I love trying new ingredients when I see them on a cooking programme. Puffed rice is my new thing. I don’t know what I expected but it is just a savoury cereal puff. Its genius putting it in a salad as it adds such a nice texture and nuttiness. I love textures in salads, and…

Tomato Salsa with Wild Garlic Pesto and Capers
I went foraging for wild garlic and made a big batch of pesto. So I am using it in everything at the moment this was really tasty as garlic and tomatoes go so well together. I stayed on the Mediterranean theme by adding the capers and red wine vinegar. It did need a crunch so…

Whole Dover Sole with an Olive Oil, Caper, Lemon and Basil Dressing
I love eating sole meunière when I’m in a fish restaurant. I always think its so expensive though, so I decided to have a go at making it myself at home. Instead of dover sole you could also use lemon or megrim. This recipe is off the website of the fishmonger where I was born…

This was my veggie dinner this week and it was delicious. I usually make cauliflower cheese but I’m going on holiday in a couple of weeks so needed something skinnier.

Marinated Tempeh Balinese Salad Bowl with a Tamarind Dressing
The first time I ever tried tempeh was in a little off road restaurant in Bali while we driving to the other end of the island. I hadn’t even heard of it before but the waitress recommended it to us. I was hooked. It is just a flavour sponge, you can marinade it any of…
Pork Stuffed Cabbage Rolls on a Cherry Tomato and Garlic Sauce
I have wanted to make these for a few of years and I have finally got round to doing it. I first tried mine in Germany they had rice and a mix of beef and pork mince. I thought they were a little heavy so I made mine without the rice and just pork. I…
Moroccan Ras El Hanout Chorizo and Chickpea Salad
I had some ras el hanout in the back of the cupboard and thought I better use it for something. As it’s Middle Eastern chickpeas came to mind and I thought I’d do a tasty salad. This salad was amazing! The spicy chorizo, warming spices and zingy preserved lemon. I am also addicted to semi…
Roasted Pistachio and Herb Crusted Lamb Rack
Lamb rack is such a treat for me so I wanted to make sure I made it as tasty as possible. I remember having a macadamia crusted lamb chop which was delicious. I used pistachio for mine and dried herbs. I love pepper so I added a good amount of this too. Using mustard as…
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.

Halibut Fillets with a Shrimp, Caper, Lemon and Butter Sauce
Halibut is defo one of my favourite fishes and as it is a flat fish the flavour is beautiful and delicate. It is so meaty and as it is a large flat fish you get a really decent fillet. As it’s not the cheapest fish in the world I do go all out. So drenching…
Pheasant, Bacon, Potato and mushroom One Pot
Where I live is rural, so we get a lot of game available. Luckily over the years we have built a good relationship with our local gamekeeper so we can order directly. This is the first time I have come across pheasant thighs. I treated them like chicken thighs but cooked them less. They are…
Crab and Avocado Toasts
So we took the dogs to the coast for their walkies and every time we go down we treat ourselves to a fresh crab as I love them so much. This was our brunch the next day it was so delicious. I really like a mixture of brown and white meat as I think it…

I love bacon, lettuce and tomato. As it’s winter I decided to use sun dried tomatoes instead of fresh and added some pecans for some crunch.
