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…

Black Bean Salsa with Ham and Parmesan Corn on the Cob
I love Mexican bean salads, it’s a good way to use up spring onion tops and any herbs you have. I have tried to just grill corn on cob but it’s never tender enough so I use chef mic to tenderise them first. I recently watched a food myth programme and they tested steaming veg,…
Marinated Seared Steak on a Pea, Sweetcorn and Herb Buckwheat Noodle Salad with a Black Bean Dressing
I love Asian salads and recently discovered fermented chilli black beans. They are so yummy, when I went to the Chinese supermarket I noticed them amongst all the other jars of sauces and Asian ingredients. When I go next time I am going to spend more time looking at all the jars to see if…
Breakfast Salad – Polenta Cakes with Black Pudding and Roasted Balsamic Tomatoes with a Brown Sauce Dressing Recipe
This was so tasty and made a nice change from a fry up. I tried to make polenta before by adding loads of butter and parmesan, I honestly didn’t think it was worth the calories.

Spiced Roast Squash and Parma Ham Salad with a Thyme and Balsamic Dressing Recipe

Prawn Noodle Salad with a Sweet Chilli Dressing Recipe
This is a great fresh, zingy, tasty salad. I love how fresh and healthy asian salads are. You can really use whatever you have in the fridge, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers and onions etc. I’m not a fan of raw onion in a salad as it repeats on me a bit so I use radish instead….
Fresh and Zingy Prawn Noodle Salad with a Soy Sauce and Lime Dressing Recipe
So as we have been eating a lot of christmas flavours recently I fancied something fresh and healthy but not too spicy. This worked a treat it is zingy and refreshing. It is so easy to keep a bag of soya beans in the freezer and grab a handful as and when you want to…
Prawn Noodle and Vegetable Salad with an Asian Peanut Dressing Recipe
This salad is so colourful and tasty! If you read my last lunch post you will know that I had half a cabbage to use up so I thought we would have an asian salad as we bought some reduced prawns and sprouts from the supermarket. Paul loved this dish but that’s not surprising as…
