Waitrose cheese, prosciutto and asparagus puff pastry tart

This is a beautiful recipe. Really impressive to look at, and incredibly simple to make. The goats cheese flavour is a classic combo with asparagus and prosciutto and everything works so nicely.

The one thing to note is the recipe does encourage you to blind bake the pastry. I would recommend you do that as the cheese mixture is very wet and you’ll end up with a soggy pastry if you don’t blind bake it.

Beautiful recipe with a crisp salad dressed in balsamic with a glass of white wine. You can get the recipe at Waitrose here.

Waitrose sea bass with tomato and butter bean ragu

I’m not usually a massive aubergine fan but this was a nice way to soften them and pair them with classic white bean and tomato stew. A splash of wine would have gone nicely in there too. The sauce was mopped up with a nice crusty roll. Crispy sea bass skin made this a lovely midweek meal.

Waitrose salmon with buttered leeks and toasted tomatoes

This was a pretty tasty dinner and easy to make. Roasting the salmon I find makes the flavour more subtle and less rich than pan frying. The buttered leeks were nice because they retained some sharpness from the wine and the tomatoes were soft and provided a some moisture with the potatoes.

Waitrose hot dogs with New York-style pushcart onions

Love a hot dog, and chilli dogs are even better! I saw this recipe and thought the onions would be perfect on top of the chilli dog franks! These are slightly spicy, and very nice. They also go nicely as a kind of relish in a sandwich!

Waitrose BLT salad with avocado and new potatoes

A nice recipe that does what it says on the tin! BLT flavours are classic, and the potatoes give this a bit more substance for your evening meal. The shallots, garlic and vinegar add a nice zing of flavour and the avocado provide a rich creaminess. I struggled to plate mine with the same level of vibrant and order, but the flavours are classic and this is a quick and simple dinner packed full of veggies.
