Mexican Beans

This is a really delicious, warming and filling dish which is perfect for winter evenings. It’s pretty healthy, and it can be served in so many ways: just plain or with cheese melted on top; on toast; with poached or fried eggs on top; as a side dish with meat – it goes particularly well with sausages; or in true Mexican fashion, with nachos and a simple ‘guacamole’, which is my personal favourite.

My BLT (Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich)

I’m generally not much of a fan of bread unless it’s really good quality – ciabatta, sourdour or seedy health bread, preferably made with organic wholewheat flour, like Eureka – but every now and then I just fancy a sandwich. This is my version of the classic BLT.

Bolognaise Sauce

This is one of the most comforting sauces of all time, it’s not too expensive and you can use it in so many ways! I sometimes make a big batch and use it for different things, storing the various dishes in the freezer until I need them.
