Sauces

The Best of Local Produce – Spaghetti al Pomodoro

August 9, 2026 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

Cooking this dish was a revelation. Cooking at a low temperature helps keep all the flavours in the sauce. However, it will take a little time, and please don’t try to rush it, as your kitchen will be filled with the most delicious, hunger-inducing aromas. Be patient; it’s absolutely worth the wait

Smoked Haddock and Poached Egg with Asparagus, Sugar Snap Peas, and a Beurre Blanc

May 17, 2026 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

Smoked Haddock and poached Egg with Asparagus, Sugar Snap Peas, and a Beurre Blanc. There is a certain class of genteel English hotel where they serve an assortment of dishes alongside the usual offering of a full English and a Continental offer. Maybe a bowl of kedgeree, a Manx kipper or a perfect poached egg and smoked haddock. This nutritious yet tasty dish can easily be elevated to a stunning lunch or supper dish. Perfect for spring with some sautéed seasonal vegetables and a simple beurre blanc or butter sauce.

Salt and Pepper Pork Chops (椒盐猪排)

February 1, 2025 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

A real favourite of mine as it is incredibly tasty, and the pork is tender and not dry. What’s more, it is quick to cook so perfect for a midweek supper. Finally, you don’t need lots of expensive ingredients, most of them will already be in your store cupboard or pantry.

Swedish style Meatballs and Buttery Mash

May 23, 2023 by Christian Gott - An Island Chef Leave a Comment

I think the last time I watched the Eurovision was as a student and coincidentally that was also when I visited Scandinavia. I can remember the beautiful scenery. The scarily expensive beer. Mountains of delicious seafood. Smorgasbords. Brunost, a creamy caramel flavoured whey cheese. And of course, the meatballs.
