Recipe: Pommes Boulangère


During my week of seasonal eating one of my favourite French recipes managed to squeeze its way onto the line-up, although I did stick to my UK-only rule for its ingredients. Pommes Boulangère is a classic French dish, firmly falling into the category of home-cooking (and literally translating to mean potatoes in the style of the baker's wife), and in little need of adaptation. However, I've got a hungry boy to feed so sliced potatoes, onions and stock just doesn't cut it in my house. I added some flecks of bacon, a generous helping of Somerset Brie, and some super fresh, local runner beans on the side...

Recipe: Pork Medallions with Black Pudding, Haricot Beans and Spring Greens

I seem to be a bit obsessed with cooking pork lately, maybe since the success of slow-roasting a huge slab of pork belly at my family's Jubilee weekend celebrations, and add it to my plate at every possible opportunity. I stumbled upon an awesome, simple supper recipe by Waitrose in my recipe file, consisting of haricot beans, black pudding and spring greens, and decided to give it try. With a pork medallion piled on top, naturally. The rich, meaty gravy created by the black pudding is a great partner to the crunchy greens and warming haricot beans.
