Sun Dried Tomato Couscous with Mushroom’s, Kale and Saganaki Recipe
I didn’t even know saganaki existed until I was buying some halloumi and saw it next to it so I thought I would give it a try for a change. It was really yummy it isn’t as firm or squeaky as halloumi. It holds it shape so well and it has a springy centre. I…

Easy Baked Mushroom’s with Spinach and Goats Cheese Recipe
This is so simple but really tasty. Sometimes I really enjoy a vegetarian lunch or dinner. I have always loved the flavours of florentine and this worked a treat.

Spiced Roast Squash and Parma Ham Salad with a Thyme and Balsamic Dressing Recipe
So before the squash’s are completely out of season I thought I would make a salad to savour them until autumn.

Pork Cheeks Braised in Cider with Rosemary Dumplings Recipe
Pig Cheeks are such a cheap cut of meat but they taste so delicious. I think the best way to cook them is in a stew. Pork, cider and sage are a marriage made in heaven. I also love a dumpling and think they work really well with the melt in the mouth pork and…
