I’m bringing my recipes together here, from quick suppers to long days with the smoker. They’ll appear below as I finish checking the instructions and photographs and publish them. In the meantime, there’s a little more about the project on the Our Kitchen page.

• Smoky Black Bean & Halloumi Couscous with Lemon-Garlic Dressing
  Smoky black beans, three-colour peppers, golden halloumi and a sharp lemon-garlic dressing over fluffy couscous. A tested Friday-night favourite, refined for better texture and hob-only cooking.
• Slow Cooker Red Wine Wagyu Short Ribs
  My slow-cooked red wine Wagyu short ribs, served with garlic mash and minted peas. Eight hours, 500ml of wine and beef that falls away from the bone.
• Foopie — Foo Young Pizza Pie
  Our potato-and-veg foo young meets a cheesy grilled frittata. No fish. No pasta.
• White-Wine Prawn Linguine
  The no-cream, no-lemon version that earned a definite repeat.
• Ultimate Onions & Oven-Bottom Burgers
  The onions were 10/10. The burger now gets a proper final sear.
• White-Wine Mushroom Linguine & Hot-Honey Halloumi
  Courgette, mushrooms and glossy sauce; halloumi takes centre stage.
• Honey-Mustard Halloumi Couscous
  My original roast vegetable and halloumi couscous: golden halloumi, chickpeas, blistered tomatoes, fresh lemon and a honey-Dijon dressing.
• Creamy Salmon & Trout with Green Beans
  Our original favourite. The fixed version uses just a splash of wine.
• Baked Feta, Tomato & Prawn Orzo
  One-dish tomato richness with a loose, glossy finish.
• Smoked Salmon, Dill & Pickled Shallots
  Our fantastic cold-smoked salmon starter, ready in advance.
• Gochujang Cod Rice Bowls
  Sweet, sticky, spicy fish and quick peppers.
• Jimmy’s Sea Bass with Garlic & Herb Butter
  A crisp-skinned, gently cooked whole sea bass with a proper lemon-butter finish.
• Polish-Style Posh Dog Sausage Skewers
  My M&S Posh Dog sausage skewers: cook the sausages, impale with cocktail sticks, cover with cheese, onions and harissa ketchup, then slice into individual cheesy bites.
• Butter-Seared Scallops with Lemon
  Roe-on scallops, a hot pan, golden edges and butter at the finish.
• Haggis with Whisky Cream Sauce
  My 10/10 haggis supper with the triple-quantity Woodman Blend whisky cream sauce, mash and lemony green beans.
• Creamy Seafood Tagliatelle with King Scallops & Prawns
  My original 4 April 2026 seafood tagliatelle: king scallops, king prawns, creamy sun-dried tomato sauce, scallop shells and garlic bread.
• Garlic Potato Dauphinoise
  Tender, thin potato layers in garlic-infused cream, finished with a little cheese.
• Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie with Extra-Cheesy Mash
  My vegetarian mince, carrot and pea shepherd’s pie with cheese folded through the mash and even more laid over the top.
• Jimmy Roasties
  Jimmy’s signature roast potatoes: 240°C fan, aggressively crisp edges and fluffy centres.
• Herb-Smoked Pork Loin
  Our October 2025 dry-brined Borniak pork loin with paprika, garlic, mustard and thyme.
• Hot-Smoked Dill Salmon
  A simple, fully cooked fillet rather than complicated cold smoking.
• Oak-Smoked Beef Short Ribs
  Argentinian seasoning; Texas bark, smoke and tenderness.
