etc). Dear readers I give you… Plum Pudding Truffles. Express your thanks for this in hard cash or hard liquor, I accept both.

Personally I can never understand why some folk dread the Christmas leftovers. Surely that’s why we buy all those glorious chutneys, relishes and mustards all year, just to liven up some lovely cold meats. However, you can also incorporate the leftovers into some great titbits for the festive season. For a few suggestions, read on.

I was lucky to come across some fresh brown shrimp at the market and devised these dishes to allow them to shine and delight. Simple salads that brightened up a dark November evening. It was a really good combination of flavours, even if I say so myself!
