We have been so lucky with our late summer vegetables this year. The tomatoes aren’t as sweet as the height of summer so they work really well being cooked. This is a light tasty one pot dinner using up the last bits of summer vegetables. The chorizo adds a really nice smokiness and meaty flavour….

Smoked Salmon on a Pea and Preserved Lemon Couscous Salad with Crispy Capers
So Autumn is here and the last season summer vegetables are coming to an end. I have already bought a squash for next week but also bought the last bag of summer peas. I think as we have had such a warm summer we have managed to have a late harvest. I really wanted the…
Leftover Roast Lamb, Aubergine and Parmesan Bake
Lamb roast has to be one of my favourite dinners, but I don’t like the leftovers cold and I hate wasting food. I also like a parmigiana and thought lamb goes really well with aubergine. This recipe is really yummy and great way to use up leftovers. Ingredients 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped 1…
Homemade Tomato Sauce and Cheese Nachos
As the summer was late and hot this year I still have some tomatoes left. They aren’t as sweet as they are in the height of summer so cooking them is a good idea. I had some tortilla wraps left over from my work lunches so decided to have a go at my my own…
Lime, Poppyseed and Honey Chicken Salad with Roasted Fennel Carrots
As it has been summer in the UK I have been really bad as I haven’t posted for ages, if it’s sunny on the weekend I skip any housework and head off down the coast so if there is a cloudy day I have to catch up with my mundane chores. It is getting much…
Pan Fried Sea Bass with Cherry Tomato, Wine and Thyme Sauce
Tomatoes are so amazing this time of year we are having them in salads, oven bakes and in sauces. Sea bass is another great summer ingredient so I combined the two together. This is a fresh tasty summery dinner. The fish, tomatoes and thyme really compliment each other. Ingredients (serves 2) 2 sea bass fillets,…
Beetroot, Feta and Coriander Burgers
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…
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….
Halloumi and Lentil Salad with a Sweet Chilli Dressing
Halloumi takes on flavours really well and the Thai sweet chilli sauce adds such a nice flavour against the salty, creamy halloumi and earthy lentils. I always replace a block as it’s a quick healthy chuck together lunch. The other thing I keep in the cupboard is a box of puy lentils. I have learnt…
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…
Whole Wheat Tuna Pasta Salad with Oregano, Capers and a Lemon Dressing
When I first started making salads for work and lunch, pasta and tuna were one of the first I learned. Back then I didn’t know what a caper was whereas now I love them and we got through a jar every couple of weeks. I think tuna and pasta are such a comforting combination I…
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…
Cooked Chorizo on a Bulgar Wheat Salad Loaded with Roasted Courgettes and Tomatoes
So we are well into spring (sort of) so all the British tomatoes and courgettes are starting to appear. I love casseroles and roasted root vegetables salads but I am ready for some lighter lunches and dinners. I really like bulgar wheat but unless you pack it with flavours it can be a bit bland….
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…
Greek Quesadillas – Stuffed with Feta, Spinach and Sun-dried Tomatoes
So we had pulled lamb wraps and I had some left over tortillas. I wanted to use them up so thought I would have a go at stuffing them and frying them like the Greeks do. The result was delicious the outside was nice and crispy and the inside was warm, soft and full of…
