So this was an easy recipe as all the shellfish was in my freezer so I could take a handful out of each and it defrosts really quickly. I love fresh fish but I also think it is handy to have some frozen backups too. This tagine was delicious the aniseed flavour from the fennel…

Broccoli, Leek and Potato Soup
This is a simple but really comforting dish. As it has 3 vegetables I find a large bowl with some yummy crusty bread is enough for me dinner. I always save my parmesan rinds in the fridge and chuck them any soups I make. I used frozen broccoli just to see how it turns out….
Smoked Chicken Caesar Salad
I love a good Caesar salad but I can find them a bit heavy and calorific. I have lightened up the dressing on mine by using light mayonnaise. I also used a smoked chicken breast to make it a bit more exciting. I just love the contrasts of really crisp lettuce, soft chicken, crunch from…
Dukkha Crusted Lamb on Warm Hummus Served with Harissa Roasted Romesco Cauliflower Salad with a Pomegranate Dressing
This dinner was such a treat! It had so many textures and flavours that work harmoniously. I was going to originally coat the lamb with sumac but I didn’t have any so I used the dukkha I had made. I prefer warm hummus to mash potato. Its healthy super silky smooth and has so much…
Roasted Summer Vegetable and Chorizo Couscous with Cumin and Honey
I love roasted vegetables particularly in the summer when things like tomatoes, courgettes and peppers are at their best. I used baby courgettes in this recipe as they were reduced in the supermarket, they were delicious! Tomatoes pair so well together and of course they are in season together. This was simple but totally delicious!…
Pan Fried John Dory on a Fennel, Leek and Pancetta Broth
I am really trying hard to eat more fish at the moment.To keep it interesting I am mixing up the type of fish im using like cod, plaice or hake for example. This time it was John Dory I adore this fish and the spot on it is suppose to be the thumb print of…
Roasted Tomatoes Stuffed with Feta and Basil
I love stuffing vegetables, whether its peppers, courgettes and such like. When I was shopping there were these beautiful juicy tomatoes and I had some feta knocking around in the fridge so bought them. They were delicious. You get the sweetness from the tomato,saltiness from the feta and bite from the spring onion. Ingredients (serves…
Salami and Black Eyed Bean Salad
This is such a good store cupboard and freezer salad. We had a charcuterie platter and there was some salami leftover. I thought I would chuck it into a salad. I always like to keep tinned pulses and jarred herbs in the cupboard as they are so handy. In the freezer I also always have…
Smoked Salmon and Avocado on Crumpets with a Dill and Mustard Dressing
OMG! Why have I never thought of doing savory crumpets before! This was an amazing brunch. I didn’t have any eggs but adding a poached egg would make it perfect! These are one of my favourite combinations smoked salmon, avocado and dill with a tang of mustard. Just yummy! I am gong to have a…
Prawn and Pea Gratin with a Parsley Cheese Sauce and Lemon Breadcrumbs
So this is one of my favourite dinners when my husband is away as he hates parsley sauce but I love it! I grew up with the boil in the bag fish and parsley sauce (or maybe not fish as the shape was rather funky!) This is really nice with smoked haddock as well or…
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…
English Ploughman’s Salad
So I found out today that the first piccalilli recipe dates back to 1694 by Lady Anne Blencowe’s in England. Just shows how good it is as it a firm favourite still. If you grown your own veg its an awesome way to preserve them as it is so versatile. As I was trying to…
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…
Lentil, Sweetcorn and Bean Chilli
Ive been wanting to make a bean chilli for ages. I don’t think I would ever go back to a meat again! This was absolutely delicious. The best thing is it is all store cupboard ingredients so you can chuck in what you have. I served mine with soft taco’s, cheese and guacamole. It would…
Smoked Salmon, Preserved Lemon and Caper Salad
This salad is delicious, Smokey buttery salmon, salty capers and zingy preserved lemon. I used my pickled radish for the sweetness but to be fair gherkins or cornichons would work just as well. I love preserved lemons I like to keep a jar on the go as they take 4 weeks to-preserve. It is really…
