My Posh Bangers ‘n’ Mash

February 2, 2026 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

Sesame-battered Monkfish Bites with Green Chilli Sauce

September 21, 2025 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

Sesame-battered Monkfish Bites with Green Chilli Sauce. They say good things come in small packages. Well, these crispy monkfish pieces with a spicy, tangy green sauce pack a BIG flavour punch. Monkfish is perfect for this recipe because of its firm, almost meaty texture and its sweet flavour. It is also a perfect foil for the homemade chilli sauce.

The Best Homemade Baked Beans Breakfast

August 24, 2025 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

The best homemade baked beans breakfast. We live in an age of convenience. If you want some baked beans for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you open a tin. Tinned baked beans have a long history. H. J. Heinz started making them in 1886. They are a good source of protein and fibre. But on the downside, they can contain shocking amounts of sugar and salt. The good news is that with a little time and forethought, you can make the most amazing homemade baked beans.

My Caprese Style Salad with Black Olives and Red Onion

July 20, 2025 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

For just over a hundred years since its first appearance on a hotel menu the Caprese has been found in Italian restaurants around the world. Made with ripe, sweet tomatoes, creamy Mozzarella and pungent basil. It is finished with a pinch of salt and olive oil and that’s it. Simple. It is normally served as an appetiser, part of the traditional antipasto course of sliced cured meats, olives, and cheeses.
