Crispy Potato, Pesto and Burrata with a Chorizo Crumb and Preserved Lemon
I love Mediterranean food especially this time of year. You can mix and match the different flavours from different countries but they all work together. I think it’s the similar climate and products and techniques being exchanged from people’s travels. In this recipe I have Spanish chorizo with Italian burrata and pesto with make a…
Sausage, Butterbean and Pesto One Pot
This is cheap, easy, simple and quick dinner. It is perfect if you have my leftover cooked sausages too. You can use any fresh or dried herbs in this dish. You just add everything in the pot and it only needs 20 minutes. I do think you do need a good quality stock pot though…
Cauliflower and Fresh Greens Cheese Bake
We love cauliflower cheese here in the uk and you can really pimp it up with bacon, different types of cheeses, mushrooms, black pudding or any green vegetables like spinach. My husband was told by the dr he needs abit more fiber in his diet so I used spring greens as a they are high…
Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip
This dip just oozes sunshine in colour and taste. It’s Smokey, sweet and nutty. Roasting the peppers makes such a difference if you’re serving it with your bbq, just chuck the peppers on it to char them off. This is great as a side, alongside veg sticks or chips, meze or simple with a salad…

Leftover Chicken, Pea and Pepper Pasta in a BBQ Sauce
I do love a chicken roast dinner I probably have it more than other meats as it is cheap, reliable, easy to make and all sides go with it perfectly even Yorkshire pudding! I usually make a chicken stock with the carcass chucking in any vegetables I have knocking around. I also love going down…
Roast Beef and Lentil Salad with a Horseradish Dressing
This is a great salad for using up leftovers from a beef joint. I love beef and horseradish together it’s as good as beef with mustard. For texture and earthiness I added in the lentils. I love this way of cooking them too. I chuck in 1/4 of a stock cube so you get a…
Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Gnocchi in a Creamy Blue Cheese Sauce
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. Purple sprouting broccoli is in season right too which is awesome. This is comforting and all the flavours work so well. I think I’ll find it…
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…
