I love smoked trout it’s abit more delicate than smoked salmon and most supermarkets stock it. I buy shelled edamame or soya beans already prepared and frozen so you can just grab a handful and rinse them under some warm water to defrost. I could eat capers with anything as the give a punch of…

Five Spice Pigeon Breast on a Asian Herb Salad tossed in a Hoisin Dressing
I’m starting to come to the end of my frozen game meat. As the pigeon breasts are quite small they make a really good salad. As the pigeon has a slightly strong flavour it can take on some spice. The soft flesh works so well with the crispy lettuce and herbs. The hoisin dressing finishes…
Simple Pesto Pasta Salad with Artichokes and Grated Egg
Where has this been all my life. I have had pasta and pesto together loads of times as it’s a great store cupboard dinner when your tired after work and can’t really be bothered to cook. I checked the other ingredients that needed using up and in the fridge I had a lonesome egg that…

Asian Marinated Tempeh on a Fresh Herb, Avocado and Kimchi Salad with a Peanut Dressing
As you can see from previous posts I absolutely love tempeh thanks to a little warung in Bali. You can marinade tempeh in any asian sauces as it just soaks up the flavours. It works perfectly with the fresh salad and pickled kimchi. I can have peanut sauce on anything this one is nice and…
Salt Beef Salad with Crispy Capers and a Three Mustard Dressing
If you look back at my posts you will see I made my own salt beef but you can just buy some. I always have different mustards in my cupboard. Beef and mustard is a classic combo, I couldn’t decide which one to use in the dressing so decided to mix all 3 it tasted…
Simple Tomato Carpaccio with Balsamic Vinegar, Olive Oil and Feta Cheese
Woo hoo sweet tomatoes have arrived. I was inspired by the dish when my hubby came home after being with a client at an Italian bistro. As the first question I ask him (before did you have a good day) is what did you have for lunch or dinner, he has got use to it…
Bacon, Jersey Royal and Rocket Salad with a Balsamic Dressing
Sometimes it’s nice to have a simple lunch and this salad does just that. It also uses up some leftover potatoes or you can just leave them out. It has a breakfast kinda vibe. I did my bacon and croutons in the air fryer (love my air fryer) but you can use the oven too….
Griddled Chorizo on a Pickled Fennel, Lentil and Tomato Salad
When I was out to lunch recently I had a dish which came with quick pickled cucumber and courgette salad, it was so delicious. I did this version using fennel as it holds up well to flavouring and I knew it wouldn’t get too soft. The pickling liquid isn’t too overpowering at all it actually…
Halloumi on a Green Salad of Shaved Asparagus, Avocado and Watercress topped with Homemade Fridge Pickles
This salad is so summery and seasonal. I normally fry the halloumi in a frying pan but for my photos I thought I would griddle it instead. As soon as I did I realised I would never pan fry it ever again. As the halloumi is slightly raised when cooking it completely removes the ‘squeak’…
Wild Garlic Pesto Tuna and Butter Bean Salad with Purple Sprouting Broccoli
Yep it’s another wild garlic pesto recipe from me. This time it’s a nice simple healthy salad. The butter beans and tuna work so well with the pesto. It’s also purple sprouting broccoli season and it’s so yummy raw and adds a lovely crunch. I think different textures in the salad makes it much more…

Hot Smoked Salmon and Bruised Cucumber on a Dill and Parsley Salad with a Mustard Dressing
I’m starting to get so excited with the local produce season that’s on its way. I have missed so many things but sweet tomatoes and baby cucumbers that are in season now taste so fresh and of course asparagus is coming up. I’m also trying to get more herbs in my diet so trying to…
Ploughman’s Salad with Croutons and a Piccalilli Dressing
Being british I love a good ploughman’s with a dollop of piccalilli or pickle. To cut down the calories I thought I would try it as a salad oh my word it is delicious I love the added crunch from the lettuce and cucumbers and the sweetness from the peas. The cheese added a welcome…
Simple Smoked Trout and Gherkin Salad with a Honey Mustard Dressing
I love this time of year as all the cured fish and meats are available and there are usually offers too. I love smoked trout as it is more delicate than salmon. Gherkins and smoked fish go so well together and you get a lovely sweetness from the honey mustard. Ingredients (serves 2) 100g pack…
