I feel like such a tart. Or two!
I’ve posted this vid before but if you want perfect roast potatoes with the Christmas dinner, my fool-proof recipe is on my website: https://wp.me/p3MwyR-8xU #xmas #xmas2020 #christmas #christmasdinner #food #instavideo #instafoodie #roast #roastpotatoes #recipe #foodie #cooking #besthomecook
The best "pigs in blankets" recipe, now on my website - link in profile: honey-glazed, stuffed with cranberry & cider-soaked apricots. A fun way to up the wow factor for the #Christmas lunch or for any roast! #homecook #food #foodie #xmas #xmas2020 #instafoodie #instafood #xmasfood #christmasdinner #pigsinblankets #homecook @britainsbesthomecooks_
My take on Heston’s gorgeous “Night Before Christmas” mince pies sold at Waitrose. I’m not a fan of mince pies but I’m having to stop eating them before they go to the neighbours.
Thai-style chicken ballotine with a lemongrass & ginger broth: slightly posh surf & turf! A light meal before we enjoy #strictly tonight. Recipe on website shortly. @claudiawinkle @tessdaly #chicken #thai #saturdayvibes #saturdaynight #food #foodie #instafood #foodporn #meal #recipe #surfandturf #ballotine #stuffing
Mince pies made with with orange & cinnamon shortbread #christmas #foodie #mincepies #shortbread #baking #teaching #instafood #instafoodie #xmas #teaching
A spot of loosely festive baking today: mini chocolate, cinnamon & fruit pavlovas.
Launching my 6th form cookery course soon, so I made a few of the 1st week’s dishes for their recipe book: beetroot & goats’ cheese tortellini and ravioli, with a sage & garlic browned butter lemon sauce and pesto #italy #italian #pesto #homecook #cookery #cooking #pasta #ravioli #tortellini #homegrown #teacher #teaching #school #food #foodiesofinstagram #foodie #instafoodie #surrey
Baumkuchen with spiced orange & amaretto & a rich chocolate icing #cake #kuchen #baumkuchen #baking #recipe #food #instafood #instafoodie #foodporn #teatime #chocolate #orange
And steamed buns filled with spiced hoisin chicken. A simple recipe (on website - link in profile) #dough #bao #steam #steamedbuns #baking #recipe #food #foodie #baobuns #nowaste #homecook #gbbo #bakeoff #japaneseweek #hirata #streetfood
Steamed bao buns filled with crispy lamb shoulder and sticky honey, soy & ginger glaze. A simple recipe (on website - link in profile) #streetfood #dough #bao #steam #steamedbuns #baking #recipe #food #foodie #chinese #baobuns #gbbo #bakeoff #nowaste #homecook @britainsbesthomecooks_
2-tone bagels, 100% natural. I couldn’t bear those artificial ones on Bake Off the other day, despite how vibrant they looked! So I limited myself to just 2 muted colours but with a full-on flavour wallop: part pesto, part roasted beetroot/walnut.
Coffee walnut choux with a simple walnut gianduja and vanilla cream. Recipe on website - link in profile #baking cooking #teacher #food #foodie #instafoodie #french #choux #coffee #chocolate #instafood #recipe #homecook #besthomecook #mocha #pastry #afternoontea #cuisine
Pizza night (this one is yellow courgette & red onion pizza). A standard olive oil bread dough.
‪I love edible lesson planning! Smoked haddock & spinach tart with paprika shortcrust: to make with my Year 11 GCSE group ahead of their NEA, and then to discuss provenance, sustainability, nutritional benefits, seasonality etc... #food #teaching #GCSE #school #fridayfeeling‬ #instafood #foodie #nea2 #foodporn #teacher #year11 #nutrition
A bit of a carvery chez nous: very slow-roasted shoulder of minted lamb & freshly picked veg. A roast has got to be one of my favourite meals. Ever. #sunday #sundayroast #roast #lamb #besthomecook #instafood #instafoodie #roastdinner #weekend #food #instavideo #homegrown #veggies #roasties
Anyone for tea? Date and walnut loaf: ideal for #yorkshireday or for anyday. Recipe on website (link in profile) #cake #loaf #instafoodie #instafoodie #food #tea @yorkshiretea
A batch of Mantecados de Almendra - Spanish almond & vanilla shortbread. So light & crumbly, they dissolve in the mouth. Recipe on website (link in profile) #spanish #baking #homecook #shortbread #instafood #instafoodie #biscuits #Mantecados #almonds #instarecipe
