Almond & Raspberry Tart
A crisp sweet pastry tart filled with soft almond frangipane and juicy raspberries, finished with a light apricot glaze.
Bacon & Mushroom Risotto
This bacon and mushroom risotto is rich, creamy, and deeply comforting. Crispy bacon and sautéed mushrooms bring bold savoury flavour to soft, silky rice cooked with stock until perfectly tender.
It is a fantastic one-pan style supper for cooler evenings and feels restaurant-worthy with minimal fuss. Finish with parmesan and cracked black pepper before serving.
