Mushroom Risotto with Parmesan and Truffle Oil

Risotto is so versatile it can be taken from an everyday dish to a stylish dinner. Michelin starred chef Paul Heathcote has an amazing mushroom risotto recipe on the Great British Chefs website. Follow the recipe by Paul Heathcote and you will be able to give your risotto that professional finish. Paul uses store cupboard ingredients for the base, and a selection of fresh mushrooms, grated Parmesan and truffle oil.

Once you have mastered the base recipe it is easy to add fresh ingredients such as leeks, spinach, mushrooms or fish. Half an hour to spare - Arborio risotto rice, a shallot or an onion, a glass of white wine or Vermouth, vegetable stock, mushrooms, a little Parmesan to grate over - you've just made a fabulous meal and saved money too.

Risotto is a dish I turn to again and again, especially when time is short or I have a day when I'm struggling for dinner inspiration.  A fabulous creamy risotto made with care is one of my top ten favourite meals.

Yorkshire Pudding Recipe - Great British Chefs

Yorkshire Pudding is like a hug, it makes you feel warm and cosy.  We like to eat our Yorkshire pudding with either beef or lamb, but I know some people enjoy eating a Yorkshire pud with roast chicken too.

My Grandad used to eat his Yorkshire pudding with gravy before his main meal.  I used to save mine for later and would eat it cold with jam spread over, or dare I say it, butter spread all over and sprinkled with lots of sugar.  Better still, I used to ask my Nan if she would cook my Yorkshire separately and add some rhubarb to the batter mix, my Yorkshire pud then became Rhubarb Drop!

On the Great British Chefs website you will find the Ultimate Yorkshire Pudding recipe by Michelin star chef Galton Blackiston.  His version is made with strong bread flour and he also adds a pinch of ground nutmeg.  Next time you are planning a roast, how about trying out his recipe instead of your usual Yorkshire pudding batter and let Great British Chefs know if you cooked it and loved it!
