Gordon Ramsay’s Maze
With locations in London and New York City, Gordon Ramsay’s Maze restaurant focuses on quality ingredients, imaginative flavor combinations, and simple preservations. The dishes are served in small portions, enabling patrons to savor a wide variety of tastes in one visit. This cookbook gives readers the opportunity to cook the Maze way. But it is more than a collection of the restaurant’s best recipes. The book explains how each dish would be served in the restaurant, following which additional recipes are offered using the same ingredients. Each signature dish — for example, Braised Shin of Veal with Pea Risotto and Butter-Roasted Cod with Silky Mash and Spiced Lentils — is followed by two additional recipes using the same ingredients and geared to the home cook. Covering starters, entrees, and desserts, Gordon Ramsay’s Maze shows how to make meals both artful and delicious, all highlighted by Ditte Isager’s gorgeous photographs.

Mummy Kitchen: Lamb Hotpot
Now this is one of the best easy winter dishes that I just love during the winter months before it gets into the spring season.
I specially love dishes that can be cooked without much preparation and require little work and washing up afterwards and the lamb hotpot especially fits into this sector.
This is also perfect for your slow cooker because lamb can be cooked slowly hence it increases the lovely flavour that the dish provides.
I always aim to have my crockpot set up and cooking from about 12noon and then it tends to be ready by the time you all want to eat in the evening.

The Delia Effect
The Delia Effect does not just apply to the well known television cook Delia Smith but any of the popular chefs that manage to get record viewing figures for their television programmes. It all started though with Delia Smith, and it was a common occurrence for her to mention something in one of her cooking shows and the result was that within a matter of days, the ingredients would be completely sold out in shops and supermarkets all over the UK.

Dominic’s $7 Family Meals: Cooked Vegetables and Cottage Pie
For my February $7 meals I am going for a vegetable selection and a Cottage Pie. I have chosen the vegetable selection because even though the recipe says you have to boil the potatoes now you can use another way of preparing them.
We have just bought a Philips Air fryer where you can have any food you like but not feel guilty. If you buy one I would use one of these to cook your vegetables because they taste wonderful in the air fryer.
