Spareribs - glaze including orange marmelade, devon fire chutney and other random store-cupboard ingredients. Excellent.
Pheasant with glazed onions. Good flavour but the pheasant was rather tough.
Venison loin. Tender, flavoursome and delicious. Not quite as underdone as the photo suggests.
Shepherds pie. Very nostalgic, but perhaps a bit too cheesy.
Pork fillet flambé with apricots. Delicious and with some spectacular flambéing.
Meatballs and pasta. Lovely, fluffy but flavourful meatballs. Chilling before cooking helped to retain the right shape.
Herb crusted rack of veal. Looks good, but disappointingly sinewy veal, that needed at least 10 minutes more cooking.
Slow cooked pork with orange. Slow cooking resulted in lovely tender pork. The skin went into the oven separately at the end to crisp up and got a little bit too burned.
Venison with blueberries. Very nice flavour with the fruit, but not as tender as I had hoped.
Grilled mackerel. Simple and good but more attractive with the head and tail still on!
