- Pour the sauce over the grilled pork chops and serve straight away with a fluffy mound of mashed potato.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
