So I found out today that the first piccalilli recipe dates back to 1694 by Lady Anne Blencowe’s in England. Just shows how good it is as it a firm favourite still. If you grown your own veg its an awesome way to preserve them as it is so versatile. As I was trying to…

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…
Smoked Salmon, Preserved Lemon and Caper Salad
This salad is delicious, Smokey buttery salmon, salty capers and zingy preserved lemon. I used my pickled radish for the sweetness but to be fair gherkins or cornichons would work just as well. I love preserved lemons I like to keep a jar on the go as they take 4 weeks to-preserve. It is really…
Air Fryer Zaatar Courgette and Ham Salad
I love all the produce you get in the summer. I think if you eat something when it is actually in season tastes so much better. I really love courgettes as they are so versatile and take on flavours really well. This zaatar works perfectly and I always use red pepper flakes rather than chilli…
Feta Mint and Potato Salad with a Herb Mustard Dressing
As it is only me and paulie in the house (apart from 2 fur babies) if we have new potatoes for dinner we don’t eat a whole bag. I cook all of them and use them in salads. This salad was yummy and really summery. I love feta and mint together, the flavours work so…
Prawn Cocktail Salad
I don’t think there is anything better than this classic retro dish. It reminds me of my Sunday lunch at my nans. I oddly also had a really good one when I was india. I also think it has to be a crunchy lettuce can of like a Caesar salad. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions
Gammon Steaks with a Warm Potato and Broccoli Salad
I always think gammon is seen as a really old fashioned ingredient. It does remind me of my childhood particularly my nan. This potato salad is going to be such a go to it was so yummy and really simple to make. It has everything, its got a bit of crunch from the gherkins and…
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. A certain 4 lettered blue and yellow german supermarket sell the best ones in my opinion in their deli area. Air fryer bacon is also the…
Halloumi and Orzo Salad with Herby Air Fryer Courgettes
This is a really nice fresh summery salad. I love frying the courgettes in the air fryer as it is so easy. I hadn’t tried orzo in a salad before and it worked really well. As it is smaller pasta it was really easy to stir through the herbs. This had a really meddetarian vibe…
Leftover Chicken Taco Salad with a Lime and Coriander Dressing and Crispy Strips
I had a massive Mexican craving and as I am always looking at other food blogs I saw one that had done a deconstructed taco and it looked delicious so I had to have a go at re creating one. It was delicious zingy from all the limes, fragrant coriander and fresh corn! I have…
Air fryer Roasted Vegetable and Chorizo Moroccan Couscous
I love my air fryer, it is so versatile. It is also so healthy and I just chucked in the courgettes and peppers left them alone and they came out lovely and charred. Fruit with savoury food can sometimes be a bit like marmite, you either like it or hate it. This would make a…
Hot Smoked Trout and Fennel Salad with a Dill, Chive and Lemon Dressing topped with Crispy Capers
This salad was really special and such a treat. It has everything, crunchy aniseedy fennel, soft Smokey trout, a fresh and zingy dressing, then finished off with crispy salty capers. I love frying capers as they open up and look like flowers. They are so crispy, I could eat a whole bowl of them. It…
Healthy Ham and Herby Potato Salad
This was a really nice change from the usual mayonnaise dressing used in a potato salad. The potatoes tasted fresh and zingy. I think the key to this is making sure you use good quality olive oil. It is summer in a bowl. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions
Miso and Tamarind Slow Roasted Aubergine
I think slow roasting an aubergine is the best way to cook them as it makes the flesh so juicy and tender. They can also take on flavours really well so and spices really whether it’s Middle Eastern, Indian. Mediterranean etc. I went Asia this time with tangy miso and tamarind all sweetened up with…
Coriander Prawns, Kimchi and Edamame Salad Bowl with Gochujang Dressing
I’m trying to get into eating more fermented foods as they are so good for your gut. I really like the flavours of kimchi. As it’s Korean I wanted to stick to that theme and I love a Buddha bowl. The dressing worked perfectly, the gochujang dressing adds a kick and really uplifts the salad….
