I love frittata as you can really chuck anything into it and it doesn’t need many ingredients. It’s a bit more substantial and fluffier than an omelette. I decided to go for Mediterranean flavours that work really well together. You get sweetness from the potato, saltiness from the feta and a spicy kick from the…

Halloumi and Lentil Salad with a Sweet Chilli Dressing
Halloumi takes on flavours really well and the Thai sweet chilli sauce adds such a nice flavour against the salty, creamy halloumi and earthy lentils. I always replace a block as it’s a quick healthy chuck together lunch. The other thing I keep in the cupboard is a box of puy lentils. I have learnt…
Whole Wheat Tuna Pasta Salad with Oregano, Capers and a Lemon Dressing
When I first started making salads for work and lunch, pasta and tuna were one of the first I learned. Back then I didn’t know what a caper was whereas now I love them and we got through a jar every couple of weeks. I think tuna and pasta are such a comforting combination I…
Healthy Sausage, Fennel and Salsify Tray Bake
I love a one pan dish as it makes for a quick easy mid week dinner. Sausages make a great dinner. Instead of salsify you could use new potatoes. The mustard sauce goes so well with the aniseed from the fennel. You could chuck anything into this really I just used what I had at…
John Dory Fillets with a Caper and Lemon Sauce and Stir Fried Kale with Pancetta
I love going to the fishmonger and buying local fish as your not sure what you are going to get or what is in season. So on this visit they had some stunning John Dory. It is quite a distinctive looking fish with its sail fins and black dot (I’m sure there is a religious…
Greek Quesadillas – Stuffed with Feta, Spinach and Sun-dried Tomatoes
So we had pulled lamb wraps and I had some left over tortillas. I wanted to use them up so thought I would have a go at stuffing them and frying them like the Greeks do. The result was delicious the outside was nice and crispy and the inside was warm, soft and full of…
Roasted Beetroot and Goats Cheese Salad with a Honey and Thyme Dressing
So as spring is upon us I thought I’d make the most of the winter salads. Roasting beetroot is my favourite way of eating it, piercing the skin means the garlic and thyme flavours really penetrate the flesh. As the beetroot is so earthy the creamy goats cheese and the sweet dressing work so well…
Smoked Salmon and Fennel Salad with a Preserved Lemon, Sultana and Olive Salsa
As it’s Easter bank holiday I fancied a treat so opted for smoked salmon I didn’t want anything heavy as I have been eating lots of chocolate, to keep it healthy and to add some texture I opted for fennel. As it’s Easter I thought I would pimp it up by making a salsa which…
Gammon Steaks with Leek and Celeriac Mash and Apple Sauce
When we had a buy up from the Devon butcher he had some delicious gammon steaks that I couldn’t resist. I forgot how much I like gammon steaks and haven’t had them for years. They are such a pub classic that I didn’t want to go down the egg and chip route so I searched…
Leftover Sausage and Sun Dried Tomato Salad with Parmesan Croutons and a Brown Sauce Dressing
So we had a couple of sausages leftover from dinner one night and a stub of sourdough so I thought I would make a salad. It worked really well and had a really comforting flavour. The crunch from the croutons really finish off. It kind of tastes like a deconstructed breakfast. I really loved the…
Roasted Squash and Fennel Salad with Blue Cheese and an Almond and Lemon Dressing
I love roasting squash and fennel as it really brings out their sweet notes. I leave the skin on my butternut squash to add in extra fibre and nutrients. The blue cheese adds a nice acidity and goes well with the sweet squash flesh. The dressing is nice and creamy, the preserved lemon really packs…
Quick and Healthy Asian Baked Gurnard with Steamed Baby Pak Choi
After a long weekend in Devon where we ate lots of cream and carbs we are back on the health kick. I love gurnard as it is a cheap fish and can be really meaty which makes it more filling. Baking fish en papillote works so well with asian flavours and the flavour of the…
Roasted Carrot, Feta and Orange Salad with a Tahini Dressing
I adore carrots this time of year and roasting them is one of my favourite things. Something magical happens when carrots and cumin combine their flavours. The fresh citrus flavour from the orange and coolness from the tahini makes this salad really special. The textures are really nice too and the caramelisation on the carrots…
Crispy Saganaki on a Bed of Roasted Vegetable Whole Wheat Couscous Recipe
Happy new year everyone, I hope you had a great festive season. So I’m at that stage where I fancy food that isn’t too rich. Couscous is always a nice light lunch and saganaki isn’t a rich cheese either it’s the greek version of halloumi. I like to roast vegetables like peppers and the sweet…
Smoked Garlic Olive Tapenade Recipe
I love bread and butter but I fancied something with a bit more flavour. Earlier in the year we went to Lake Garda in Italy and I bought a few vacuum packs of olives. As I had only got round to using one so far I thought it is about time to use up the…
