Lamb wellington

This is always a highly requested dish for me to make. It does take a little bit of time but it's worth it! You can make it with beef, salmon and this time we're making a lamb wellington. Enjoy! 

French in a Flash: Trout en Papillotte

"Unwrapping the unlucky but delicious trout feels something like Christmas." My grandmother is my own Edith Piaf. Mémé has a voice that trembles on the air, buoyed up by soprano aspirations. It is a beautiful but homemade voice--like a quilt....

The Ultimate Beef Wellington

The ultimate in luxurious roasts, Beef Wellington combines beef tenderloin, a rich mushroom duxelles, foie gras, and prosciutto, all wrapped in a buttery puff pastry crust.

Whole Roast Trout with Potatoes and Asparagus

A whole roast rainbow trout stuffed with lemons and lemon thyme, roasted with new potatoes and asparagus--per person! A hearty, healthy, fast weeknight feast.

Whole Roast Fish for 2 With Mushroom Pesto and Roasted Wild Mushrooms

This is an elegant meal for two, but not too elegant to make at home. A big sea bass or bream, stuffed with mushroom-truffle pesto, full of parsley and basil and pine nuts, and topped with crisp-broiled mushrooms. Who could resist that for dinner?

Roasted Trout with Smoked Salt and Fresh Woody Herbs

River Cottage's Grilled Trout with Fennel

In The River Cottage Fish Book, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Nick Fisher offer a slight variation on the standard stuff-the-trout-with-herbs-and-grill-it method. Instead of picking soft, delicate herbs, they call for overgrown, wild fennel. Then, they not only place the floral, herbaceous plant into the fish cavity (with garlic and bay, of course), but also use the woodiest herbs as a kind of grate for cooking the fish. These woody stems smolder as the fish cooks, adding another layer of smok...

French in a Flash: Salmon en Croûte with Rosemary and Asparagus

The French version of the "complete meal in a box" is the en croûte ("in crust"). Consider puff pastry your packing material. Then pack everything you need for your meal—your protein, your vegetable, your sauce—inside, with the package doubling as your carb. Foolproof. Genius, even.

Bacon, Egg and Mushroom Tart

Bacon, Egg and Mushroom Tart made with puff pastry that looks impressive but is actually very straight forward to make! The best part is the cheesy layer under the bacon , egg and mushroom topping. Great for company!
