Pan Fried Gurnard Fillets with Olive Oil, Caper, Tomato and Basil Sauce Recipe
We love to try the cheaper local fish and gurnard is one of them. I also think they are rather pretty with their red skin and whiskers. They are slightly thicker than a seabass fillet so need to be cooked evenly on both sides rather than mainly on skin side down like seabass. Its flavour…
Garlic and Lemon Roasted Red Cabbage with Halloumi Recipe
A whole red cabbage is always too much for just me and Paul and rather than have it raw twice, I wondered what it would be like baked as we recently had roasted broccoli in a salad which was a great success. The halloumi went really well with all of the flavours and the texture…
Healthier and Light Brown Sugar Farmhouse Sultana Loaf Cake Recipe
I’m not keen on using white sugar as I prefer to use the brown unrefined raw cane sugars. This cake was really yummy and is very light. It also tastes like a famous Mr beginning with K’s farmhouse cake but of course with no preservatives and healthier better quality ingredients. Delicious with a nice cup…

Why is it healthy? A few reasons, firstly this recipe uses rapeseed oil to make the mayo, secondly the chicken and croutons are baked in the oven and not fried and finally it is completely egg free which makes it much lighter. We really enjoyed this salad and I would make it again for sure….

Hot Roasted and Smoked Potted Salmon Recipe
So our local smokery has recently started offering potted hot roasted smoked salmon. When we had our monthly visit there they had sold out in the shop but not in the cafe, as we hadn’t had lunch we thought we would eat n the cafe so I could try it. I hate to sound big…

The brisket really takes on the spice blend flavours and I don’t think I have ever had brisket so succulent it just melts in your mouth.

Soya and Cannellini Bean Salad with Salami and Mint Recipe
Frozen Soya Beans are so handy to have to add to salads. Unlike broad beans you don’t have to worry about peeling off the shells. We also always keep tinned pulses in the cupboard as well. The mint was from our garden and the salami was left overs too. This salad is crunchy fresh and…

Got some leftover stale bread? Make your own crouton’s. The texture of these crunchy little morsels are so much nicer and so much less greasy than the shop kind. It is so good knowing I used all of my wholemeal bread (recipe here) with no wastage. The Coppa Ham melted in my mouth but that…
Puy Lentil, Pickled Carrot and Chorizo Salad with a Wholegrain Mustard Dressing Recipe
Get ready for the week ahead with a nice healthy fibrous salad. I can’t rave about pickled carrots enough, they have lasted weeks and the flavour gets a little more spicy from the ginger and garlic the longer they pickle. I love lentils and the health benefits you get from them, but they do need…
