Centre-Cut Iceberg Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
If you are looking for salad that is cool, crisp and totally delicious, try this recipe of an old time classic Centre-Cut Iceberg Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing. As a Chef, I prefer to make my own Blue Cheese dressing or to keep things simple you could purchase some freshly made Blue Cheese Dressing from The Porterhouse. This is a super-easy salad to prepare and our catering clients absolutely love it.

Sicilian Sausage Pasta with Capers, Olives & Feta
A really gutsy pasta dish for lovers of strong flavours. If you don't like spicy sausage you can substitute Italian Sausages. Note the recipe doesn't use any salt - you don't need it with the capers, olives and Feta, all of which ass their own saltiness to the dish.

Wild West Ribeye Steaks
Everyone has heard of the Ribeye Steak; although whilst I was working with Morton's the Steakhouse, most people would order Sirloin/New York Strip rather than these super delicious cuts. The Ribeye Steak is cut from the Prime Rib which which is a rich tasting piece of beef. Ribeye Steaks should be well marbled (those small little specs of fat in the meat) and there may be a nugget of fat embedded in the Steak. Apply this simple Wild West rub into the Ribeye Steak for a truly wonderful Ribeye Steak experience

Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms
This is a classic dish that goes great with Steak. It’s my all-time favourite. When I make it at home, I don’t always blanch the spinach first but instead add it raw to the pan and cook it that way. For the best results, I suggest you blanch it, especially if you want to do some of the prep work ahead of time. Be sure to squeeze out as much moisture as you possibly can; otherwise the final dish will be a little watery.

Mashed Potatoes
These are so good because they are so easy to make. Potatoes, butter, heavy cream, sour cream and salt and pepper.

Farmhouse Roasted Chicken
To make a delicious Roast chicken, I prepare a day ahead and let the chicken marinate for a day before cooking. To make the bird really juicy with a crispy skin, I rub the chickens with olive oil, butter, herbs and wrapped them with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. I prefer the flavour of Organic Chickens and so will you.
