Freekeh, Quinoa, Bulgur, Farro, Amaranth…….where does the list of Ancient Grains end? And where the bloody hell have they come from? Is it just me or have they all come out of the wood work in the last couple of years? I consider myself to be fairly...
I have seen many versions of this type of recipe lately, and thought I should probably get on the Zucchini pasta substitute bandwagon ASAP. What can I say? I am a massive follower of food fashion and I am amazed at its ever evolving capabilities. I mean, who ever...
Wow! I loved this warm Asian inspired salad. As with all Asian food it had the perfect balance of hot, salty, sweet and sour as well as the crunch of fresh salad and aromatic herbs. Rib eye cooked to perfection and lightly charred roasted pumpkin completed this...

When I informed my family I was making a lasagne out of lentils, kale and ricotta, you could only imagine their reaction. One of pure horror at the thought of their favourite Italian classic minus the meat. I waited with baited breath as they took their first...
I have a little obsession with Japanese inspired food at the moment. I just love the fresh, clean and zesty flavours of wasabi and pickled ginger and I am also a tad partial to crumbed meat. You may not think it is the healthiest option but if your oil is at the...
