I’m a home cook, husband and dad of three who’s been pottering around the kitchen for over 50 years.

What started with my mum’s Sunday roasts has grown into a love for flavours from all over the world, from Indian curries to Dutch biscuits and everything in between.

Here at Gav’s Kitchen, I share simple, tasty recipes made for real families with real appetites.

I’ve made this sauce loads of times, it’s gorgeous. I do mine with some unsmoked haddock, roasted garlic mini potatoes and peas. It’s a big favourite in our house! – Maggie

I was on the hunt for a quick bread recipe (to go with the soup already heating on the hob!). This worked out perfectly. Will try some of the variations you suggest. – Colette

Great easy recipe! I usually at the very LEAST quadruple the sauce recipe because everyone loves it so much and it finds its way on other food on the plate. – Billy
