RECIPE

Apple and Eccles Spiced Pies I’ve combined the lovely sticky dried fruit filling from the traditional Eccles Cake with chunks of apple to make these crispy, delicious rolls – serve warm with a bowl of softly whipped cream. View Recipe Braised Pork Belly with Sweet Cherries Cherries and crackled pork skin go hand in hand in this easy winter recipe from primal Wellington-based chef Sarah Dueweke's new cookbook, 'Primal Kitchen'. View Recipe Chicken with Mushrooms and Tarragon Chicken thighs are packed with flavour and pair beautifully with mushrooms, tarragon and sour cream to make a quick, delicious braise. Serve with cooked rice, pasta, mashed potatoes or slices of grilled sourdough bread and a salad. View Recipe I made this dish, it was superb !
