Chicken is so versatile and has a comforting factor about it. You can make 1000’s of different recipes. We had been to the Weald Smokery and bought some gorgeous cheese, salmon and venison which they smoke in house, they also sell proper Lancashire black pudding and I think chicken and black pudding go really well…

Warm Cavolo Nero, Bacon and Tomato Salad with Pine Nuts and Balsamic Dressing

Healthy Noodle, Mung Bean, Raw Broccoli and Carrot Salad with a Ginger and Lime Satay Style Dressing Recipe
This recipe was inspired by a friend I visit sometimes on a Tuesday. We were talking about food and healthy living, my friend isn’t keen on lot’s of meat which gave me inspiration to try and add more veggie dishes into my diet that are healthy too. I am big on flavour so didn’t just…
Healthy Bacon, Tomato, Thyme and A Smidge of Cheese Open Omlette
Omelettes are a quick healthy and versatile back up meal for breakfast lunch or dinner.

Homemade Borough Market London Sundried Tomato Paste/Dip Recipe
