Italian Dressing Chicken

This is such a simple dish, that I'm not sure it even counts as a recipe as such. However, it really packs a punch of flavour, so it's a must have BBQ or outdoor grill dish this summer. The vinegar and lemon in the dressing give a subtle sharpness, with the sweetness from the honey and sugar helping to balance it all whilst giving the skin a beautiful colour. We've suggested serving with a nice salad and campfire potatoes, but you could pretty much serve this with anything and still have a winner. Fried or chipped potatoes, or even a good potato salad, with plenty of fresh summer veg. It's entirely up to you. Italian Dressing Chicken Super simple, this is one…

Cheats Chicken Kiev

Another all time classic, doesn't everyone love the Chicken Kiev? The dish itself has disputed origins, although most consider it to be Eastern European, hence the Kiev moniker. In the classic French, Supreme de Volaille a la Kiev, it's clear that this is a stuffed chicken breast dish... but what if it wasn't? This version turns everything inside out, keeping all the components but making it a cinch to prepare and healthier as well. We're not going to lie and say that this is as good as a lovingly prepared traditional Kiev, it's clearly not, but at half the calories and tasting this good, we think this will soon become a new family favourite. Cheats Chicken Kiev All the flavour, texture and…

Maiale al Latte

There's something rather special about the rustic simplicity of Tuscan food, and nothing exemplifies that better than this classic dish. Very simple, using just a few high quality ingredients, this isn't the prettiest dish you'll ever make, but trust us, it will be one of the most rewarding. Tender, tasty pork and velvety smooth milk curds, brought together with the most sensational sauce. Traditionally made with pork loin, as the trend for breeding leaner meats continues we find this is best made using good quality shoulder. It won't slice in the same way, but it will take the cooking technique better and give the deep rich flavour we're after. Maiale al Latte This traditional central Italian dish may not be the prettiest…

Lamb Doner Kebab

A post pub classic, over the last 30 years or so the Doner Kebab has firmly ingrained itself in the national conscience, almost an end of night ritual for some. But in the cold, hard light of day, how many of us have wondered just what was in it? Wonder no more. This mini fakeaway version of the shop classic may not be entirely authentic, but in our opinion it's all the better for that. Great quality ingredients, and a fantastic dish for big gathering (remember those), served with lot of fresh salads and zingy pickles and sauces, this is a perfect spring and summer dish.

Meatball Sandwich

The origins of the humble meatball are lost in time, with a myriad of incarnations across the world; From the English Rissole and the Swedish Kottbullar, to the Bun Cha of Vietnam and the Bakso of Indonesia. Everyone it would seem loves a good meatball. But let's face it, no one has done it better than the Italian American immigrants of the 19th century, who first paired it with a fresh tomato sauce, and stuffed it onto Italian rolls with handfuls of tasty cheese. We love them in half like this, so that we can toast the cheese and get that beautiful golden crust. We know that you'll love them just as much. Meatball Sandwich Succulent meatballs, finished with a simple tomato…

Cheats Porchetta

Love a hog roast? Then you're going to love this Italian classic, which is stuffed full of garlic, herbs and seasoning, and is utterly sublime. This version doesn't quite reach the highs of the Porchetta trucks that you'll find at parks and fetes across Italy, simply because we're not expecting you to roast an entire prepared pig, but it comes a very close second! Cheats Porchetta Traditionally made from the whole pig, this version is a lot easier to pull together, and isn't so big that you'll be eating it for days on end. Roasting Pan with RackButchers String 2 kg Pork Loin (boned. Skin on, or off if preferred keeping a good cap of fat)1 whole Pork Tenderloin (approx 500g)8 cloves…
