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)
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
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.
Grilled Lamb cutlets, New season Potatoes, Asparagus and Beernaise sauce
Grilled Lamb cutlets, New season Potatoes, Asparagus and Beernaise sauce. For me Spring conjures up a host of golden daffodils. New born foals in the fields. Sorry I got a little carried away there. Spring is the season of renewal and there are lots of fresh exciting things to cook and eat. This recipe includes four of mine so is pretty much a winner. Lamb, asparagus, delicious Jersey potatoes and a beer flavoured sauce. Yum.
