As snowdrops are flowering and daffodils are starting to shoot. I decided to make myself a nice zingy and light salad. I always associate courgettes with summer so thought I would use them to give myself hope that winter will be over soon. This definitely reminded me of summer and holidays. It was yummy and…

Tandoori Chicken Salad with a Mango Dressing
I love tandoori chicken and poppadoms with the yummy chutneys, the mango is my favourite. So to get an Indian hit I thought I would turn it into a salad. Rather doing a whole leg of chicken, I changed it to chunks. For the poppadom element I used flaked almonds and finally for the mango…
BLT Salad with Pecans and a Mustard Dressing
I love bacon, lettuce and tomato. As it’s winter I decided to use sun dried tomatoes instead of fresh and added some pecans for some crunch. It’s a slightly odd combination but was very yummy none the less. The mustard dressing made it nice and zingy. Ingredients (serves 2) For the Salad For the Dressing…
Feta, Beetroot, Watercress and Avocado Salad with a Balsamic Dressing
So when Paulie goes into London for meetings he always swings by borough market to get me some goodies. He knows me so well no flowers for me but lovely culinary delights or an unusual ingredient I haven’t used before is the way to my heart. One of the amazing things in the market are…
Marinated Tofu and Kale Noodle Salad with a Miso and Peanut Dressing
Tofu can be great or awful. As long as it’s marinated right, it can be delicious I also like mine to have a nice texture. The air fryer works perfectly as it gives the tofu a crispy texture. I can eat peanut butter in any format but as we go to Asia quite often, satay…
Mediterranean Halloumi Salad and Herb Dressing
I love dried herbs they add flavour to anything. My favourites are oregano, thyme and rosemary. When I was in Greece they served a salad dressing like this over their feta Greek salad. I used halloumi in mine but I tried to recreate the dressing and it was yummy. Ingredients (serves 2) For the Salad…
Chorizo on Middle Eastern Pomegranate Molasses Haricot Beans
I love Middle Eastern flavours. I was tidying up my store cupboard and at the back was half a bottle of pomegranate molasses, I was determined to use it in something so this salad was born. My friend is Israeli and she brought me back some Zaatar that her family had made. It’s delicious and…
Roasted Squash and Pasta Salad with Sage and Blue Cheese Pesto
This is a great combination of flavours so apt for this time of year. It is also easy to make as I cooked the squash in my air fryer so saved money as it uses so much less electricity than the oven, we all are feeling the pinch at the moment with the recession around…
Cumin Beetroot and Lentil Salad with a Harissa and Orange Dressing
Lightly spiced beetroot on earthy lentils all topped off with a zingy and spicy fragrant dressing. I love summer but I also love this time of year with comforting food and warming spices. This is a yummy Middle Eastern flavoured salad all the flavours are already married together and are well tested and enjoyed. Ingredients…
Hoisin and Soy Sauce Tempeh Noodle Salad
It’s time for some tempeh again. I went down the Asian route again as I love it so much as the tempeh really soaks up the yummy flavours. Next time I’m going to go down a different route I think. I always keep a bag of edamame beans in the freezer and just rinse them…
Roasted Vegetables on Couscous with a Zaatar Dressing
This is an easy dish as I just bought some prepared mixed vegetables from the supermarket and put them in the oven. Couscous is easy to make too. I love couscous and Zaatar together it tastes so exotic and the flavours are so layered. This is just a yummy dish packed full of flavours. Ingredients…
Mushrooms stuffed with Spinach topped with Parmesan Breadcrumb’s and a Poached Egg
Nowadays brunch is another level, it’s become sexy and sophisticated. Most people think it originates from the US but it actually started in the Uk in the 1800’s probably because they were so hungover they didn’t manage to get to the elaborate servings of breakfast I’m sure the servants were happy 😂 These days we…
Warm Leftover Beef and Roast Potato Salad with Horseradish and Mustard
I hate wasting food so I wanted to use up my Sunday roast leftovers. I’ve only ever put leftover new potatoes in a salad but I thought why not roast potatoes. I’m not keen on them cold so zapping them in the microwave for a minute worked perfectly making it a nice warm salad. The…
Smoked Trout on an Edamame Bean Salad topped with a Preserved Lemon and Caper Salsa
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…
Charred BLT Salad with Garlic Mayo
Bacon, lettuce and tomato … yes please! BLT flavours are so comforting and familiar. I really fancied jazzing it up into something different. This recipe is actually quite easy. I always chuck any leftover bread in my air fryer as it’s so simple. This has everything, salty pancetta, sweet tomatoes, Smokey lettuce and a creamy…
