Smoked Salmon Salad with Lemony Baked Courgettes and Caper Berries
As snowdrops are flowering and daffodils are starting to shoot. I decided to make myself a nice zingy and light salad.

I got some really good quality feta cheese and olives from a farmer’s market so I wanted to use them in a simple way. The dressing matches the flavours perfectly.

Healthier Chinese Lemon Chicken
I am trying to keep things healthy as I’m not moving around as much as I’m working from home. I didn’t miss the breadcrumbs at all in this recipe in fact it tasted better. My hubby doesn’t like eggs that much but I can get them down him in egg fried rice, I think it…

If you fancy trying a non-fishy fish (I know that sounds crazy) and want to wow guests with something different try this recipe. Monkfish is more meaty and chunky, it is a bit like chicken, it is tasty and sweet but is firm enough to take on spices, you can even use it for a…

Veal escalope’s are such a great quick tasty dinner. If you eat italian food you probably have heard of this combination scaloppini al limone. The flavours work so well together and the potatoes are healthier as you fry them in olive oil over a high heat so they don’t absorb any fat and have nice…
