Feta Mint and Potato Salad with a Herb Mustard Dressing

As it is only me and paulie in the house (apart from 2 fur babies) if we have new potatoes for dinner we don’t eat a whole bag. I cook all of them and use them in salads. This salad was yummy and really summery. I love feta and mint together, the flavours work so…

Homemade Crispy Chilli Beef

So I love a good Chinese takeaway and I think crispy chillibeef along with char siu pork are my favorites. I decided to make my own and it was so delicious much better than the take away and I knew what exactly was in the sauce. As I served it straight away it was also…

Prawn Cocktail Salad

I don’t think there is anything better than this classic retro dish. It reminds me of my Sunday lunch at my nans. I oddly also had a really good one when I was india. I also think it has to be a crunchy lettuce can of like a Caesar salad. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions

Gammon Steaks with a Warm Potato and Broccoli Salad

I always think gammon is seen as a really old fashioned ingredient. It does remind me of my childhood particularly my nan. This potato salad is going to be such a go to it was so yummy and really simple to make. It has everything, its got a bit of crunch from the gherkins and…

Bacon and Sun Blushed Tomatoes on a Rocket, Parsley and Chive Salad

I am really enjoying chives in everything at the moment but particulary in salads. My other addidction this summer are sun blushed tomatoes, they are so delicious and juicy. A certain 4 lettered blue and yellow german supermarket sell the best ones in my opinion in their deli area. Air fryer bacon is also the…

Veggie Tiffin Box – Spiced Air fryer Crispy Okra and Cauliflower Curry

We were in Malaysia earlier in the year and before I go on holiday I like to see what souvenirs I can find (usually food related 😊) I saw online they also use tiffin boxes in Malaysia even though you usually associate them with India. It was so funny as they came up on my…

Fresh Crab, Pepper and Lemon Pappardelle with Parsley and Chive Breadcrumbs

So we finally had a sunny day so I grabbed the dogs and hubby and headed to the coast. We go to a dog friendly beach near us called Winchelsea. We don’t gert to go on all sunny days as we like it low tide. But today was just right. Its about 40 minutes away…

Herb and Walnut Crusted Pork Fillet with a Cream Cheese Sauce

This dish was so delicious and would be perfect for a dinner party. All the flavours work really well. As you are crusting the pork it kept it really moist. I’d usually do a mushroom sauce but fancied something different. I had some cream cheese in the fridge and thought it would just be the…

Halloumi and Orzo Salad with Herby Air Fryer Courgettes

This is a really nice fresh summery salad. I love frying the courgettes in the air fryer as it is so easy. I hadn’t tried orzo in a salad before and it worked really well. As it is smaller pasta it was really easy to stir through the herbs. This had a really meddetarian vibe…

Mediterranean Summer Vegetable Sausage Casserole

Sometimes you fancy doing something different with a sausage in the summer other then a BBQ. I love sausage casserole in the winter. I decided to make a summer version with lovely summery vegetables. The main flavour I wanted was lovely smokey sweet paprika and it worked a treat. This was light fresh healthy and…

Leftover Chicken Taco Salad with a Lime and Coriander Dressing and Crispy Strips

I had a massive Mexican craving and as I am always looking at other food blogs I saw one that had done a deconstructed taco and it looked delicious so I had to have a go at re creating one. It was delicious zingy from all the limes, fragrant coriander and fresh corn! I have…

Crustless Courgette, Cheese and Herb Quiche

I love making crustless quiches (its also a secret way to get eggs in my hubby!). You don’t need pastry and can literally chuck in anything you have knocking about. I used manouri cheese as that’s what I had but any cheese with work, feta, cheddar or even grated halloumi. I think it does need…

Air fryer Roasted Vegetable and Chorizo Moroccan Couscous

I love my air fryer, it is so versatile. It is also so healthy and I just chucked in the courgettes and peppers left them alone and they came out lovely and charred. Fruit with savoury food can sometimes be a bit like marmite, you either like it or hate it. This would make a…

Cod En Papillote with New Potatoes and Tomatoes

When I first started cooking en papillote was one the first fish dishes I tried as I felt comfortable with it as it was in a bag and cooked itself in the oven. It is so tasty and you can anything under the fish, fennel, vegetables rice etc. I am so glad I did it…

Skinny Baked Courgette Mac n Cheese

So I am getting creative using up my courgettes as they are bang in season. I then had a faint memory or a mac n cheese that was in one of my magazines so thought id give it a bash. It was delicious! The courgettes adds a bit of freshness. It also takes it to…
