  Pork Escalopes Cordon Bleu Recipe Book: Fortnum & Mason - The Cook Book  Buy The Book Review : 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Excellent! Pretty quick and easy enough to make. I actually prepped most of it earlier today and left them in the fridge and then finished off by coating them in flour, egg and breadcrumbs when I was ready to start cooking. They're really tasty, a bit like a pork version of the stuffed chicken breasts. I couldn't get hold of Gruyere cheese slices so I just bought a small block of Gruyere and cut off thin slices to line up to form a slice all along the inside. It didn't actually say which side to roll up from (long or short side) so I made the executive decision to do it from the short side. Turns out it was a good decision. I used a tiny spoonful (approx half a teaspoon) out of a Knorr Chicken Stock Pot for the stock, mixed to 50ml with hot water. Ham was just sliced ham on the bone packed stuff from Sainsbury's. All in all a very good recipe. Serves 2 Ingredi

Marmalade Glazed Sausages Recipe Book: Fortnum & Mason Cook Book Review: 🌟🌟🌟. Not a good start I'm afraid on this one. Husband didn't like it, he said it tasted bitter. I personally, didn't get this. I thought it was alright, but to me it was just Cumberland Sausages in a sticky sauce which didn't overly taste of Marmalade. It was easy enough to make though and only took around 30 minutes to make. Aga conversion: I fried the sausage in the saute pan on the floor of the Roasting Oven for about 12 minutes each side. I did the marmalade and butter bit on the Boiling plate. Served with a bit of Rocket Salad. Will I make this again? Probably not.  

Nigel Slater - Paprika, Mustard Chicken Goujons  Recipe Book: Nigel Slater - Eat  Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So, So good! When I started mixing the paprika and mustard together I started deliberating whether these were going to be any good as the mix smelled funny. I actually went and opened a new jar of mustard to check the smell. It was fine, my nose is obviously weird. These are very quick easy to make, I used 2 chicken breasts and sliced each one into 3.  I suppose they’re not overly healthy with being fried but I suppose you could try baking them....nah stick to frying! 😆  I served with the wedges of lime and also a bit of Hellman’s Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise.  Absolutely delicious! Aga conversion: I used a regular frying pan on the boiling plate for this recipe as they really don’t take long to fry. Will I make this again? Absolutely! The husband loved them too.

Chicken Wings, Katsu Sauce Recipe Book: Nigel Slater - Eat Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Very nice. For us it didn’t quite hit the spot for a 5⭐️ but it was still good. We had loads of sauce left so next time I’d make half the portion of sauce. It tasted a bit like satay your me even though there was no peanut butter in it. I had to substitute medium curry powder for mild as I didn’t have any mild in, but it tasted good regardless. Easy enough to make, basically chuck all the sauce ingredients in the blender. Aga conversion: I did most of it on the hot plates, I used the boiling plate for the first 5 minutes and then simmered for 30 minutes on the floor of the simmering oven. I did the final crisping you fry on the boiling plate.  Will I make this again? Yes it was good, probably just use chicken breast next time as it was a bit messy to eat though.

Citrus Chilli Grilled Chicken Recipe Book: Nigel Slater - Eat Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was so good! Such a simple idea but so tasty. It’s supposed to be easy to bone a chicken leg.... not for me... I ended up using the scissors to do it, but I got it off in the end. Next time I’ll get the butcher to do it! So, apart from the faffing about deboning the leg it was very quick and easy to make. I just served mine with a salad. Aga conversion: I used a small baking tray on the top set of runners in the roasting oven. Took about 10-11 minutes as my Aga was running slightly cooler. Will I make this again? Yes I will

Spaghetti Bake Recipe Book: Nigel Slater - Eat Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ OMG 😮 this was so simple yet so tasty 😋. Absolute winner! This recipe is not in any way healthy with having double cream and bacon in it, but it’s a great winter warmer. Quick to prepare and then 30 minutes in the oven....can’t grumble at that.  I made a half portion and put it in my 1.2L (I halved the recipe to serve 2) capacity oven dish.  I have to admit, it didn’t look overly appetising when I put it in the oven dish, it looked quite bland and boring and I was actually hesitant to try it.... what a nice surprise though, the garlic and bacon really did do something special. Note: when Nigel’s recipe says serves 4 I get 6 out of it. So this recipe when halved I thought there was enough to serve 3 but it was so good I ate my very large portion! Aga conversion: I put mine on the grid shelf on the floor of the baking oven for 30 minutes and it was perfect. Will I make this again? Defin
