Coarse Pork Terrine

A recipe from I don't know where but I added some brandy, hopefully it will mature nicely for next week.

Chocolate and Beetroot Cake

After the disappointment of last version found a Nigel Slater recipe, was generally much better but next time I will try with grated raw beetroot rather than cooked, I cooked for a further 20 minutes which I think was perhaps too long.. but will definitely revisit with raw beetroot.

Pork Tenderloin, Prunes and Spätzle

A pork recipe from the BBC website and at last I got around to making Spätzle the German pasta like dish to accompany, I used recipe in link and put the cooked Spätzle in iced water and then reheated in a little butter and added parsley.

Asparagus Soup and Truffled Eggs

Here's a recipe from behind the Time's firewall, I took a fairly bold approach and used all the asparagus even the woody bits, it was OK but next time I will trim and peel a little, also need a`little practice with the eggs.

Griddled Asparagus, Boiled Egg and Cheese

Asparagus on griddle for 3-4 minutes,some Yarg, egg boiled for 8ish minutes and vinaigrette..

 

Chocolate and Beetroot Cake

This looked interesting and was described as decadent but forgive my prejudice...it was from a "vegetarian" recipe..in truth not that great although I think with more chocolate this might work.

Ottolenghi Cod Cakes

Another great recipe from Ottolenghi from his book Jerusalem, some might suggest that more sauce would be better....
