Belgian Endive and Ham Casserole

This is one of my favourite vegetable recipes. It is a real indulgence, and one I usually use for special occasions. It originates from The Netherlands, and is a family recipe. It is so good! A tasty way to serve Belgian Endive, or “witlof”.

Pear, Roquefort and Rosemary French Galettes – Tartelettes

These wonderful little tartelettes are made from a combination of ripe, sweet pears with tangy, sharp Roquefort blue cheese and aromatic rosemary.They make an excellent and very elegant starter; they are also wonderful if served as a light luncheon dish, with salads and chutney or pickles. The galettes can be assembled several hours in advance – or even the night before – then chilled until you are ready to bake and serve them. I have stipulated shortcrust pastry – but puff pastry can also be used.

Lower Fat Cheese Fries

These have a delightful flavor and are a satisfying alternative to fries that are fried. Note that you’ll need to soak and scrub the pan but it’s well worth the effort. Use a non-stick pan if you have one available.
