I love tandoori chicken and poppadoms with the yummy chutneys, the mango is my favourite. So to get an Indian hit I thought I would turn it into a salad. Rather doing a whole leg of chicken, I changed it to chunks. For the poppadom element I used flaked almonds and finally for the mango…
Squash Gnocchi with Black Pudding, Mushroom and Kale
Sometimes you just fancy a quick one pan dinner that is still really tasty. This is just that. These were ingredients I had knocking about in the fridge from a fry up and salad. They all worked really well together and it was delicious. Instead of black pudding you could use sausage as black pudding…
Crab and Avocado Toasts
So we took the dogs to the coast for their walkies and every time we go down we treat ourselves to a fresh crab as I love them so much. This was our brunch the next day it was so delicious. I really like a mixture of brown and white meat as I think it…
BLT Salad with Pecans and a Mustard Dressing
I love bacon, lettuce and tomato. As it’s winter I decided to use sun dried tomatoes instead of fresh and added some pecans for some crunch. It’s a slightly odd combination but was very yummy none the less. The mustard dressing made it nice and zingy. Ingredients (serves 2) For the Salad For the Dressing…
Roasted Squash Gnocchi
I saw this recipe on a cooking programme and really wanted to try it. I had to add more flour to mine. The squash is really sticky but flouring your hands when kneading really helps. I was so pleased as it made 4 portions for the 2 of us. I froze 3 portions down by…
Venison Loin with a Red Wine and Juniper Sauce Served with Roasted Carrots and Parsnips
This was a treat. I didn’t get into game until later on in life, but I love it now. Venison is my favourite and this has a much deeper flavour than fillet steak though I do love that too. To make it really comforting and wintery I served it with roasted vegetables and a rich…
Feta, Beetroot, Watercress and Avocado Salad with a Balsamic Dressing
So when Paulie goes into London for meetings he always swings by borough market to get me some goodies. He knows me so well no flowers for me but lovely culinary delights or an unusual ingredient I haven’t used before is the way to my heart. One of the amazing things in the market are…
Cumin, Carrot, Ginger and Cashew Nut Soup
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 Sea Bass Fillets with a Tomato, Olive and Caper Sauce
I think sea bass is one of my favourite fishes as it cooks so quickly and tastes so yummy. I decided to go for the Mediterranean vibe on this recipe. I know it sounds weird but it felt healthy eating it. The flavours are so yummy and I literally drank the liquid that was left…
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…
Chicken, Leek, Cabbage and Pancetta Casserole
I love doing new and exciting recipes for my blog but sometimes it’s so nice to just do an uncomplicated dinner. This is great as it’s a one pot and ready in 30 minutes. I love leeks and chicken and had some cabbage left over so chucked that in too. You can use smoked bacon…
Mediterranean Halloumi Salad and Herb Dressing
I love dried herbs they add flavour to anything. My favourites are oregano, thyme and rosemary. When I was in Greece they served a salad dressing like this over their feta Greek salad. I used halloumi in mine but I tried to recreate the dressing and it was yummy. Ingredients (serves 2) For the Salad…
Asian Salt and Vinegar Kale Crisps (Miso and Rice Wine Vinegar)
I love Kale chips or crisps. I chuck mine in the air fryer so they are quick and simple. Apart from ready salted, salt and vinegar is my favourite flavour. I was adding these to an Asian salad so decided to do Asian salt and vinegar. I used the miso for my salt and the…
Ultimately Spiced Slow Roasted Leg of Lamb
All I can say about this is wow wow wow. This was so delicious, juicy, moist and the marinade was so tasty. Lamb can take on strong flavours so I really made the most of that and really went for it. Don’t worry if you think the black bits look burnt they don’t taste it,…
Chorizo on Middle Eastern Pomegranate Molasses Haricot Beans
I love Middle Eastern flavours. I was tidying up my store cupboard and at the back was half a bottle of pomegranate molasses, I was determined to use it in something so this salad was born. My friend is Israeli and she brought me back some Zaatar that her family had made. It’s delicious and…
