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…

Roasted Squash Gnocchi
I saw this recipe on a cooking programme and really wanted to try it. I had to add more flour to mine. The squash is really sticky but flouring your hands when kneading really helps. I was so pleased as it made 4 portions for the 2 of us. I froze 3 portions down by…
Roasted Spiced Squash with Harissa Yoghurt
I got this idea from a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe I saw on Saturday kitchen. I love his recipes they have soooo much flavour. Middle Eastern flavours are so delicious. My friend is Israeli and she goes home with her kids for the summer, I get so jealous of her foodie pics they make me drool…
Roasted Mushroom and Tomato Salad with a Balsamic Vinegar Dressing
Sometimes it’s nice to have a vegetarian day. I usually pan fry my mushrooms but I decided to give it a go at roasting them as I was roasting my tomatoes anyway. They were yummy. Balsamic vinegar and tomatoes are a match made in heaven and it worked with the mushrooms just as good. This…
Juicy Greek Style Herbed Roasted Lamb
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…
Steak Salad with Roasted Radishes, Puy Lentils and a Goat Cheese and Kale Pesto
I’m not the biggest fan of raw radish but oven roasting takes that harsh bitterness away. I took inspiration from the Waitrose mag with this recipe. I would never of thought you could put goats cheese in a pesto but I guess why not. This salad was really delicious. I always add have a vegetable…
Baked Honey and Chilli Feta on a Roasted Squash, Fennel, Sage and Garlic Salad
I love feta salads in the summer but I really wanted to use it in a comforting winter salad. I tried feta and honey in a tapas restaurant, they served their feta stuffed in Courgette flowers and then fried it was delicious. This recipe is just as nice. It is so comforting all the flavours…
Roasted Squash Salad with Toasted Cobnuts, Feta and Crispy Sage
So Autumn has arrived, I must say the colours on trees are beautiful. Warm oranges, bright reds and golden yellows. I think the squashes represent these colours so well. Cobnuts remind me Autumn too I love watching squirrels bury them away for the winter. I didn’t use much sage over the summer and I love…
Cooked Chorizo on a Bulgar Wheat Salad Loaded with Roasted Courgettes and Tomatoes
So we are well into spring (sort of) so all the British tomatoes and courgettes are starting to appear. I love casseroles and roasted root vegetables salads but I am ready for some lighter lunches and dinners. I really like bulgar wheat but unless you pack it with flavours it can be a bit bland….
Roasted Beetroot and Goats Cheese Salad with a Honey and Thyme Dressing
So as spring is upon us I thought I’d make the most of the winter salads. Roasting beetroot is my favourite way of eating it, piercing the skin means the garlic and thyme flavours really penetrate the flesh. As the beetroot is so earthy the creamy goats cheese and the sweet dressing work so well…
Roasted Squash and Fennel Salad with Blue Cheese and an Almond and Lemon Dressing
I love roasting squash and fennel as it really brings out their sweet notes. I leave the skin on my butternut squash to add in extra fibre and nutrients. The blue cheese adds a nice acidity and goes well with the sweet squash flesh. The dressing is nice and creamy, the preserved lemon really packs…
Crispy Saganaki on a Bed of Roasted Vegetable Whole Wheat Couscous Recipe
Happy new year everyone, I hope you had a great festive season. So I’m at that stage where I fancy food that isn’t too rich. Couscous is always a nice light lunch and saganaki isn’t a rich cheese either it’s the greek version of halloumi. I like to roast vegetables like peppers and the sweet…
Pomegranate Poussin on a Roasted Vegetable and Preserved Lemon Couscous with a Cumin and Pomegranate Dressing Recipe
I’m loving pomegranate molasses at the moment and it works so well as a marinade. It adds a sweet tangy flavour and makes the skin go lovely and crispy with loads of flavour. I ate the legs with my hands and the caramelised outside and chilli was so tasty and the meat was so juicy…
Roasted Beetroot Hummus with Peanut Dukkah Recipe
Beetroot is amazing this time of year and you can d so many more things that just grating into a salad. You can pickle it, steam it or one of my favourites is roasting it. I bought a bunch from our local farm shop eggs to apples. I didn’t want to waste electricity so I…
Roasted Squash and Swede Soup with Bacon Bit’s and Parmesan Crouton’s Recipe
This time of year is great for soups and I love roasting off vegetables to make them sweeter and deepen their flavour. Roasting the squash and swede together adds a really nice sweetness to the soup. You get a nice smokiness from the pancetta. I loved the crispy bacon bits and the crispy croutons to…
