Welcome to TaylorMade - recipes we love, tailored to our taste and budget.  Not fancy, just tasty.

A recipe going viral on Tik Tok and I can fully understand why. So juicy and tender. My sauce was too runny which I think is because I didn't heed the word 'whip' enough on the initial mix. I'm guessing that's why it's whipping cream and not double, I thought it was just a US quirk. Ingredients 1 whole spatchcock chicken 1 tbsp sea salt for the chicken 1 tsp of sea salt for the sauce 1/2 tsp olive oil 1.5 tbsp whole peppercorns 1 tsp finely chopped rosemary 5 garlic cloves

Ingredients 200g Pasta 1 Shallot, finely chopped 6 Garlic Cloves, minced, divided into 2 ½ cup Dry White Wine 3 tbsp Creme Fraiche 100g Stilton, crumbled 12 Sage Leaves, chopped ¼ cup Panko Breadcrumbs 50g Butter, divided in 2 Method Cook the pasta until al dente. Breadcrumbs Heat a pan over a medium heat, add half of the butter and when it begins to foam add half of the garlic and all sage leaves and cook for 60 seconds. Pour the breadcrumbs into and cook until golden, sti

I made this because it's what ingredients we had in the fridge. Wish I'd had more broccoli as it added the fresh crunch needed. It needs a full head or pack of tenderstem. Ingredients 4 chicken breasts, cubed 1 onion, finely chopped 3 garlic cloves, crushed 1 head of broccoli florets ½ cup chicken stock ¾ cup cream ½ cup parmesan, grated 1-2 tbsp lemon juice Salt & pepper to taste 1 pack gnocchi Instructions Cook the gnocci according to instructions.

Great take on a favourite side. I put too much cheese on (if there is such a thing) so have reduced for the recipe. Ingredients Asparagus bunch, trimmed 1 tsp olive oil Pinch of salt & pepper 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 3 tbsp butter 1 tbsp garlic, minced ¼ cup grated parmesan Method Put asparagus in casserole dish and drizzle a little oil, salt and pepper. 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup panko breadcrumb

I love a carbonara so this meat free creamy sauce is right up my street. I've tried a few vairation and I like the consistancy on this recipe. Simple but satisfying. Ingredients Salt 2 tbsp butter 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped 1 ½ cups double cream 1 large egg yolk 450g fresh fettuccine 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Freshly ground pepper to taste Method Cook the pasta to al dente. Melt the butter in a large, deep pan over medium-high heat. Add the ga

A comforting creamy pasta. Not for this recipe is I've not added salt on purpose. Boursin, stock and bacon are fairly salty so no extra needed (and it actually spoils the dish). Ingredients 250g Broccoli, sliced into small bite-sized pieces 1 tbsp Olive Oil 1/4 tsp Black Pepper 150g Streaky Bacon or guanciale, diced 2 small Shallots, finely diced 180ml Chicken Stock 150g block of Garlic & Herb Boursin Cheese, leave at room temp 60ml Single Cream 1/4 cup freshly grated Parm

Picking the sprout quest back up. Excellent side dish although of the cheesy sides I still prefer cheesy leeks. That said as AT loves sprouts and I must make them, this is a good way. Ingredients 500g Brussels sprouts halved lengthwise 1 tbsp olive oil Salt and black pepper to taste 2/3 cup double cream 1/4 tsp onion powder 1 1/3 cups cheddar grated, divided 1/4 cup parmesan grated Method Preheat the oven to 180C. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray. Toss the sprouts, o

A really easy cheat's version of Million Dollar Spaghetti using jars. We can't always be making things from scratch or spending a month's salary on cheese. Still very delicious. Once again I forgot to take a picture after cooking but will replace next time I make it. Ingredients 1 pack mild Italian sausage, casing removed 500g rigatoni 1 jar Alfredo sauce (I used mac & cheese sauce as the closest I could find) 1 jar tomato basil pasta sauce 1 tbsp minced garlic 1 tbsp dri

I like a steak seasoning to match the rest of the dish so if serving with something like rice and broccoli this is a good one. Ingredients ½ tsp black peppercorns 2 cloves garlic 2 tsp soy sauce 1 ½ tbsp oyster sauce 2 tsp sugar 1 tbsp lime juice 2 tbsp vegetable oil Method Grind the peppercorns with a pestle and mortar into a powder. Add the garlic and mix into a fine paste. Add all remaining marinade ingredients and stir to mix well. Place in a bowl or bag with the s

Something a bit different. Since I recently changed my mind and embraced pineapple on pizza this recipe appealed. It's kind of sweet, the soy is prominent. I served with chicken wings because who doesn't like double chicken? Will definitely make again. Ingredients 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup soy sauce 1 tsp garlic, minced 3/4 cup chicken stock 1 1/2 cups white rice, uncooked 1/2 cup red onion, diced 1 red pepper, chopped 1 can pineapple in juice, chopped, juices reserved
