The weather has changed here it’s got abit colder. Mad really as I was sunbathing yesterday! I fancied something comforting and had some blues cheese leftover from the weekend.

Beef, Rocket and Potato Salad with a Horseradish and Thyme Dressing
This is such a classic British combination, roast beef, potatoes and horseradish. I really love cold roast beef and it can be added to all cuisines in a salad (I also love it in Asian noodle salad) I also cook a few extra potatoes when I am using them for a dinner so I can…

Leftover Chicken Salad with a Curried Mango Chutney Dressing
When I’ve had a roast chicken on Sunday I always have leftovers as its just me and Paulie (oh and 2 dogs and a cat) I like to spice it up so its different to the traditional flavours. Sometimes I might make a curry or a tagine. This week I was working in the office, so I made…
Aussie Inspired Aromatic Dukkah
This is so easy to make and elevates anything you add it to. I had never heard of it before until hubby brought it back from his trip to oz. I was mind blown as it is a seasoning bomb. I looked up the origins and I settled on Egyptian routes as the word means…
Three Mushroom Soup with Parmesan Crisps
It’s that time of year again when the soups make an appearance. I don’t think there isn’t a soup that I don’t like. I opted for mushroom this time. I didn’t want to use cream so I used 3 different mushrooms instead. The flour worked perfectly as the thickener. I didn’t have any bread so…
Air Fryer Halloumi and Pesto Pasta Salad
Sometimes its nice to keep some salads simple. This is great salad for that. It makes such a good lunchbox salad too. I cooked my halloumi in the air fryer. Which made this even simpler. I used my own pesto which I freeze in ice cube trays but any jarred pesto would work too. Just…
Lentil, Sweetcorn and Bean Chilli
Ive been wanting to make a bean chilli for ages. I don’t think I would ever go back to a meat again! This was absolutely delicious. The best thing is it is all store cupboard ingredients so you can chuck in what you have. I served mine with soft taco’s, cheese and guacamole. It would…
Easy Pate Stuffed Mushrooms
Omg I don’t know why I haven’t tried this before it is delicious and so easy to make. I had some mushrooms and some pate going out of date in the fridge. I decided to put the two together. I always have breadcrumbs in the freezer that I make from the ends and stale bits…
Homemade Easy Tikka Paste
Omg I could spread this on toast and eat it! I wish I had made this years ago, it is delicious and has such a different depth of flavour and of course no preservatives like you get in a jar. I learnt a tip from a famous chef regarding ginger, he explained that there is…

Cod En Papillote with New Potatoes and Tomatoes
When I first started cooking en papillote was one the first fish dishes I tried as I felt comfortable with it as it was in a bag and cooked itself in the oven. It is so tasty and you can anything under the fish, fennel, vegetables rice etc. I am so glad I did it…

Tomato Salsa with Wild Garlic Pesto and Capers
I went foraging for wild garlic and made a big batch of pesto. So I am using it in everything at the moment this was really tasty as garlic and tomatoes go so well together. I stayed on the Mediterranean theme by adding the capers and red wine vinegar. It did need a crunch so…
