I love feta salads in the summer but I really wanted to use it in a comforting winter salad. I tried feta and honey in a tapas restaurant, they served their feta stuffed in Courgette flowers and then fried it was delicious. This recipe is just as nice. It is so comforting all the flavours…

Bacon, Brussel Sprout and Quinoa Salad with a Harissa and Orange Dressing
I am firmly in the sprout camp and eating them raw in a salad is delicious. Luckily this year they are still available in my local farm shop so I am making the most of it. All the flavours in this salad work so well together. You get earthiness from the grains, crunch from the…
Pan Fried Gurnard on a Fennel and Parmesan Gratin
Keeping the healthy new year kick going I’m trying to cut out some of my carb intake. If you like liquorice or better still a shot of Pernod then you’ll love fennel as it have a lovely aniseed flavour. I always think Gurnard are such a pretty fish as they are red with yellow and…
Haggis Salad with a Runny Egg and Mustard Dressing
I’m not Scottish but as it is burn’s night and my local farm shop had an array of haggis goods for sale I thought I would give it a go. I’m from Devon and love hogs pudding so I guessed I should like it. Unlike hogs pudding which uses pig meat, haggis uses lamb organs…
Spiced Duck Breast with a Soy Sauce, Honey and Ginger Sauce
Happy new year let’s hope 2019 is good to us. Over Christmas I really did eat what I wanted so I’m ready for some healthy food. I had an urge for some Asian flavours but something really simple. This duck dish worked perfectly with the spiced crispy skin. I had broccoli with mine which worked…
Smoked Trout, Griddled Corn and Avocado Deconstructed Taco’s with a Blue Cheese Ranch Dressing
I haven’t tried making my own ranch dressing before but I wouldn’t go back now I have. It is creamy full of flavour and it has a subtle kick at the end. I had some left over. Tortilla wraps and have made chips with them before (recipe here) so I thought I’d have a go…

Chicken, Leek, Spinach and Mushroom Gnocchi Bake
I love these sort of recipes for during the week. I found it quite hard to fine a recipe without using cream to keep it low fat but I used a recipe from the body coach to guide me. The result is a comforting delicious dinner. I used what I had in the fridge which…
Roasted Cauliflower, Chorizo and Currant Salad with an Orange and Za’atar Dressing and Cobnuts
The roasted cauliflower, spicy chorizo and sweet orange flavours work so well in this salad. Cauliflower is so versatile and there are lots of different ways of using it. Roasting it is very comforting and adds a whole new flavour and texture. Soaking the currants in orange juice adds a really nice flavour. The cobnuts…
Ham, Black Eyed Bean and Marinated Tomato Salad
As the autumn is in full swing the tomatoes this time of year aren’t at their best so marinating them really maximises their sweetness and it doubles up as a dressing. Pulses are so good for you and now you can buy them in tins they are really easy to drain and chuck into salads….
End of Summer Chicken, Chorizo, Courgette and Tomato One Pot
We have been so lucky with our late summer vegetables this year. The tomatoes aren’t as sweet as the height of summer so they work really well being cooked. This is a light tasty one pot dinner using up the last bits of summer vegetables. The chorizo adds a really nice smokiness and meaty flavour….
Smoked Salmon on a Pea and Preserved Lemon Couscous Salad with Crispy Capers

Leftover Roast Lamb, Aubergine and Parmesan Bake
Lamb roast has to be one of my favourite dinners, but I don’t like the leftovers cold and I hate wasting food. I also like a parmigiana and thought lamb goes really well with aubergine. This recipe is really yummy and great way to use up leftovers. Ingredients 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped 1…
Homemade Tomato Sauce and Cheese Nachos
As the summer was late and hot this year I still have some tomatoes left. They aren’t as sweet as they are in the height of summer so cooking them is a good idea. I had some tortilla wraps left over from my work lunches so decided to have a go at my my own…
Lime, Poppyseed and Honey Chicken Salad with Roasted Fennel Carrots
As it has been summer in the UK I have been really bad as I haven’t posted for ages, if it’s sunny on the weekend I skip any housework and head off down the coast so if there is a cloudy day I have to catch up with my mundane chores. It is getting much…
