Potato, Cheddar and Spring Onion Rolls (makes 8-16)

In December my Community Orchard had a bring and share Christmas social. I wanted something that was easy to prepare and cooked these delicious rolls which everyone appreciated. They are very moreish and my photo doesn’t really do them justice. Do give them a try if you are looking for a vegetarian version of a ” sausage” roll- they are much better than shop bought versions. The recipe is from ” Notes from a Small Kitchen Island ” by Debora Robertson.

Beef Bulgogi with Sushi Rice (4)

A Korean dish of marinated meat and my go to dish whenever i visit my local restaurant Per and Kor. Its run by a lovely couple- she is Korean and he is Persian and I have never been disappointed with the food although there can be a bit of a wait. They serve their Bulgogi with crunchy lettuce leaves to wrap the beef. This version is from ” A Flash in the Pan” by John Whaite. Start making this in the morning to give the beef plenty of time to marinate.

Tuna Fritters (4-6)
