Feta is a healthy option for a salad, I really fancied doing something different with it and thought I would have a go of baking it. I love the new texture the feta has, it’s warm, fluffy and slightly gooey but still holds it shape. The honey works so well I’ve had it in a…

Smoked Haddock and Leek Arancini with Tomato Sauce and Crispy Capers
This is such a good way to use up leftover rice. I made the risotto myself as I couldn’t wait to try this out. I got the idea from a tapas restaurant we went to, one of the dishes we ordered was the cod arancini they were delicious but I thought the cod got lost…
Chicken and Pea Aubergine Green Thai Curry
We went to our big Chinese supermarket to stock up on asian essentials while we were there we saw these pea aubergines. The only place we have ever tried them is in bali and they served them in a red Indonesian duck curry. They have quite a slightly bitter citrus flavour. This curry is simple,…
Open Rueben Sandwich and Pickles
If I buy a sandwich from the supermarket I always go for the pastrami deli, smoked salmon and cream cheese or egg mayo. My butcher made his own salt beef ready for boiling at Christmas time. We had it at crimbo but as it was a big bit I put half of the cooked meat…
Fresh Crab and Asparagus Risotto
As I originally come from Torquay I have always liked crab as we had the famous brixham crab. Luckily up here in the southeast they have really good fish and shellfish so I’m still enjoying it. I’m funny with food as I go off an ingredient have a break and then like it again, asparagus…
Prosciutto Wrapped Oozy Saganaki on a Broad Bean and Preserved Lemon Salad
I love saganaki as it is as oozy as mozzarella but has so much more flavour. I thought I’d pimp up by wrapping it in prosciutto. It goes well with the fresh, sweet and zingy salad. If your looking for saganaki I got mine from Waitrose and it was in the halloumi and feta area….

This recipe is quick, healthy and tastes delicious. Perfect for w weekday dinner. Ingredients (serves 2) 1/2 packet of gnocchi (175g) Knob of butter 1 banana shallot,…
Hot Smoked Salmon and Avocado with Parsley and Mint Pesto Jersey Royal Potato Salad
This is such a good time of year for produce some of my favourites are asparagus, wild garlic and of course the first harvest of jersey royals. Jersey royals are creamy, buttery but still nice and firm so what better way to eat them other than warm (these were my leftovers from another dinner) in…
End of Season Game, Ale and Mushroom Pie
So the game season has finished and I still had some knocking around in the freezer. I had some pheasant breasts, venison and a rabbit so I decided to cut off the meat and chuck them altogether in a pie. It was delicious and a nice nod to the end of the season until it…
Foraged Wild Garlic and Cheese Scones
I love the wild garlic season, this year I have made pesto and butter for the freezer as well as dumplings in a beef stew. I was a little nervous about trying to make scones as the last time I had a go they didn’t rise at all and were as hard as rocks. Actually…
