I eat a lot of Asian salads and I am trying really hard to get more fermented foods in my diet as they are so good for the gut. I drink kefir which I think tastes yummy particularly the vanilla one. This kimchi was flavoured with beetroot it was yummy and defo had a kick….

Lemony Kale Salad with Crispy Parma Ham
I love crispy parma ham, they are like the best crisps ever I could eat a whole bag if they were. Its great as you can just pop them in the air fryer. We all know kale is good for us but im not keen just having it on its own (unless its kale crisps)….
Marinated Tempeh Balinese Salad Bowl with a Tamarind Dressing
The first time I ever tried tempeh was in a little off road restaurant in Bali while we driving to the other end of the island. I hadn’t even heard of it before but the waitress recommended it to us. I was hooked. It is just a flavour sponge, you can marinade it any of…
Tandoori Chicken Salad with a Mango Dressing
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Black Pudding Bon Bons
My husband loves black pudding and so do I to be fair. I think the reason I love it so much is because I love spices and black pudding has lovely earthy and warming spices to it. I am quite fussy with it though I’ve had a few bad ones where the iron flavour is…
Baked Tempeh Noodle Salad with a Grapefruit Dressing
So tempeh has been around for years but it’s really just made it to the uk chain store market in the last few years it has more texture than tofu and it really soaks up the marinade. I had a grapefruit leftover from a fruit salad and thought I would make a dressing like the…
Foraged Wild Garlic, Chicken, Chorizo and Cheese Croquettes
As we are still in lockdown I went a bit mad foraging for wild garlic. So far I have made wild garlic salt, oil and pickled buds (recipes to come). We managed to have a roast chicken on Sunday and I picked off the leftover meat. With the carcass I made a beautiful chicken stock…
