We have a lovely local pub called the coach and horses near danehill, it has a beautiful garden and really good food. Opposite the pub car park there is a cottage that sells their excess flowers, eggs and vegetables in a little hut. I get so excited to see what they have in the past…

Lemon and Coriander Hummus with Easy Wholemeal Flatbreads Recipe
When I first made my own hummus I couldn’t believe how easy it was, so now I am going to try different flavour combinations like this one. I have always wanted to have a go at making my own flat breads, I kept reading how easy they are to make and it was! I saw…
Honey and Mustard Roast Chicken Breast Salad with Avocado Recipe
So we are back from our holiday and although I enjoyed the food in the Seychelles I am also looking forward to eating our own lunches and dinners again. This recipe is a combination of 2 that I found online. I have never brined chicken before cooking and the blogger who described it made me…
Fresh Mint Bulgar and Quinoa Edamame Salad with Smoked Salmon Recipe
I like the whole meatless Monday concept and wanted to start the week off with something healthy. So Bulgur wheat and Quinoa was another addition we had to make to our diets to keep Paulie healthy and this was my 1st attempt, we actually really enjoyed it. It has more texture than Couscous but is…
Salt Beef with Homepickled Fennel and Baby Salad Leaves
As it is Sunday and grey we decided to have a nice big roast tonight, so for lunch we wanted something light. We are lucky to live near the weald smokery which sell lot’s of yummy smoked meat and fish. Today we had the salt beef with our homepickled fennel (recipe) it was delicious, for…
Tuna and Tomato Salad Recipe
This is a very quick recipe and doesn’t require you to make a dressing as the olive oil coats and combines the tuna mixture. I am really enjoying our health kick at the moment and Paulie has lost 1/2 stone already just by cutting right down on carbs, fat and sugar intake! The tomatoes are…
Roasted Eggplant, Feta and Rocket Salad with a Lemon and Basil Vinaigrette Recipe
After a gloriously sunny weekend and a holiday coming up we are on our healthy mid-week kick again. I love feta as it is a low fat cheese but also has loads of flavour. The feta adds lovely creamy and salty notes to a salad. The roasted aubergine or eggplant was a revelation, I was…
Weald Smokery Venison with a Home Pickled Fennel and Tomato Salad
Sometimes simple is best! If you fancy having a go at pickling vegetables at home this is bar far the best I have tried so far. The fennel releases it’s beautiful aniseed flavour and the orange zest, star anise and pickling liquid really makes it stand out, I could probably eat a of bowl of…
Homemade Lemon and Coriander Crab Cakes Recipe
I have been wanting to try and make these for ages, I keep seeing tinned crab in Waitrose and finally bought a tin and had a go. We were not disappointed, homemade crab cakes are so much lighter and flavoursome as you can add ingredients to your own taste and they were so easy to…
Feta, Avocado and Rocket Salad with Lemon Dressing Recipe
Another tasty salad for lunch today from what we had the fridge. I love the saltiness of the feta, the creaminess of the avocado and the sharp hit of the lemon they all taste good in one bite. This took me 10 minutes to make and feta keeps in the fridge for ages so this…
Halloumi, Rocket and Pesto Butter Bean Salad Recipe
If you have read any of my previous post’s you will know that I made a batch of wild garlic pesto (recipe). Paulie and I have been finding ways to incorporate into our meals such as spreading it on cod with breadcrumbs (recipe), adding it to potato to make pesto gnocchi (recipe) or just having…
Ginger, Garlic and Spice Pickled Carrots Recipe
We love pickling vegetables for our salad’s as it adds so much flavour and keeps so well. This weekend we had a load of carrots left over from a bag we bought so thought we would try them pickled, as the fennel and cauliflower were so successful. I can never believe how simple and cheap…
Jersey Royals, Tuna and Rocket with Lemon, Caper and Marjoram Dressing Recipe
Jersey Royals are my favourite new potato of all time. It is only the start of the season and Paulie managed to get me a bag of decent sized Jersey Royals. We have them for dinner the other night and there were a few left over so I thought I would use them up in…
Warm Cavolo Nero, Bacon and Tomato Salad with Pine Nuts and Balsamic Dressing
My healthy take on a BLT. So as usual in the UK it is raining which has also dropped the warmer temperatures we have been having. On days like this I really fancy something warm so my immediate thought was a BLT sandwich but no, Paulie and I are being good so I looked in…
Healthy Noodle, Mung Bean, Raw Broccoli and Carrot Salad with a Ginger and Lime Satay Style Dressing Recipe
This recipe was inspired by a friend I visit sometimes on a Tuesday. We were talking about food and healthy living, my friend isn’t keen on lot’s of meat which gave me inspiration to try and add more veggie dishes into my diet that are healthy too. I am big on flavour so didn’t just…
