You may not believe me but this was my first time making Potato Gnocchi. I’m not sure why but I’ve always put it in the too hard basket and truth be told, it is not something I normally order or crave. It is a bit touch and go in restaurants as sometimes...
I have been cooking Spaghetti Arrabiata for about 15 years and we still have it about once a month. It is a staunch family fave that never changes. It is like your old fluffy slippers, your cuddly bear with the torn ear or your grey old dressing...
Quite possibly my main source of inspiration to create new recipes is to use up what I have in the perishables department. I loathe waste and try really hard to not throw away perfectly good food just because it is a little past its used by date. This Risoni Bake was...
I think you are going to find it a bit ridiculous, just how excited I get by a cracking tray bake. They have become my new best friend!! I just love that you can whack some ingredients on a lined tray (minimal washing up), sprinkle over a few aromatics (flavour scale...
I invested in a pressure cooker (or multi cooker) about 12 months ago and I love it. I gave my old slow cooker away as I found that I preferred the speed of a pressure cooker and the fact that I can brown, cook and simmer in the one pot. I can still use it like a slow...
Having recently returned from another indulgent trip away, I was on the look out for healthy, light meal options. Normally my Husband and I would chow down on a huge 300gm rib eye each but I thought I would have a go at halving our portions. I also thought it would...
Not sure what takes centre stage in this recipe. The smokey, sticky chicken thighs, cooked to perfection on the Barbecue. The nutty quinoa salad with gloriously sweet summer tomatoes and tangy olives or the silky avocado cream that bought the whole dish together....
I love a simple pasta and especially when the bulk of the ingredients come from my own garden. My summer veg are in abundance right now so it is a no brainer that I incorporate them in to as many recipes as I can and I often find that roasting them brings out an...
Love, love, love a good fritter! They are perfect for using up leftover roast meats and veggies etc and can be jazzed up with pretty much anything…..herbs, spices, cheese. These ones were jazzed up with dill, parsley and gorgeous haloumi. Topped with a simple...
Meat and Veg were taken to new heights with just a few simple ingredients in this tasty pub style meal. Who doesn’t love a crumbed cutlet, crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside? Sweet, caramelised roasted tomatoes were an explosion of flavour...
This simple, melt-in-your-mouth pot roasted chicken was inspired by another one of my foodie Gods, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. As always I added another ingredient of my own, purely to put my own spin on it and actually because I thought it would taste better (sorry...
