Mozzarella Tarts These are dead easy to make but look quite impressive as a starter for guests! So you need: a packet of puff pastry 1 or 2 red peppers, halved and de seeded 8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half 2 red onions, wedged mozzarella cut into medium chunks some thyme sprigs This is a crackin' starter or nice as a light main meal served with a big, dressed green salad. Roll the pastry out so you can make 4 squares that are about 8 centimetres each side. Cut them out and save the left over trimmed bits for later use. Put them on a baking tray and brush some water around the edges. Use the ...  Read the complete review

The lazy woman’s cauliflower cheese. I don’t know about you but I get those evenings, especially at this time of year, when I just want to eat some good, honest comfort food, but I don’t want to have to spend hours cooking it.

Cheese & Leek Cakes. This is a very tasty and easy to make dish which works well as a vegetarian starter or as part of a main meal. The white stilton with apricots is a good cheese to use because the sweetness of the apricots gives an interesting taste - the crumbly texture of the cheese also goes well too.
