I was in a restaurant and the table next to me had ordered a prawn chowder as it was a cold day it looked so appetizing so I thought I am going to make that tomorrow. My local supermarket has 25% off fish on certain days, perfect! I chose salmon as I wanted to try…

Pork Meatloaf with a Tomato Glaze
This meatloaf is delicious and lasts for a dinner and cold as a lunch with salad. The apricots add sweetness and the prosciutto saltiness. Being British I used that brand of ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. I also used lean pork so it wasn’t too greasy as the loaf tin is lined with the ham. Old…
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…
Cauliflower Cheese with Black Pudding and a Chestnut and Sage topping
This is my go to comfort dinner, I love cauliflower cheese and treat as a meal on its own tho I do like a gammon steak with it sometimes to. I pimped it up by adding some black pudding and some chestnuts and sage to the breadcrumbs. Its just so tasty! If you don’t like…
Wild Mushroom, Bacon and Truffle Pizza
I was an extremely lucky girl to get a jar of truffle slices for one of my xmas presents. As you can probably guess I am using them sparingly. My husband was in London for work and popped into borough market and there was some wild mushrooms. He knows me so well and brought home some black…
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…
Aussie Inspired Aromatic Dukkah
This is so easy to make and elevates anything you add it to. I had never heard of it before until hubby brought it back from his trip to oz. I was mind blown as it is a seasoning bomb. I looked up the origins and I settled on Egyptian routes as the word means…
Three Mushroom Soup with Parmesan Crisps
It’s that time of year again when the soups make an appearance. I don’t think there isn’t a soup that I don’t like. I opted for mushroom this time. I didn’t want to use cream so I used 3 different mushrooms instead. The flour worked perfectly as the thickener. I didn’t have any bread so…
Easy Pate Stuffed Mushrooms
Omg I don’t know why I haven’t tried this before it is delicious and so easy to make. I had some mushrooms and some pate going out of date in the fridge. I decided to put the two together. I always have breadcrumbs in the freezer that I make from the ends and stale bits…
Homemade Easy Tikka Paste
Omg I could spread this on toast and eat it! I wish I had made this years ago, it is delicious and has such a different depth of flavour and of course no preservatives like you get in a jar. I learnt a tip from a famous chef regarding ginger, he explained that there is…
Homemade Crispy Chilli Beef
So I love a good Chinese takeaway and I think crispy chillibeef along with char siu pork are my favorites. I decided to make my own and it was so delicious much better than the take away and I knew what exactly was in the sauce. As I served it straight away it was also…
Leftover Chicken Taco Salad with a Lime and Coriander Dressing and Crispy Strips
I had a massive Mexican craving and as I am always looking at other food blogs I saw one that had done a deconstructed taco and it looked delicious so I had to have a go at re creating one. It was delicious zingy from all the limes, fragrant coriander and fresh corn! I have…
Caesar Style Chicken Salad
So I have gone through a retro salad phase and this was a Caesar salad kind of day. I decided to keep it light and not add the croutons. It was really yummy. I’m lucky I live near a smokery and they smoke their own chicken breasts. This added a really nice depth of flavour….
Sweet Potato, Chickpea and Spinach Curry
This was next meat free meal and it was absolutely delicious. The weather is so cold at the moment so it was so nice to have a comforting bowl of this to warm and fill myself up. The flavours are so comforting and the sweet potato adds a sweet note to the dish. The chickpeas…
