Soup glorious soup. So today it is raining very heavily and I had my flu jab yesterday so I’m feeling a bit achey. To make everything better I made myself a delicious bowl of spicy comforting soup. Parsnips make any soup seem really creamy, silky and smooth. The spices in this are delicious, so warming…

Herby Sausage Pizza
So I’m trying to empty the freezer and had some sausage meat and black pudding hanging around. I love black pudding and decided it would be nice on a pizza, you get pepperoni right, this is just our version. It was so yummy I did add some extra oregano as I have recently been to…
Tuna and Sweetcorn Potato Skins
I love jacket potato as you can literally put anything on them. I love a certain brand of baked beans with cheese on top. (If they are good enough for our queen consort Camilla, they are good enough for me 😉) My hubby Paulie doesn’t like beans so I had to try something else. Tuna,…
Smoked Trout on an Edamame Bean Salad topped with a Preserved Lemon and Caper Salsa
I love smoked trout it’s abit more delicate than smoked salmon and most supermarkets stock it. I buy shelled edamame or soya beans already prepared and frozen so you can just grab a handful and rinse them under some warm water to defrost. I could eat capers with anything as the give a punch of…
Chickpeas, Couscous and Spinach
Meatless Monday today. As we are more informed these days about meat I try to have at least one vegetarian and fish meal a week (doesn’t always happen) but I’ve managed it today. Chickpeas are such a good staple and thankfully nice and filling a great alternative to potatoes. They also carry on flavours so…
Chorizo and Chickpea Salad with a Lemon and Dill Dressing
This is such a versatile salad and the bonus is its healthy, colourful and very tasty. The dill and lemon together are so fresh, it works so well with the chickpeas and chorizo. I have learnt a tip with chickpeas, once drained I gave the a good rub and then pick off as many skins…
Tomato baked Gnocchi with Parsley and Sun Dried Tomato Breadcrumbs
Sometimes it’s so nice to have comforting and familiar flavours. That’s exactly what this does it makes you want to curl up even though it’s summer. I love the contrast of all the different textures of the humble tomato, tinned and fresh in the sauce then dried in the breadcrumbs. Then you’ve got the added…
Japanese Kimchi and Miso Pancake
I love kimchi, Miso and Pancakes so why not bring them all together, the result magical! It’s also great as you just chuck your favourite vegetables into a bowl an fold to combine. This had so much flavour and was nice and filling. I squeezed hoisin over mine but you could use sriracha, mayo soy…
Easy Beetroot and Potato Mash
The colour of this mash is so vibrant and gorgeous. The mash tastes really yummy too. I had mine with sausages and gravy but you can have this with anything really. It’s also a great was to get some veg into kids as it is a bit fun and quirky and the nutrients in beetroot…
Baked Moroccan Chicken and Carrot Salad with a Pomegranate and Zaatar Dressing
How good is a fresh and zingy easy and quick summery salad. This one ticks all the boxes and I’m loving the middle eastern flavours the ingredients are things you buy once but last for ages. So if you try a few different recipes using an ingredient you haven’t before you will end up with…
Homemade Tomato Salsa
I didn’t realise how making my own salsa would taste so much better than the shop bought varieties and of course there isn’t any nasty preservatives or funky named substitutes in a homemade salsa. It is also so versatile you can add anything you want regarding the herbs and spices. This is perfect as a…
Black Pepper Watermelon and Lentil Salad with Grilled Manouri Cheese
This salad screams summer. Watermelon is delicious at the moment and it takes on black pepper perfectly. It’s a kind of sweet and sour salad with the balsamic vinegar, sweet melon and Creamy cheese. I started off safe with Greek cheese by sticking to the popular cheeses such as feta and halloumi. It’s amazing how…
Crispy Calamari with A Salt and Pepper Polenta Batter
I always order calamari when I’m out as long as it’s fresh. My favourite bits are the tentacles. It has to be a really crispy batter and have a good amount of seasoning. They key is for the oil to be smoking and to literally cook it for a max of 2 minutes. These were…
Leftover Pork Stir Fry with Cauliflower Rice and Char Siu Sauce
If you’ve got some leftover pork or chicken, this is delicious. This recipe has loads of flavour and it’s so quick an easy to make. You can just chuck in any vegetables you have, fresh or frozen. I used a mix of both. I was tired from a long day at work and this was…
Black Pudding Bon Bons
My husband loves black pudding and so do I to be fair. I think the reason I love it so much is because I love spices and black pudding has lovely earthy and warming spices to it. I am quite fussy with it though I’ve had a few bad ones where the iron flavour is…
