The roasted cauliflower, spicy chorizo and sweet orange flavours work so well in this salad. Cauliflower is so versatile and there are lots of different ways of using it. Roasting it is very comforting and adds a whole new flavour and texture. Soaking the currants in orange juice adds a really nice flavour. The cobnuts…
Juicy Cod on Lentils with a Red Wine Sauce
I have seen fish with a red wine sauce and lentils when we’ve been holiday in France. I don’t think you can get more french than lentils and wine so I thought I would give it ago myself. Cod works so well in the dish as it is chunky and meaty. This dish is so…
Twice Cooked Sticky and Tender Chinese Pork Belly
What’s not to like about this recipe, soft tender pork meat it’s caramelised crispy fat bits and a delicious sauce that the rice can soak up. I’m not keen on the chewy skin on pork belly in Chinese recipes as it isn’t cooked like crispy crackling. Removing it still leaves a fat layer that you…
Ham, Black Eyed Bean and Marinated Tomato Salad
As the autumn is in full swing the tomatoes this time of year aren’t at their best so marinating them really maximises their sweetness and it doubles up as a dressing. Pulses are so good for you and now you can buy them in tins they are really easy to drain and chuck into salads….
Miso Sea Bass on Spring Onion, Ginger and Coriander Stir Fried Rice
I really enjoy trying new dishes and flavours. I have had some fails where the flavours don’t work or an Asian product I have bought which tastes really funky. Miso however is one of the ingredients that has stayed in the fridge. It has a subtle sweet, savoury and salty flavour. As it is so…
Sweet Potato and Parsnip Soup with Sage Grissini
So soup season has come back around. I really like soup as you can chuck in whatever you have left in the fridge. I had a couple of parsnips left over that were starting to go soft so I chucked them in too. I added in some curry powder and turmeric to stop it being…
Pot Roast Pheasant with Butter Beans and Chorizo
I love summer and I’m sad to see it go but on the other hand the produce this time of year is amazing. This one pot is so comforting and healthy. I find roasted pheasant a bit dry so pot roasting it keeps it really moist. The butter beans are so tasty and the chorizo…
Roasted Squash Salad with Toasted Cobnuts, Feta and Crispy Sage
So Autumn has arrived, I must say the colours on trees are beautiful. Warm oranges, bright reds and golden yellows. I think the squashes represent these colours so well. Cobnuts remind me Autumn too I love watching squirrels bury them away for the winter. I didn’t use much sage over the summer and I love…
End of Summer Chicken, Chorizo, Courgette and Tomato One Pot
We have been so lucky with our late summer vegetables this year. The tomatoes aren’t as sweet as the height of summer so they work really well being cooked. This is a light tasty one pot dinner using up the last bits of summer vegetables. The chorizo adds a really nice smokiness and meaty flavour….
Smoked Salmon on a Pea and Preserved Lemon Couscous Salad with Crispy Capers
So Autumn is here and the last season summer vegetables are coming to an end. I have already bought a squash for next week but also bought the last bag of summer peas. I think as we have had such a warm summer we have managed to have a late harvest. I really wanted the…
Leftover Roast Lamb, Aubergine and Parmesan Bake
Lamb roast has to be one of my favourite dinners, but I don’t like the leftovers cold and I hate wasting food. I also like a parmigiana and thought lamb goes really well with aubergine. This recipe is really yummy and great way to use up leftovers. Ingredients 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped 1…
Homemade Tomato Sauce and Cheese Nachos
As the summer was late and hot this year I still have some tomatoes left. They aren’t as sweet as they are in the height of summer so cooking them is a good idea. I had some tortilla wraps left over from my work lunches so decided to have a go at my my own…
Lime, Poppyseed and Honey Chicken Salad with Roasted Fennel Carrots
As it has been summer in the UK I have been really bad as I haven’t posted for ages, if it’s sunny on the weekend I skip any housework and head off down the coast so if there is a cloudy day I have to catch up with my mundane chores. It is getting much…
Pan Fried Sea Bass with Cherry Tomato, Wine and Thyme Sauce
Tomatoes are so amazing this time of year we are having them in salads, oven bakes and in sauces. Sea bass is another great summer ingredient so I combined the two together. This is a fresh tasty summery dinner. The fish, tomatoes and thyme really compliment each other. Ingredients (serves 2) 2 sea bass fillets,…
Beetroot, Feta and Coriander Burgers
Sometimes it’s nice to have a meat free healthy lunch or dinner. These burgers were surprisingly filling and tasted delicious. The feta seasoned the beetroot so well and added a really good texture. There is quite a lot of water in beetroot so I had to give mine a good squeeze to get it as…
