Your weekend feast – 4 November 2016

Shift into weekend gear with a refreshing beverage! We love the sound of this cucumber and ginger fizz mocktail. Add a  punch with a shot of gin or vodka if you feel inclined.

Dive into a cheesy pea and ham pasta dish that’s quick to make and oozing with comfort and flavour.

These baked lamb chops will have your family jumping for joy. A tray bake that’s so simple you’ll actually kick yourself when you see how easy it is to make.

Ever made a potato stack? It’s the stuff of dreams. Top it with a few rashers of crispy bacon and you’ve got yourself a whopping carb hug ready to be devoured.

When it comes to healthy side dishes – you can’t beat a colourful courgette and broccoli salad that’s adorned with radishes and feta.

Whisk yourself off to the Mediterranean with this stuffed brinjal dish, smothered in cheese and tomato with fragrant herbs and garlic to add those special intense flavours and intensity. Great with a leg of lamb!

Ready for the sweet stuff? We’ve got a killer chocolate ganache tart that is going to knock your socks off! Topped with seasonal cherries, it will be the highlight of any dessert table!

If chocolate isn’t your thing, then we suggest you bake a batch of nutty crunch biscuits to go with a freshly brewed cup of tea. Because who can resist that?
