Trinchado

I love a good Trinchado. We used to go to the Portuguese Festival (Lusito Land) every year and the first thing I would do when we arrived, was sniff out a big fat bowl of steaming Trinchado and a crunchy roll to dip in that delicious sauce. It is no surprise then that Trinchado was one of the first things I taught myself to cook. I remember going onto the internet and looking over about 4 or 5 Trinchado recipes and looking at what ingredients all the recipes had in common and then I just made it up as i went along.

I've made Trinchado so many times since then and every time the recipe changes because I keep tasting the sauce and adding ingredients depending on my mood. I'm pretty sure I've completely deviated from what a traditional Trinchado should be but frankly my Trinchado is the shizz (amazingly delicious) and traditional or not it has become the best Trinchado on the planet in my opinion (modesty and all that).

Creamy Beef and Mushroom Pot Pie

My Dad and I have always been huge fans of a good old pot pie, especially a creamy chicken one. So the other day when I spied some leftover puff pastry in the freezer I couldn't help myself. I've never tried making anything other than a chicken pot pie before and this was deeeeeeelish. I will definitely be making this again.
