Sometimes it’s nice to have a meat free healthy lunch or dinner. These burgers were surprisingly filling and tasted delicious. The feta seasoned the beetroot so well and added a really good texture. There is quite a lot of water in beetroot so I had to give mine a good squeeze to get it as…

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…
Sous Vide Pork Fillet on Garlic and Thyme Borlotti Beans with Salsa Verde
This dinner was delicious. My husband and I treated ourselves to a sous vide machine and it has been a revelation. We first made char Sui pork and the meat was so tender. This time we thought we would keep it simple, the pork flavour is amazing and the meat just melts in the mouth….
Slow Cooked Pulled Lamb with Shallots, Garlic and Balsamic Vinegar
Roast lamb is my favourite roast ever particularly when really slow cooked. We usually make merguez lamb which is so delicious, tasty and juicy but I thought I would mix it up as I saw a similar recipe to this on a cooking show. I was not disappointed it tasted that good that I was…
Healthy Sausage, Fennel and Salsify Tray Bake
I love a one pan dish as it makes for a quick easy mid week dinner. Sausages make a great dinner. Instead of salsify you could use new potatoes. The mustard sauce goes so well with the aniseed from the fennel. You could chuck anything into this really I just used what I had at…
John Dory Fillets with a Caper and Lemon Sauce and Stir Fried Kale with Pancetta
I love going to the fishmonger and buying local fish as your not sure what you are going to get or what is in season. So on this visit they had some stunning John Dory. It is quite a distinctive looking fish with its sail fins and black dot (I’m sure there is a religious…
Slow Cooked Beef Brisket with Red Wine, Thyme and Leeks served with Cabbage and Chestnuts
Some cuts of meat need to be slow cooked and brisket is one of the. It isn’t the prettiest dish but it tastes delicious. It is also a good way to use up a red wine your not keen on. This also makes a delicious rich gravy, which I love. We had ours with sautéed…
Healthy Baked Smoked Haddock, Chive and Prawn Fishcakes with Homemade Tartar Sauce
So I had some potatoes I didn’t use on Sunday and I fancied something light for dinner. These fishcakes worked a treat. I love smoked haddock and thought I would use it in these fishcakes. Making your own tartar sauce is great as you can adjust it to your own taste. I love capers and…
Gammon Steaks with Leek and Celeriac Mash and Apple Sauce
When we had a buy up from the Devon butcher he had some delicious gammon steaks that I couldn’t resist. I forgot how much I like gammon steaks and haven’t had them for years. They are such a pub classic that I didn’t want to go down the egg and chip route so I searched…
Luxurious Brixham Crab and Truffle Mac and Cheese
so on our trip to my hometown Torquay we stopped off at Brixham to go to the fishmongers. Brixham fish is famous particularly the plaice and crab. The day we went it was freezing cold and windy as we made our way along the harbour to the fish market, I was so happy to see…
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…
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…
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…

Chicken, Pea, Bacon and Cider Bake with a Crushed New Potato, Mustard and Spring Onion Topping Recipe
