Val’s Cordon Bleu

Jimmy’s Lentil and Chorizo Stew
This is an amazing and simple lentil stew you can make with or without chorizo. So I've not posted anything in a day or two. It's not to say I haven't been eating 😛 it's more to say I didn't really think they were worthy of an individual blog post. Monday was meat...

Spinach and Sausage Pasta Bake
Now this one is tasty! That's not to say that the other recipes on this blog aren't it's just to say that ... this one? it's tasty!!! I'm going to skip my usual basic photo steps, I like adding them but I wonder if it's overkill. If you don't speak English I'd guess...
Gnocchi with Blue Cheese and Mushrooms
I'm blue da bo di da bo di and I believe I can fry .... First things first! If blue cheese isn't your thing? Simply skip this recipe. This is a quick and simple meal to make. You'll need some gnocchi. I'm using a pack from the local shop. You could make your own if...
Sunday Leftovers Soup
Did you make a nice Sunday lunch today? hopefully you did? Did you end up with some left over stock? any spuds, carrots or other veg? There wasn't much left over for us however there were a few spuds. I didn't get to the market today so there actually isn't a hell of...

Another post with another tricky to think up title. The humble spag bol is a thing of beauty *sighs* I'd guess it's one of the first dishes you learn to cook? With it's mix of veg / meat / carbs it'll keep you going through your first years away from home. The version...

There's definitely something fishy about this dish!!! You knew I'd go there come on 🙂 I've previously mentioned I'm not a huge fan of fish, well this is a fish dish with multiple types of fish (ok only two in this case) For my version I'm going to have potatoes,...
