    I was looking for a cheat's cassoulet. This fit the bill nicely.. I halved the ingredients (just cooking for 2) and there's still heaps of "sauce" left! Quite tasty, but it was missing something.. je ne sais quoi? Maybe it's the Toulouse sausages really make the cassoulet zing... (been a French weekend for me!)

• Sausages with red cabbage and onion jam

    Easy and tasty but takes a little while to bring together. I served this with mashed potato.

• Yoghurt cake with sangria-poached fruit

  • Melanie on March 17, 2012

    Very happy with the result of this cake. Incredibly quick to put together - cake ingredients are simply mixed in a bowl in stages, then batter is ready for the oven. I rubbed the lemon and orange zest into a little of the sugar before mixing in to release the flavour. While the cake is baking, make the poached fruit (I made some changes) - I simmered the red wine and sugar (skipping the frozen berries at this stage). Eventually added in the peels, about 5 quartered plums and simmered. Then towards the end I added some leftover morello cherries and about half a jar worth of their juices, as well as some frozen berries. Serve the cake with poached fruits and a dollop of yoghurt.

• Jerk chicken

  • Dishyrishie on July 25, 2015

    Solid easy and tasty weeknight meal. Marinate the chicken one night and then cook the next. Don't overload the marinade on the skin while cooking so it can crisp up. Serve with a simple salad or BBQ corn,

• Massaman curry lamb shanks

    Great comfort dish. Good with roti. Freezer dish.
