Potatoes Dauphinoise

This classic French Potatoes Dauphonise recipe  is in my opinion truly the creme de la creme of potato dishes! Highly indulgent with layers and layers of paper thin potatoe slices baked in cream, milk, loads of grated Guyere cheese and with hint of onion and garlic. A precious recipe like this is sure to impress and bound to be a staple in your kitchen.

Irish Stew

Irish Stew might just be one of my favourite slow cooked comfort dishes. There is only one way to make Irish Stew and that's with lamb so please don't heed anyone who calls a beef stew Irish Stew. I'd recommend lamb shoulder being the best choice, it's really not to difficult to debone and cut as long as you have a sharp enough kniefe handy.  The lamb  cooks itself two whole hours in the oven until tender and juicy and falling apart.

You can really add in any vegetables you like, I sometimes add in cabbage or celery but make sure not to forget the Roux which is an easy and delicious thickener and elevates this dish entirely, simply combine butter and flour on the stove and whisk together continuously until the colour develops and transforms from a golden brown to a deeper rusty texture. I'm confident once you make this recipe it will become a steady staple in your kitchen.
