I love stuffing vegetables, whether its peppers, courgettes and such like. When I was shopping there were these beautiful juicy tomatoes and I had some feta knocking around in the fridge so bought them. They were delicious. You get the sweetness from the tomato,saltiness from the feta and bite from the spring onion. Ingredients (serves…

Lentil, Sweetcorn and Bean Chilli
Ive been wanting to make a bean chilli for ages. I don’t think I would ever go back to a meat again! This was absolutely delicious. The best thing is it is all store cupboard ingredients so you can chuck in what you have. I served mine with soft taco’s, cheese and guacamole. It would…
Sweet Potato, Chickpea and Spinach Curry
This was next meat free meal and it was absolutely delicious. The weather is so cold at the moment so it was so nice to have a comforting bowl of this to warm and fill myself up. The flavours are so comforting and the sweet potato adds a sweet note to the dish. The chickpeas…
Egg, Asparagus and Rocket Salad with a Mustard Dressing
So its asparagus season, yes! I’m so lucky as I live on the border of East Sussex and Kent. I have 2 asparagus farms within 10-15 minutes. This means I will be living off asparagus for the next month. The asparagus farm I go to has different grades, so you can get wonky ones for…
Cheesy Indian Beans on Toast
I love baked beans (by that brand) and I love curry sauce. I decided to mix the 2 together it was so delicious. To make it even sexier I added on cheese and grilled it. This had everything in one bite. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions
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…
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…
Celeriac Remoulade with Horseradish
This is such a good autumn and winter side dish I use instead of coleslaw this time of year. I had with my venison burgers not that long ago. You can use it as a side with most things and it’s great in tacos. Ingredients Directions
Roasted Squash and Pasta Salad with Sage and Blue Cheese Pesto
This is a great combination of flavours so apt for this time of year. It is also easy to make as I cooked the squash in my air fryer so saved money as it uses so much less electricity than the oven, we all are feeling the pinch at the moment with the recession around…
Hoisin and Soy Sauce Tempeh Noodle Salad
It’s time for some tempeh again. I went down the Asian route again as I love it so much as the tempeh really soaks up the yummy flavours. Next time I’m going to go down a different route I think. I always keep a bag of edamame beans in the freezer and just rinse them…
Roasted Vegetables on Couscous with a Zaatar Dressing
This is an easy dish as I just bought some prepared mixed vegetables from the supermarket and put them in the oven. Couscous is easy to make too. I love couscous and Zaatar together it tastes so exotic and the flavours are so layered. This is just a yummy dish packed full of flavours. Ingredients…
Mushrooms stuffed with Spinach topped with Parmesan Breadcrumb’s and a Poached Egg
Nowadays brunch is another level, it’s become sexy and sophisticated. Most people think it originates from the US but it actually started in the Uk in the 1800’s probably because they were so hungover they didn’t manage to get to the elaborate servings of breakfast I’m sure the servants were happy 😂 These days we…
Chickpeas, Couscous and Spinach
Meatless Monday today. As we are more informed these days about meat I try to have at least one vegetarian and fish meal a week (doesn’t always happen) but I’ve managed it today. Chickpeas are such a good staple and thankfully nice and filling a great alternative to potatoes. They also carry on flavours so…
Chargrilled Courgettes and Borlotti Bean Salad with a Tahini Dressing
Sometimes a veggie healthy salad hits the spot. Anything chargrilled tastes good with that smokey flavour and the lovely crunchy bits. Borlotti beans are so creamy and add abit of colour. I also think trying different pulses are great but I can’t be bothered to soak raw pulses as they are in every supermarket in…
Thai Rice Salad with a Crispy Egg
So I had some leftover rice which was cold so I decided to do a rice salad. All I had in the fridge was a few mushrooms, an egg, a sweet baby pepper and a shallot. I decided to go down the Thai route as I had no protein and Thai works really well as…
