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…

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…
Marinated Steak Tacos with Avocado Crema and Tomato Salsa
Who doesn’t love a taco? Not me I love them! They are so versatile you can put anything in them really. This time I went for steak and I used fillet as I got a nice bit reduced. The marinade is really yummy so I kept the avocado really simple. I just bought my tacos…
Asian Marinated Tempeh on a Fresh Herb, Avocado and Kimchi Salad with a Peanut Dressing
As you can see from previous posts I absolutely love tempeh thanks to a little warung in Bali. You can marinade tempeh in any asian sauces as it just soaks up the flavours. It works perfectly with the fresh salad and pickled kimchi. I can have peanut sauce on anything this one is nice and…

Yum, yum, yum. This dish is so versatile you can have it for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. You can add a poached or fried egg maybe some bacon too. It sounds complicated but it’s not as you just chuck the fritter ingredients into a bowl. This is also Uber healthy as it’s sweet potato,…
Homemade Tacos with Leftover Beef, Avocado and an Asparagus Slaw
I love tacos and P treated me to some taco holders, which I must say are brilliant. I’ve never made my own tortilla before but they turned out really good and were easier than I thought. At the moment asparagus is bang in season so I’m using them in lots of different ways, this slaw…
Courgette, Pea and Goats Cheese Fritters with a Courgette Zoodle Salad and Avocado and Pistachio Cream
This is truly a courgette and pea celebration using different flavour combinations and textures. The two green goddesses taste so summery, fresh, light and good together.

Halloumi on a Green Salad of Shaved Asparagus, Avocado and Watercress topped with Homemade Fridge Pickles
This salad is so summery and seasonal. I normally fry the halloumi in a frying pan but for my photos I thought I would griddle it instead. As soon as I did I realised I would never pan fry it ever again. As the halloumi is slightly raised when cooking it completely removes the ‘squeak’…
Hot Smoked Salmon and Bruised Cucumber on a Dill and Parsley Salad with a Mustard Dressing
I’m starting to get so excited with the local produce season that’s on its way. I have missed so many things but sweet tomatoes and baby cucumbers that are in season now taste so fresh and of course asparagus is coming up. I’m also trying to get more herbs in my diet so trying to…
Baked Sweet Potato with Avocado Smash and Cheese Topping
I love a jacket potato for lunch sometimes and my favourite is sweet potato. I saw a variation of this in a Waitrose magazine but dot all the ingredients for a fraction of the price from Lidl. In my opinion Lidl’s cheeses and charcuterie are the best and over half the price. They tend to…
Hot Smoked Salmon and Avocado with Parsley and Mint Pesto Jersey Royal Potato Salad
This is such a good time of year for produce some of my favourites are asparagus, wild garlic and of course the first harvest of jersey royals. Jersey royals are creamy, buttery but still nice and firm so what better way to eat them other than warm (these were my leftovers from another dinner) in…
Smoked Trout, Griddled Corn and Avocado Deconstructed Taco’s with a Blue Cheese Ranch Dressing
I haven’t tried making my own ranch dressing before but I wouldn’t go back now I have. It is creamy full of flavour and it has a subtle kick at the end. I had some left over. Tortilla wraps and have made chips with them before (recipe here) so I thought I’d have a go…
Harissa and Black Bean Loaded Sweet Potato Skins with Whipped Feta and Smashed Avocado
For this weeks meatless dinner I made stuffed sweet potato skins. I have wanted to use whipped feta for ages and it worked so well in this dish. It was really filling and healthy. The sweetness from the potato works really well with the smokey harissa paste. The creamy avocado and salty feta really finishes…
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…
Hot Smoked Salmon on an Avocado, Bean and Potato Salad with a Rosemary, Garlic and Lemon Dressing Recipe
Our fishmonger does a cracking hot smoked salmon. The textures in this dish work so well together. The flesh of the salmon is nice and soft against the crunchy beans and watercress. The smooth creamy avocado works so well the salty capers. Rosemary, garlic and lemon go so well together and it perfectly finishes off…
