Salmon with Asparagus and Tagliatelle

Fresh salmon fillets or smoked salmon can both be used in this dish. It is such a versatile recipe, and absolutely delicious. Lots of fresh herbs, fresh asparagus and tagliatelle combine with the salmon to create a memorable and healthy dining experience.

Chicken and Bean Casserole, an easier version of a French Chicken Cassoulet

A Chicken Casserole has always been a classic way to cook chicken pieces in a covered dish in the oven with vegetables, herbs and a delicious gravy or sauce, and yet so many people are nervous about making one. This recipe will convince you how easy it is to achieve a delicious and nutritious Chicken Casserole in your own kitchen but with a French influence. I couldn't in all conscience as an Aussie, call this a French Cassoulet, as there is no sausage, mutton or pork in it, but there are beans, chicken and lots of flavour, and it is much easier to cook. Casseroles are also a great way to stretch the budget. 

My forever Chilli Con Carne recipe

 

This is my forever Chilli Con Carne recipe. I've dabbled with the ingredients over the last few years to get it just right, and it's been worth it. What's not to love about an earthy and wholesome beef recipe with a hint of chilli that has you coming back for more. Chilli con carne isn't season dependant, so my friends, start cooking.
