Although currently out-of-season we had a couple of pheasant breasts in the freezer so I thought I would put them to good use in this salad. Chicken would work equally well, especially the flavourful thighs. The pomegranate salad is loosely based on one devised by Sabrina Ghayour which I saw recently on Saturday Kitchen Best…

Good Italian Food Caffe Massarella is tucked away in a quiet corner of Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield next door to what was once the large Debenhams department store. Despite that now being shut the restaurant is none-the-less popular despite the obvious drop in footfall. The closure of Debenhams has given them the opportunity to…

It has been some time since we were last at the Advocate Arms in Market Rasen, in fact four years. In 2019, under the previous manager, we had a poor experience of cold food and slow service (which was out of character) but finding ourselves in the vicinity today we thought we’d see if things…

If you find yourself on your lonesome as I do today (Mrs Wanderer has gone to a ‘Crafternoon’ to make Easterly things) this is an ideal and reasonably quick lunch to prepare. This is quite a substantial meal (I don’t cook small) so scale back on the prawns and lentils if needed. Serves 1. Prep…

The Mansion House restaurant is located in a splendid looking Georgian building which fronts onto the pavement of Upgate. Once through the black double doors we climbed a small flight of steps and entered the restaurant. We were faced with a central table located immediately through the doors on which stood a delightful floral display.…
