Chocolate and hazelnut biscotti
Biscotti are Italian twice-baked biscuits. They are quite dry and crispy and are a perfect accompaniment to dunk into coffee, crème brulées, mousses or pannacottas. Again these make a very tasty edible Christmas gift and look very attractive packaged in a jar tied with ribbon.

Garlic and rosemary-smeared lamb cutlets
Sometimes you are just looking for something a little extra special for a quick midweek meal. Take note if you are planning on getting a little amorous after supper, with six cloves of garlic, this is definitely not the dish for you!

Chocolate and hazelnut terrine
This gives a real wow factor, so why not give it a try if you really want to impress your date? Take your time making and assembling it – it is well worth the effort.

Quesadillas with Parma Ham, Sundried Tomatoes, Cheese & Jalapeño Pepper Relish
Quesadillas are simply browned tortilla wraps with cheese and a selection of your favourite ingredients. In these quesadillas, I added some Ballymaloe Jalapeño Pepper Country Relish which gives them a real kick!

Tasty Wholemeal Yeast Bread
This is a delicious brown wholemeal yeast loaf that is fairly easy to make and better than any bread you will buy in the shops. I use cup measures as much as possible there are much easier than scales. For those who don't have cup measure, there are approximately 100g or 4oz of Flour in a cup. Odlums don't supply Strong Wholemeal Flour anymore, you will have to make the trip to the health food shops to source.

Seared Scallops with Confit of Pork Cheek and Cauliflower Textures
From: Neven Maguire: Home Chef
Rich and tender pork cheek combines perfectly with sweet, delectable scallops in this easily prepared starter. Although there is some preparation involved, the results are well worth the effort and will have your guests begging for the recipe! Order your pork cheeks from your craft butcher, giving a few days’ notice.

Celeriac and Baby Carrot Risotto with Sherry Vinegar Caramel and Crispy Potato Rosti
From: Neven Maguire: Home Chef
Risotto is always a popular dish in the restaurant and we usually have a verison on the menu. The sherry vinegar caramel works well with the vegetables and crispy potato rosti. It’s a combination I first tried on a trip to Rome with my chefs. They save up all the tips and use them to eat in some of the best restaurants in the world

Fillet of Dry-aged Beef with Braised Blade and Celeriac Purée
From: Neven Maguire: Home Chef
Beef is our number one seller in the restaurant and we sell more fillet than any other cut. However, I’ve recently discovered the blade of beef – which has an excellent flavour and offers great value. First we braise it before shaping and leaving overnight to firm up, which creates a lovely round for presentation

Crunchy Pistachio Biscuits
When friends drop by for a catch up over coffee, they really don't believe me when I tell them how easy it is to make these biscuits. They are by far my favourite - lightly salted pistachio nuts are warmly tucked inside the golden brown bickies leaving you with a nice crunchy bite.
