Celebrating Winter
Stews and soups are the normal winter fare, but let’s ring the changes, with a quick to prepare menu.
Avocado is an obvious in season choice for our starter. As a main, Crumbed Pork Chops with Apple and Cranberry Relish will strike the perfect sweet / savoury balance. The cornflake coating on the chops remains deliciously crunchy and protects the meat against overcooking and drying out.
To finish, an Old Fashioned Tipsy Tart, served with Spiced Brandy Cream.
