Chicken Tagine with Dates and Honey

Chicken thighs work so well in tagines and curries. This was particularly nice as it tasted really opulent. It was lovely and sweet but also savoury from the spices. I enjoyed every mouthful. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions

Air Fryer Zaatar Courgette and Ham Salad

I love all the produce you get in the summer. I think if you eat something when it is actually in season tastes so much better. I really love courgettes as they are so versatile and take on flavours really well. This zaatar works perfectly and I always use red pepper flakes rather than chilli…

Rose Harissa and Preserved Lemon Cod Tagine

Gosh this was yummy, but then I again smoked paprika is one of my addictions along with dried oregano! As its summer I thought fish would be a really nice lighter option though chicken would work really too. I make my own preserved lemons (hence the colour) they last for ages and ages. I think…

Feta Mint and Potato Salad with a Herb Mustard Dressing

As it is only me and paulie in the house (apart from 2 fur babies) if we have new potatoes for dinner we don’t eat a whole bag. I cook all of them and use them in salads. This salad was yummy and really summery. I love feta and mint together, the flavours work so…

Prawn Cocktail Salad

I don’t think there is anything better than this classic retro dish. It reminds me of my Sunday lunch at my nans. I oddly also had a really good one when I was india. I also think it has to be a crunchy lettuce can of like a Caesar salad. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions

Bacon and Sun Blushed Tomatoes on a Rocket, Parsley and Chive Salad

I am really enjoying chives in everything at the moment but particulary in salads. My other addidction this summer are sun blushed tomatoes, they are so delicious and juicy. A certain 4 lettered blue and yellow german supermarket sell the best ones in my opinion in their deli area. Air fryer bacon is also the…

Halloumi and Orzo Salad with Herby Air Fryer Courgettes

This is a really nice fresh summery salad. I love frying the courgettes in the air fryer as it is so easy. I hadn’t tried orzo in a salad before and it worked really well. As it is smaller pasta it was really easy to stir through the herbs. This had a really meddetarian vibe…

Mediterranean Summer Vegetable Sausage Casserole

Sometimes you fancy doing something different with a sausage in the summer other then a BBQ. I love sausage casserole in the winter. I decided to make a summer version with lovely summery vegetables. The main flavour I wanted was lovely smokey sweet paprika and it worked a treat. This was light fresh healthy and…

Crustless Courgette, Cheese and Herb Quiche

I love making crustless quiches (its also a secret way to get eggs in my hubby!). You don’t need pastry and can literally chuck in anything you have knocking about. I used manouri cheese as that’s what I had but any cheese with work, feta, cheddar or even grated halloumi. I think it does need…

Air fryer Roasted Vegetable and Chorizo Moroccan Couscous

I love my air fryer, it is so versatile. It is also so healthy and I just chucked in the courgettes and peppers left them alone and they came out lovely and charred. Fruit with savoury food can sometimes be a bit like marmite, you either like it or hate it. This would make a…

Cod En Papillote with New Potatoes and Tomatoes

When I first started cooking en papillote was one the first fish dishes I tried as I felt comfortable with it as it was in a bag and cooked itself in the oven. It is so tasty and you can anything under the fish, fennel, vegetables rice etc. I am so glad I did it…

Skinny Baked Courgette Mac n Cheese

So I am getting creative using up my courgettes as they are bang in season. I then had a faint memory or a mac n cheese that was in one of my magazines so thought id give it a bash. It was delicious! The courgettes adds a bit of freshness. It also takes it to…

Herby Pork Mince and Gnocchi in a Tomato Broth

I really appreciate a really quick dinner that is also a one pot and this is one of those. I’m really lucky as I go on holiday twice a year I manage to get all my herbs from the med. these ones are from Greece and are all wild in the hills and mountains. To…
