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…
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.

Wham bam yummy lamb. This roasted lamb is soooo good. Amazing flavours with loads of herbs, garlic, lemon and mustard. You can pair this with any sides from potatoes to couscous. The other bonus is I got this heavily reduced, I usually slow roast lamb for hours but this one is ready in just an…

Teriyaki Tempeh on an Asian Salad with Miso Aubergine

Sweet Potato and Parsnip Soup with Sage Grissini

Blue Cheese and Roasted Tomato Lentil Salad Recipe
For some reason soft blue cheese goes really well with earthy lentils and sweet tomatoes. When you have a mouthful it really gives you a burst of flavours.

Sun Dried Tomato Couscous with Mushroom’s, Kale and Saganaki Recipe
I didn’t even know saganaki existed until I was buying some halloumi and saw it next to it so I thought I would give it a try for a change. It was really yummy it isn’t as firm or squeaky as halloumi. It holds it shape so well and it has a springy centre. I…
