Hug in a Mug: Slow Cook Bolognese Sauce

Slow Cook Bolognese Ragu

The sunshine has come out today! However, the weekend was a different story with wind, rain and all the garden furniture being blown about! So, it was a weekend of slow cooking, starting with this lovely slow cook Bolognese, which I served with some noodles, in mugs, which made us all feel cosy and warm. This recipe can be made either in an electric slow cooker or it can be cooked on the stove and left to slowly bubble away for up to two hours. I credit my Italian brother-in-law for first showing me how to cook Bolognese

Steak à la Moutarde (Creamy Mustard Sauce) with Welsh Black Beef

Steak Frites

I was inspired during a recent stay on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales to make a French-style dish using local Welsh ingredients. Steak Frites or steak and chips (but it sounds better in French) is one of our favourite ‘bistro-style’ suppers and I have lots of variations on one simple recipe. Sometimes I leave the steak whole and other times I prefer to slice the steak in thin slices. As well as using a good-quality moutarde, I also add a good twist of pepper or coat the steak in coarsely ground black pepper, adding a little stock

Nigella’s Everyday Brownies (With Leftover Mini Eggs)

Everyday-Brownies

I hope you all had a really lovely Easter weekend and that the Easter bunny was generous when he came to visit. Just after our children finished an Easter egg hunt in the back garden, we saw a real bunny with a fluffy white tail hopping away – the timing couldn’t have been more perfect!

Ultimate Comfort Food: Quick Tuna Fish Pasta – to make us all better!

Tuna_Fish_Pasta2A

Well, we’ve gone from a great week to a not-so-great week. Half-term was brilliant, with exciting trips to our friends in Devon, a visit to Bath and then a trip home to my parents. When we came back we had a day to get ourselves organised before school although I then came down with a nasty cold and fever and my little girl came out in chicken pox! So, we’ve all been feeling a bit sorry for ourselves and I’m struggling, as usual, to get on top of things.

Luckily, my mum came to stay and
