  1. MARRY ME MASH 🥔✨ Recipe below ⬇️ @cud_cooks x @robertwelchuk AD This is the ultimate recipe for luxurious mashed potato. Ultra-smooth, buttery, garlic-thyme infused, finished with white pepper and nutmeg. Make no mistake - this is pure indulgence, and it will make your guests so silent at the table. Marry Me Mash: Peel and cube 1kg Maris Piper potatoes. Add to cold salted water, bring to the boil, then simmer gently until completely tender. Drain and leave to steam dry for 20-30 minutes (this step is key for texture). Meanwhile, gently simmer 200ml whole milk and 200ml double cream with 4 chopped garlic cloves and 3-4 thyme sprigs for 30 minutes to infuse. Strain and keep warm. Pass the dried potatoes through a ricer, then fold through 150g melted butter. For extra smoothness, push through a fine mesh sieve. Add the warm infused cream one ladle at a time until silky and smooth but still holding its shape. Season with fine salt, white pepper and a small grating of nutmeg. Taste and adjust. Bonus recipe - Braised Short Rib (perfect with this mash): Season 3-4 large beef short ribs generously with salt and pepper and sear in a hot casserole pot with 1 tbsp oil until deeply browned. Remove. In the same pot soften 1 diced onion, 2 diced celery sticks and 2 diced carrots. Add 2 tbsp tomato purée, 3 sliced garlic cloves, 3 thyme sprigs and 2 bay leaves. Deglaze with 500ml red wine, reduce slightly, then add enough beef stock (around 750ml-1L) to fully submerge the ribs. Return the ribs, cover and cook at 130°C for 4 hours until spoon tender. Remove the ribs, strain and remove the fat from the sauce (use a separator jug if you have one). Pass through a fine sieve and then reduce it until glossy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Return the ribs to the sauce and baste. Silky mash. Sticky, rich beef. Absolute comfort food - elevated. #mash #potato #recipe #shortrib #cooking

  2. Beef Wellington & red wine jus 🍷🥩 @cudcooks x @robertwelchuk AD Here’s a favourite festive centerpiece: Beef Wellington! Perfect for Christmas, this version features a 1kg beef fillet, a rich chestnut and mushroom duxelles with a hint of truffle oil, and golden puff pastry topped with a thyme-studded lattice. It’s paired with a rich, silky red wine jus for an unforgettable main dish. This recipe is part of my partnership with @robertwelchuk, featuring their Professional Knives, Campden Low Casserole Pot, and Campden Saucepan range – ideal for perfecting each step. Full recipe below and link in bio! Prepare the beef: Sear a 1kg center-cut beef fillet in the Campden Low Casserole Pot until golden on all sides (1-2 min per side). Cool, then brush with mustard. Make the duxelles: In the same pot, cook 2 diced shallots in 30g butter and 2 tbsp truffle oil until softened. Add 500g finely chopped mushrooms, 100g finely chopped chestnuts, finely chopped thyme, rosemary and garlic. Cook until all moisture evaporates and cool. Spinach crepes: Blanch 100g spinach and refresh in ice water. Blend spinach with 150g milk, then whisk into 2 eggs and 100g plain flour. Cook 4 thin crepes in a non-stick pan and cool. Assemble: On cling film, lay the crepes flat, overlap with 8 slices of prosciutto, and spread duxelles to 0.5cm layer. Roll tightly around the beef using cling film, chill to set. Wrap the beef in puff pastry, add a lattice top (using a lattice cutter), and brush with egg wash. Garnish the gaps in the lattice with sprigs of thyme Bake: Bake at 200°C for 30 minutes. Rest for 15 minutes. Red wine jus: Roast 1kg beef bones, 2 marrow bones, 500g beef offcuts, and 4 shallots at 220°C until browned - around 30 mins. Add to a Campden Saucepan and add 500ml red wine, and bring to boil. Then add 1l water, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Simmer for 3-4 hours, strain, and reduce to a silky jus that coats a spoon. Season to taste. Slice the Wellington (1.5 inches), serve with jus, and enjoy this show-stopping dish! #beefwellington #cooking #christmas #recipe #beef #steak #instafood #foodtok #homemade #dinner
