Coleslaw
The perfect accompaniment for barbecued meat, burgers & pulled pork. I prefer to make it the night before so that the cabbage has time to soften & absorb the flavours. 4-6 Servings Ingredients: 1/2 cabbage, finely sliced 2 carrots, peeled & grated 4 tbsp mayonnaise Juice of 1/2 lemon 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar S&P Instructions: Simply combine all ingredients in a bowl. Toss well & refrigerate until serving.

Pulled Pork
Is there anything better than pulled pork? Even without a smoker, pulled pork can be easily achieved with just an oven. Overnight marinade is key, as is the long cooking process on low heat. The result is simply astounding. The pork is so soft that it falls apart in strands. This meat is amazing in a burger with BBQ sauce or topped with mash & grated cheese as a variation of cottage pie. It couples beautifully with coleslaw, the recipe for which I will post separately. 6 Serv

Creamy Tuna
This is a dish close to my heart that I have often called 'poverty tuna'. Having been raised in a large family, money was often tight and meals such as this one were on the menu regularly. I learnt to cook it from a young age and not only is it cheap to make; it can be stretched by simply making more sauce; a definite plus when there are a dozen mouths to feed! 4 Servings Ingredients: 75gr butter 75gr flour 90cl milk S&P 2 tins of tuna 100gr tinned corn or peas Instructions:
