Here's what's come from the ovens and stoves this morning.

All popular, all very delicious.
Keep warm. Spring is well on the way to springing!

We're here to make dinner easy and delicious for you.

Italian Meatballs with sweet tomato sauce: Delicious meatballs, in a lovely beef stock and tomato sauce, with parmesan, alongside fabulous vegetable risone (pasta shaped like rice). A great meatball dish!

Fish/Smoked Fish Pie: both of the above fishes in a lovely leek and 'splash of white wine' enhanced white sauce, under a buttery crumb. My recommendation is that this meal is best heated in a regular oven with the top off, so the crumb crisps up. Fish pie the way my mother made it.

Braised Lamb Shanks: with mash, roasted carrots and a rich gravy. Fall off the bone tender! They are a meal made for this time of year. (GF, DF)

Braised Beef Satay: Rich, long cooked and tender. Beef braised in a coconut cream based satay sauce. Served with noodles and vegetables.

Chicken Marbella: A very popular RRK meal, with very good reason....it's fantastic! Chicken cooked with white wine, prunes, capers and green olives, herbs etc etc, served with potato gratin. (GF)

Vegetable and Chickpea Curry: vegetables too numerous to list, with chickpeas inn a lovely gentle coconut cream curry sauce, served with basmati. (GF. DF, V)
