I fancied a change from avocado in a salad so thought I would try them stuffed (I stuffed roast peppers a few days ago). I loosely followed a recipe but just used the ingredients I had knocking around the cupboard, fridge and freezer. It was actually really tasty and has the classic flavours you usually…

Baked Goats Cheese, Aubergine and Walnut Salad with a Blackberry and Thyme Dressing Recipe
This salad tasted so Autumnal and was really comforting. I am trying to use the blackberry vinegar I made in recipes, it works extremely well in dressings, if you don’t have any you can substitute for sweet balsamic vinegar or honey. This is one of those salads that looks more complicated than it really is…
Mediterranean Halloumi and Couscous Stuffed Roasted Peppers Recipe
So for meatless Monday this week we have stuffed peppers. I have been wanting to try these for a while but I was a little worried that the peppers might repeat on me but they didn’t. I really enjoyed this dish and would definitely make it again. The pepper is sweet and soft without being…
Christmas Prep – Spiced Pickled Pears for Cheese and Cold Meats Recipe
So we are getting to that time of year, Christmas. I love Christmas food hot and cold. I think the cold meats and cheeses are probably my favourite part though. There is nothing better than a platter of homemade ham, cold turkey, local cheese and lots of tasty accompaniments, like these pickled pears. They are…

Curries are a firm favourite in our house. We have worked our way through a host of celebrity chef’s cook books like Rick Stein’s Asia and India, Anjum Anand Indian cookery and also Atul Kochhar’s Books plus a few more. We haven’t had a bad one yet and they vary with different spice blends and…
Skinny Creamy Broccoli and Cauliflower Soup Recipe
So the soup season is now upon us which I don’t really mind to be honest. I love a comforting creamy soup but not the calories. This is a perfect balance, I have kept the fat and carbs down by using skimmed milk and only one potato. The cauliflower is the star as it thickens…

We are so lucky to have an amazing fishmonger. We saw the lemon sole on his counter and couldn’t resist buying some. Paulie did some research on availability of fish and sole is in season now and for the next few months. This dish is healthy, earthy, extremely tasty and really easy and quick to…

Roasted Maple Glazed Acorn Squash and Carrot Salad with Halloumi and Mustard Dressing Recipe
This salad is so Autumnal. It is comforting, sweet, savoury and fulfilling with a lovely tangy dressing. I served ours for lunch warm and would also serve it for dinner, it would also be just as nice served cold or in your lunch box. I love all the different types of squashes that are available…
Fish Friday – Thai Coconut Mussel Broth Recipe
If you want a very quick tasty dinner this is the answer. This dinner takes under 10 minutes including the prep time. I love how you get a hit of ginger, garlic and herbs in every other mouthful. The mussels were Cornish from our fishmonger and cost all of £4 and were so much plumper…
Homemade Sun Dried Tomato Whole Wheat Gnocchi, Broccoli and Cheese Skinny Bake Recipe
As I’m still trying to move away from white processed flour I thought I would have a go at whole wheat gnocchi particularly as the pasta turned out so well. As the whole wheat does have a flavour I needed something strong to go with it, I love sun dried tomato’s so I made a…
Prosciutto Wrapped Halibut on a Cannellini Stew topped with Gremolata Recipe
Halibut is such a delicious fish, as it is the largest in the flat fish family. As with other flat fish you get a wonderful flavour but also a very meaty fillet. This dish is perfect for the cooler dark evenings that have approached us. The beans are so comforting, the fish is so tasty…
West Country Chicken Casserole Recipe
This is a perfect autumn dish as it is a light casserole. As I’m Devonian I love cider and it is great in one pot’s to create a light sauce, in the winter we tend to use red wine and beef for a more heartier option. I always think one pot dinner’s are really comforting…
Pork Chops in a Sage, Mustard and Maple Syrup Sauce Recipe
I always think pork chops are one of those comfort dinners. My sage plant is in really good condition and I have barely used any of it all summer. As the nights are getting colder and darker it is the perfect setting to make more comforting dinner’s which means I can use sage, don’t be…
