Nigel Slater's Pot Roast Pork with Star Anise and Ginger

From his Grauniad winter warmers.

Roast Red Pepper Soup with Anchovy Salsa

Did this for Mothers Day treat from Tom Kerridge recipe, really good but using the amounts suggested you end up with a bucket load of salsa definitely one I'd do again.

Evie's Victoria Sandwich from Great British Bake Off 2014

Looks good!

Crispy Pig's Ears with Truffle Oil Mayo

There was something irresistible about having a crack at this recipe from Tom Kerridge, cannot say it met with universal approval. I'd do it again but an experiment by combining ground up pork scratchings with the breadcrumbs was not a success but not a disaster, best with just the breadcrumbs.

Eggs Benedict

Hollandaise, Poached Egg, Ham, Muffin and Evie.....delicious!

Treacle cured Roast Beef

Mainly followed recipe from Tom Kerridge's TV programme. I used Top Rump which was rescued from the bargain bin of Sainsbury's and I cured for nearer 48 hours, also had to reduce the curing liquid more than he says to get something sticky enough to coat the joint for cooking.
I cooked a little longer as it is a cheaper and bigger cut than he recommends, unless you have two ovens you need to cook and keep the meat warm whilst you do the roast potatoes and yorkshires, I used a pre-warmed cast iron casserole to do this. The low temperature roasting technique seems to work a treat.
