The Class Cook

Address to a Haggis (Wellington) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

Hosting a Cookalong Class on Burns Night is a rare treat & such a lovely way to celebrate a Scottish tradition that often is forgotten!

Rather than throwing everything into a pot, watching it boil & call it a cooking class I created this bespoke menu for a couple of years ago!

Together we made these delights, straight from the comfort of our own kitchens:
Haggis Wellington
Garlic Totties
Buttery Neeps
Homemade Peppercorn Sauce
Class Cranachan

Not only did we cook up a storm but since this was a teambuilding event we had competitions, some singing & a lot of laughs too 💙

If you think your work team would enjoy a similar event, hit the link in my bio to find out more or drop me a message to get booked in!

🎄 Swipe for a photoshoot of my Hasselback Parsnips with Prosciutto, Brie & Honey 🎄

I dare you to upgrade your Christmas dinner to include these parsnips & you’ll blow your guests away❤️

Ingredients:
Parsnips
Brie
Prosciutto
Runny Honey
Pomegranate Seeds

Instructions:
Peel & trim the parsnips then cut in half lengthways
Slice at half centimetre gaps along the vegetable (don’t cut all the way through, just about halfway will do)
Roast in the oven for 30mins at 180
Remove from the oven and alternate a little bit of prosciutto then Brie in each of the gaps
Drizzle in honey then pop back in the oven for 5-10mins
Sprinkle over your pomegranate seeds and a final drizzle of honey then enjoy

Absolute class flavour combo for everyone to enjoy!

It’s the return of my Live Cookalong Classes - Live on Instagram 👩🏽‍🍳👨🏻‍🍳

It’s been years since I’ve been in here but after I saw Eileen Monaghan sharing photos of her recent visit (featuring a whale of a haddock) we thought we’d pop in for a quick bite!

There are so many good Chicken Enchiladas kicking about in Clydebank but I honestly think this Creamy Chicken Enchilada is the best one - a decent kick of spice & I really appreciate when places let you do half rice/half chips!

✅ Dip each one into some melted chocolate (we used pink melts but any chocolate will do)

✅ Enjoy!

These are ready so quickly & perfect for nibbling away while you work!

Let’s talk about batching baby 🍲

Do you batch cook your meals or cook as you go?

Like everything else in life, I think there is a perfect balance between the two ⚖️

If you need some inspo for meals to batch cook, here are some of my favourites:

We all love the idea of it, but who actually has the time or patience to find decent recipes, plan when to make them, write out all the ingredients, create a shopping list & go shopping all before you’ve even stepped foot inside the kitchen? Exhausting!

How about a beautiful Slow Cooker Lamb Tagine on a dark & blustery night?

I was feeling very smug remembering to put this in the slow cooker so that we all came home to a lovely dinner. Teamed it up with some Moroccan Couscous, lit the candles, sat at the table all in time for our 11 year old to declare that she didn’t like it & proceed to make herself a packet of Koka noodles 🤣🙈

Recipe recorded & dropping soon for anyone who doesn’t fancy noodles 🎥
