I really like leftover lamb as it has loads of flavour and can be turned into anything like a shepherd’s pie right through to a spicy curry. This one was nice and easy and we had a dinner and another one is in the freezer. I really like to add marmite to dark stews in…
Tenderising Pork Brine
This is the equivalent to buttermilk chicken. I always think pork chops can be a little bit stringy and slightly chewy. I don’t like eating pork pink so this is such a good way to keep the pork nice and moist without worrying about cooking it too much. You can put any aromatics in it….
Smoked Salmon Pasta with a Caper, Lemon and Parsley Sauce
This is such a great dinner when your tired and just want something tasty and quick. The sauce is great and skinny as you don’t use milk or cream. The flavours are classic, I am so partial to a bit of 80’s parsley sauce and just spruced it up. Ingredients Directions
Cumin Beetroot and Lentil Salad with a Harissa and Orange Dressing
Lightly spiced beetroot on earthy lentils all topped off with a zingy and spicy fragrant dressing. I love summer but I also love this time of year with comforting food and warming spices. This is a yummy Middle Eastern flavoured salad all the flavours are already married together and are well tested and enjoyed. Ingredients…
Curried Parsnip Soup with Parsnip Crisps
Soup glorious soup. So today it is raining very heavily and I had my flu jab yesterday so I’m feeling a bit achey. To make everything better I made myself a delicious bowl of spicy comforting soup. Parsnips make any soup seem really creamy, silky and smooth. The spices in this are delicious, so warming…
Cottage Pie with a Cauliflower Mash Topping
As a child cottage pie was my favourite dinner apart from roast lamb. I wanted to spruce it up a bit so I added some wild mushrooms, fresh herbs and marmite. As cauliflower is in season now I decided to have a go at making mash, it worked a treat I actually preferred it on…
Hoisin and Soy Sauce Tempeh Noodle Salad
It’s time for some tempeh again. I went down the Asian route again as I love it so much as the tempeh really soaks up the yummy flavours. Next time I’m going to go down a different route I think. I always keep a bag of edamame beans in the freezer and just rinse them…
Herby Sausage Pizza
So I’m trying to empty the freezer and had some sausage meat and black pudding hanging around. I love black pudding and decided it would be nice on a pizza, you get pepperoni right, this is just our version. It was so yummy I did add some extra oregano as I have recently been to…
Roasted Spiced Squash with Harissa Yoghurt
I got this idea from a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe I saw on Saturday kitchen. I love his recipes they have soooo much flavour. Middle Eastern flavours are so delicious. My friend is Israeli and she goes home with her kids for the summer, I get so jealous of her foodie pics they make me drool…
Tuna and Sweetcorn Potato Skins
I love jacket potato as you can literally put anything on them. I love a certain brand of baked beans with cheese on top. (If they are good enough for our queen consort Camilla, they are good enough for me 😉) My hubby Paulie doesn’t like beans so I had to try something else. Tuna,…
Roasted Vegetables on Couscous with a Zaatar Dressing
This is an easy dish as I just bought some prepared mixed vegetables from the supermarket and put them in the oven. Couscous is easy to make too. I love couscous and Zaatar together it tastes so exotic and the flavours are so layered. This is just a yummy dish packed full of flavours. Ingredients…
Pork Chops, Sauteed Brussels Sprouts and Chestnuts with a Cider and Mustard Sauce
The much divided brussel sprouts are back in season! I love them as long as they aren’t over cooked like in my childhood. I eat them in all different formats, shaved raw in a salad, roasted, plain etc. This dish is a match made in heaven for me. Juicy pork chops with roasted fatty bits….
Mushrooms stuffed with Spinach topped with Parmesan Breadcrumb’s and a Poached Egg
Nowadays brunch is another level, it’s become sexy and sophisticated. Most people think it originates from the US but it actually started in the Uk in the 1800’s probably because they were so hungover they didn’t manage to get to the elaborate servings of breakfast I’m sure the servants were happy 😂 These days we…
Warm Leftover Beef and Roast Potato Salad with Horseradish and Mustard
I hate wasting food so I wanted to use up my Sunday roast leftovers. I’ve only ever put leftover new potatoes in a salad but I thought why not roast potatoes. I’m not keen on them cold so zapping them in the microwave for a minute worked perfectly making it a nice warm salad. The…
Chicken, Leek, Pea and Spinach Filo Pie
I have wanted to try a filo pie for ages as I recently came back from Greece and ate lots of spinach and feta spanakopita. I wanted to put a British spin on it so settled for chicken, peas, leeks and bacon with a nod to Greece, spinach. This was so comforting the filo pastry…
