Coq au Vin

Tried the Guardian "How to make the perfect..." recipe, I used a jointed 2kg chicken as I couldn't get a cock. I probably reduced the wine a bit more than recommended but we have a very heavy pot with a very tight lid and I left it on for the final stage. Pronounced a triumph by Evie and Véro.

Beetroot and Sweet Potato Salad

I think the cooking times are on the raw side of al dente and roasting my rather large beets took some time but worth the wait. It's a Guardian "midweek supper" from Angela Hartnett.

Pork Fillet with Mustard Sauce

My effort is not exactly a picture on a plate but a great straightforward recipe, but all hail Gerard Depardieu's recipe book a great present from Basil.
