Feta is a healthy option for a salad, I really fancied doing something different with it and thought I would have a go of baking it. I love the new texture the feta has, it’s warm, fluffy and slightly gooey but still holds it shape. The honey works so well I’ve had it in a…

Prosciutto Wrapped Oozy Saganaki on a Broad Bean and Preserved Lemon Salad
I love saganaki as it is as oozy as mozzarella but has so much more flavour. I thought I’d pimp up by wrapping it in prosciutto. It goes well with the fresh, sweet and zingy salad. If your looking for saganaki I got mine from Waitrose and it was in the halloumi and feta area….
Hot Smoked Salmon and Avocado with Parsley and Mint Pesto Jersey Royal Potato Salad
This is such a good time of year for produce some of my favourites are asparagus, wild garlic and of course the first harvest of jersey royals. Jersey royals are creamy, buttery but still nice and firm so what better way to eat them other than warm (these were my leftovers from another dinner) in…
Tuna and Chickpea Salad with an Olive and Caper Dressing
Tuna is a great store cupboard ingredient to knock up a salad, most of the ingredients came out of my cupboard which means it’s great to knock up if you forgot to plan your lunch. The dressing is salty and works well with the tuna. I cut through this with the lemon juice and zest….
Oven Baked Crispy Bacon and Tomatoes with New Potatoes and Wild Garlic Pesto
I love crispy American bacon and decided I wanted to try and recreate it myself. On this attempt I used the wire rack oven method and it worked really well. I know it’s spring when the wild garlic appears. I’ve made a few things with it this year but I do love the faithful pesto…
Thai Prawn, Pea and Coconut Rice Salad
This salad is simple but really delicious. You can use any curry paste that is knocking about in the cupboard. I always seem to have a few spring onions and a piece of ginger in the fridge so this is a great way to use them up. I used frozen peas and prawns which makes…
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…
Bacon, Brussel Sprout and Quinoa Salad with a Harissa and Orange Dressing
I am firmly in the sprout camp and eating them raw in a salad is delicious. Luckily this year they are still available in my local farm shop so I am making the most of it. All the flavours in this salad work so well together. You get earthiness from the grains, crunch from the…
Haggis Salad with a Runny Egg and Mustard Dressing
I’m not Scottish but as it is burn’s night and my local farm shop had an array of haggis goods for sale I thought I would give it a go. I’m from Devon and love hogs pudding so I guessed I should like it. Unlike hogs pudding which uses pig meat, haggis uses lamb organs…
Smoked Trout, Griddled Corn and Avocado Deconstructed Taco’s with a Blue Cheese Ranch Dressing
I haven’t tried making my own ranch dressing before but I wouldn’t go back now I have. It is creamy full of flavour and it has a subtle kick at the end. I had some left over. Tortilla wraps and have made chips with them before (recipe here) so I thought I’d have a go…
