The much divided brussel sprouts are back in season! I love them as long as they aren’t over cooked like in my childhood. I eat them in all different formats, shaved raw in a salad, roasted, plain etc. This dish is a match made in heaven for me. Juicy pork chops with roasted fatty bits….
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…
Chicken, Leek, Pea and Spinach Filo Pie
I have wanted to try a filo pie for ages as I recently came back from Greece and ate lots of spinach and feta spanakopita. I wanted to put a British spin on it so settled for chicken, peas, leeks and bacon with a nod to Greece, spinach. This was so comforting the filo pastry…
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…
Chicken and Cashew Nut Stir Fry with a Chop Suey Style Sauce
I love a quick stir fry and a take away. As the cost of living has gone up I am making the takeaway dishes at home and to be fair they taste so much better. once you have the staples you can make dish after dish after dish. To make it different you can just…
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…
Shrimp Tacos with Avocado, Lime and Coriander Crema
Tacos are my new addiction at the moment I have eaten them out loads of times but only recently started making them myself. They are so versatile you can basically put anything you have in them. As their is only me and my hubby I thought it might be a bit of a faff but…
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…
Broccoli and Butter Bean Bake with a Black Pudding Crumb
Sometimes a one pot hits the spot! You can make this vegetarian by not using the black pudding. I’m a Devonshire girl we usually go for hogs pudding but I also love black pudding too and to be fair as we mastered the hogs pudding we found it easy to make the black pudding. Hogs…
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…
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…
Miso Tuna Rice Balls in a Garlic, Ginger and Spring Onion Broth
So I was feeling a bit under the weather so wanted a nice ginger broth to boost me up. This worked perfectly, I needed to make it abit more substantial. I raided my stock cupboard and had a tin of tuna and of course rice so decided to make these. The broth and balls go…

Lemon Sole on Polenta with a Warm Sweetcorn Salsa
It’s corn as the song goes. I totally agree it’s juicy and sweet. I had a love hate relationship with polenta and stayed away from it for awhile but decided to try it again thanks to A well known yellow and blue supermarket that has themed country weeks. Yes I like it again and realise…
