It’s really cold here at the moment so I fancied something warming and comforting. I opted for this soup. I didn’t have a potato or cream and I had read in a food article that you can use cashew nuts as an alternative thickener. I wish I had tried this before the nuts gave it…

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…
Hen of the Woods Mushroom Soup
So many variates of mushrooms are now available to everyone, whether you get them from a farm shop or order them online. I was recently back home in Devon and there is a farm shop that specialises in growing mushrooms. It’s great as where they grow them they have windows and information about them so…
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…
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 Spiced Squash with Harissa Yoghurt
I got this idea from a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe I saw on Saturday kitchen. I love his recipes they have soooo much flavour. Middle Eastern flavours are so delicious. My friend is Israeli and she goes home with her kids for the summer, I get so jealous of her foodie pics they make me drool…

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…
Chickpeas, Couscous and Spinach
Meatless Monday today. As we are more informed these days about meat I try to have at least one vegetarian and fish meal a week (doesn’t always happen) but I’ve managed it today. Chickpeas are such a good staple and thankfully nice and filling a great alternative to potatoes. They also carry on flavours so…
Chargrilled Courgettes and Borlotti Bean Salad with a Tahini Dressing
Sometimes a veggie healthy salad hits the spot. Anything chargrilled tastes good with that smokey flavour and the lovely crunchy bits. Borlotti beans are so creamy and add abit of colour. I also think trying different pulses are great but I can’t be bothered to soak raw pulses as they are in every supermarket in…
Courgette, Pea and Spinach Soup

Tomato baked Gnocchi with Parsley and Sun Dried Tomato Breadcrumbs
Sometimes it’s so nice to have comforting and familiar flavours. That’s exactly what this does it makes you want to curl up even though it’s summer. I love the contrast of all the different textures of the humble tomato, tinned and fresh in the sauce then dried in the breadcrumbs. Then you’ve got the added…
Roasted Mushroom and Tomato Salad with a Balsamic Vinegar Dressing
Sometimes it’s nice to have a vegetarian day. I usually pan fry my mushrooms but I decided to give it a go at roasting them as I was roasting my tomatoes anyway. They were yummy. Balsamic vinegar and tomatoes are a match made in heaven and it worked with the mushrooms just as good. This…
Feta, Olive and Tomato Salad with a Herb and Lemon Dressing
I got some really good quality feta cheese and olives from a farmer’s market so I wanted to use them in a simple way. The dressing matches the flavours perfectly. I didn’t toss the feta or olives in the dressing as I wanted to keep their flavour fresh. All the other ingredients really complimented everything….
