Lime, Poppyseed and Honey Chicken Salad with Roasted Fennel Carrots
As it has been summer in the UK I have been really bad as I haven’t posted for ages, if it’s sunny on the weekend I skip any housework and head off down the coast so if there is a cloudy day I have to catch up with my mundane chores. It is getting much…
Sweet Potato, Chorizo and Feta Frittata
I love frittata as you can really chuck anything into it and it doesn’t need many ingredients. It’s a bit more substantial and fluffier than an omelette. I decided to go for Mediterranean flavours that work really well together. You get sweetness from the potato, saltiness from the feta and a spicy kick from the…

Squash Cheese Fondue with Sage and Rosemary Dipping Crouton’s Recipe
Where do I start with this …. Oh my gosh! Deliiiicious! This tasted amazing, the sweet squash flesh coated in the creamy cheese, finished off with crunchy croutons oozing in the cheese. This is so clever as the baked squash keeps the fondue warm so it doesn’t harden or burn at the bottom like a…
Smoked Trout with Dill and Chive Potato Rosti, Crispy Caper’s and Herb Mustard Mayo Recipe

Skinny Baked Stuffed Spaghetti Squash with Cheese, Pancetta and Spinach Recipe

Roasted Butternut Squash, Spinach, Goats Cheese and Red Onion Pie Recipe
I saw this recipe on BBC good food and really wanted to have a go. I didn’t have a raised pie dish so only did one layer but it is still really impressive when you cut into it. I also didn’t make my own pastry either. Cumin is one of my favourite spices and I…

Baked Feta and Spinach Samosa (Spanakopita) Recipe
When we were in Turkey we tried these delicious spinach and feta parcel’s they also used this mixture in pancake wraps. I really wanted to have a go at recreating them.
