Not the healthiest of fish pies....but just the ticket for a family tea with Papa to join us. My youngest, helped cook the fish, loves pouring, so he poured the milk the cream and put the accompliments into the cooking sauce, bay onion cloves and fish.

None left.....enough said!

A very easy way to cook chicken thighs........although messy and not the recipe to try just after your wife has cleaned the back splash and hob! I also don't think this is a recipe to try if your on a diet. I found it to be quite oiley with the lardons and the Chiken skin. Please don't let that detract from trying it, the recipe was very tasty, lovely warm and comforting dish just the ticket for a Valentines meal. As accompliment I served it a parlsey mash, great for soaking up the juices.

The Recipe in the book is really from Baked Beans......however I was keen to get the slow cooker on the go otherwise I'll get blamed for having another gadget in the kitchen that collects dust. I also doctored the recipe in that I used a tin of tomatoes and diced pork shoulder rather than pork belly (something to do with my child hood and my dad presenting me with some undercooked congeled fatty thing telling me it was nice!)

This had a really authentic taste, very easy to cook and superb way to use dried haricot beans.

I was looking for an accompliment to a simple chicken supper and decided to use the same recipe book. The boys have taken a severe dislike of sweet potatoe (something to do with baby food perhaps?), so I took the opportunity to make it for the Saturday night dinner.

This adds a lovely twist of combining sweet potatoe with chilli, rosemary, garlic and butter!

In a nut shell very easy and tasty! This is the kind of recipe you need after a harassed day maintaining the high energy and focus you need to look after 2 boys. Something that practically cooks it's self with a little nurturing. The addition of lemon, parsley and wine at the end, makes a great sauce.
