I came across saganaki when buying halloumi in the supermarket. I bought a pack and looked up how to cook it, I was not disappointed. If I had to describe it I would say it is a cross between mozzarella and halloumi. Whereas halloumi goes slightly soft in the center saganaki actually goes gooey and…
Wild Duck Breast with Orange Braised Chicory and a Spiced Sauce
I am so into the wild duck at the moment, it is full of flavour and so tender. I love five spice duck so thought I would make a spiced sauce to go with it, my gosh it was tasty. It went so well with the orangey soft braised chicory. Each flavour works in harmony…
Roasted Squash and Fennel Salad with Blue Cheese and an Almond and Lemon Dressing
I love roasting squash and fennel as it really brings out their sweet notes. I leave the skin on my butternut squash to add in extra fibre and nutrients. The blue cheese adds a nice acidity and goes well with the sweet squash flesh. The dressing is nice and creamy, the preserved lemon really packs…
Quick and Healthy Asian Baked Gurnard with Steamed Baby Pak Choi
After a long weekend in Devon where we ate lots of cream and carbs we are back on the health kick. I love gurnard as it is a cheap fish and can be really meaty which makes it more filling. Baking fish en papillote works so well with asian flavours and the flavour of the…
Delicious Whole Wheat Almond and Jam Tart
I do get a sweet craving now and then. I love bakewell tart and I had a little pot of jam in the cupboard that I hadn’t used from my christmas hamper so I thought I would try to make a lighter version. This was so delicious, the base was short and biscuity, the jam…
Roasted Carrot, Feta and Orange Salad with a Tahini Dressing
I adore carrots this time of year and roasting them is one of my favourite things. Something magical happens when carrots and cumin combine their flavours. The fresh citrus flavour from the orange and coolness from the tahini makes this salad really special. The textures are really nice too and the caramelisation on the carrots…
Aromatic, Fresh and Tasty Chicken Pho Broth
This dish is so comforting, it is full of flavour and the fresh lime, herbs and chilli really pack a punch. You can add any greens to this I just happened to have spinach in the fridge, it is the same with the herbs you could use mint or even parsley. I tend to make…
Corned Beef, Griddled Chicory and Walnut Salad with a Pommegranate Molasses Dressing
I love proper corned beef, the spices really penetrate the meat and it also just melts in your mouth. The Chicory or endives do need a sprinkle a sugar and caramelisation as the leaves are so bitter. The walnuts add a nice crunch and you get a citrusy sweet flavour from the pomegranate molasses. Ingredients…
Fragrantly Spiced Lamb and Sweet Potato Curry
This curry is full of flavour and is really comforting, the smells you get from the kitchen are so yummy and make it really satisfying to eat. It has a lovely spice flavour and a hint of heat but it doesn’t blow your head off. Lamb takes on spices really well and the potato makes…
Prawn, Chorizo and Avocado Salad with Crispy Capers and Eggless Lime and Chilli Mayo
Oh my this salad was so yummy. I enjoyed every mouthful the sweet prawns with the spicy chorizo and cooling avocado, then you get the peppery watercress and crispy salty capers, all finished off with a zingy mayo. I used delicious prawns from greenland, they have so much flavour and sweetness. I also used a…

The sausage filling is delicious and the cheesy topping finishes it off nicely. Ingredients (serves 2) 1 medium squash, halved and seeds…
Fruity Caribbean Jerk Chicken and Bean Salad Bowl with a Ginger, Honey and Lime Dressing
This salad was so tasty. I have a slight obsession with jerk chicken. We went on a cruise in the Caribbean just before Christmas and I didn’t have any jerk chicken (and was getting worried) just lots of bar b que fish, rice and plantain. The day before the cruise ended we went to the…
Asian Pork and Fennel Pot Stickers with Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce
Wow these were delicious. I have always been a little scared of fiddly recipes but this wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I adapted Donna Hays recipe as I know she likes to keep things as simple as she can. My crimping wasn’t perfect but that didn’t matter at all, as long…
Crispy Saganaki on a Bed of Roasted Vegetable Whole Wheat Couscous Recipe
Happy new year everyone, I hope you had a great festive season. So I’m at that stage where I fancy food that isn’t too rich. Couscous is always a nice light lunch and saganaki isn’t a rich cheese either it’s the greek version of halloumi. I like to roast vegetables like peppers and the sweet…
Chicken, Pea, Bacon and Cider Bake with a Crushed New Potato, Mustard and Spring Onion Topping Recipe
