Scotch Eggs are perhaps the greatest picnic food ever made. The delicious, multi-layered treat with savoury sausage, a gorgeously soft egg and that crunchy exterior. Eat them hot or cold, as part of a meal or as a snack, breakfast, lunch or dinner. This particular version utilises the deep, gorgeous richness of black pudding…

Beef Lasagne (My First YouTube Recipe!)
That’s right! I’ve finally decided to bring The Guesscipe Book to YouTube. This first ever episode was very much a test activity for myself and as such there are still plenty of rough edges I’d want to shave off before attempting another one of these. But, overall I quite enjoyed the experience! The full ingredients…
Sweetcorn and Red Pepper Cornbread
Cornbread! So named for the cornmeal that gives it that vibrant orange colour. Not a true bread, in the sense that it isn’t a dough so much as a better, but it serves some very important purposes. It also comes together far quicker, taking only about 40 minutes from start to finish! Perfect for mopping…
Slow Braised Leg of Lamb in Red Wine Gravy
Spring has sprung once more, and while at the time of writing it’s unlikely you’re going to be spendin time at any family gatherings, there’s still no reason you and your household can’t get together and enjoy the beautiful, rich flavour of a slow cooked lamb. It is of course the time of year where…
Boxing Day Pie
For those lucky ones among us, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without an obscene amount of surplus food. Notice, however, I do not say unnecessary food – there are plenty of ways to make use of it. From the famous assortment of boxing day sandwiches, to the more modern turkey curry – I myself decided to…
Marmite and Cheese Dip
Around three months ago, at the age of 25, I discovered that I like marmite. What had once been the horrible, burnt tasting “wasp honey” I had tasted as a child was now a wonderfully, sticky, salt and slightly bitter nectar. I’ve since become obsessed, using it in pretty much every sauce and stew since then,…
Prawn Fried Rice
Fried rice is one of those fantastic recipes designed to utilise all of the leftovers and turn them into something beautiful. Leftover rice, leftover protein and leftover vegetables fried together with a few flavourings to make a quick and easy bowl of goodness that will fill you up and help avoid waste. In these environmentally…
Fish Tacos
Summer is here and it’s a time for bright, fresh flavours eaten out on the patio, handheld food good for socialising with a beer in the other hand. These fish tacos have a gorgeous shine to them that could only be more summery if they were served by a dolphin wearing a floral garland. …
Sweet Curry Fries
Anglo-Indian food is an absolute staple of UK takeaways, and while we may differ in many of our choices – korma or vindaloo, peshwari or garlic naan, bombay aloo or saag – we can all agree on one thing. Aren’t the poppadoms lovely? Beautiful crisp discs topped with onion, mint yoghurt, mango chutney and if…
Beef, Blackberry and Blue Cheese Pie
This one really gives a new meaning to “black and blue.” I know it might seem odd, but bear with me on this. Firstly, as a quick glance at many of my past recipes will show you I am a huge proponent of pairing meat and fruit. Fruit brings a delicious acidity and sweetness that…
