The most Wellington of Wellington meals

This post is sponsored by Cuisine magazine. Thanks! Go buy a sub­scrip­tion.  We’re often full of  advice about places to go for a feed, because as Madonna said, every­one should exper­i­ence eat­ing out, but some­times some of us do like to stay at home and cook.
