I love a sponge and can’t really go past a slice of Victoria Sandwich. These cakes can be found on the counters of most tea shops in and around the UK. Served in wedges, sandwiched together with lashings of deep red raspberry jam and fluffy light cream, it is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of English Breakfast tea. For sponge perfection – take your time adding the eggs.

Moroccan Cous Cous and Mint Salsa VerdeThink of these two as the ‘finishing touches’ to my delicious Pan Fried Lamb Loin with Hazelnut Dukkah. They are the perfect accompaniment – but think beyond the lamb and partner these with your favourite barbecue meats, add them to your Christmas buffet or spice up your weekday evening meal. So versatile and so easy… Let your mad scientist out, and experiment tonight! |

Parsnip PureeThis is perfect for pairing with my ‘Venison 2 Ways’ dish, and an absolute winner of a side when you want to impress without too much fuss – It delivers on flavour, texture and taste – What more could you want in a side dish? |

Salad NicoiseThere’s a very good reason why the French Salad Nicoise is a classic – It’s delicious! I’m not a huge lover of potatoes, so mine is spud free. Traditionally made with new potatoes, green beans and boiled eggs, if you’re watching your weight this is the perfect mix of protein and salad greens for you – Of course I’ve Jax’d it up a bit, but I’m sure you’ll agree it still a classic – and I could always eat more! |

Apple SlawThis recipe is just the right accompaniment to all things pork. It’s fantastic to take along to barbecues and a good base to which you can add different herbs or other ingredients handy in your pantry or fridge. |
