Ginger and Yoghurt Baked Cheesecake
I love the flavours in this cheesecake, ginger and yoghurt has been one of my favourite flavour combinations this week and it makes a great refreshing yet indulgent dessert. The stem ginger in this recipe is an optional step, if you want extra ginger-y-ness I would recommend, but if you want a more mild cheesecake,…

Vegetable Goulash
One-pot casserole dishes are one of my favourite things to cook on a busy weeknight. They are easy to make, don’t use too many bits of kitchen equipment and are lovely and warming for chilly January nights. If you know me well, you may have noticed I have included MUSHROOMS in this recipe, which is…

Creamy Vegetable Curry
It’s January, usually a time for stringent dieting and new routines involving resolutions, green juice and a silly amount of kale. Hopefully this recipe will be less miserably healthy and more delicious! There’s still loads of veg involved, but it’s nice and hearty and warming, not too spicy with a silky yoghurt and coconut sauce.…

Cranberry and Apple Mince Pies
One of my favourite parts of Christmas celebrations is cooking and baking for friends and family in the couple of weeks up until the big day. I’ve been lucky enough for the past two years to have my lovely housemates to cook a Christmas meal for, which I love to do and hopefully they too…

Pumpkin, Coconut and Ginger Soup
Pumpkin always makes the silkiest soups and is a great autumnal ingredient, however if you can’t find pumpkin then any other kind of squash also works well here. I really enjoyed making this soup as it’s really easy as well as making ordinary winter veg a little more interesting by incorporating Thai flavours. Ingredients (Serves…

Chickpea, Coconut and Almond Curry
It’s been quite some time again since I’ve posted any recipes, but I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of things with the new academic year, despite it being very busy so far. I recently ate at the Trading Post Railway Carriage in Lopen (complete with new double decker bus seating area!) whilst…

Smokey Beans
Beans are a really important part of my diet, I really enjoy cooking with them and eating them and I think they are a great way to make meals more interesting. I make these smokey beans all the time, so I thought I’d share my recipe because it’s so versatile. You could eat them on…

Hummus: Three Ways
I love hummus, it’s so versatile and you can have it for every meal (I probably do this more often that I should…). Hummus also makes a great snack with crudites, pittas or even on toast. I’ve put together three alternatives to the traditional chickpea hummus that I love and that are vegetarian, vegan and…

Simple Lentil Bolognese
I’ve been really enjoying cooking my lentil bolognese this week, bolognese sauce in general reminds me of home and has become a much needed comfort food for me recently. Lentils also have a really meaty texture and take on plenty of flavour when cooked, making them the perfect candidate for a bolognese in place of…

Roasted Summer Veg with Herby Pesto Dressing
I haven’t posted a recipe in a really long time so I was really looking forward to making something new and summery to kick start my blog again. As my studying is winding down, I’ve been in a bit of a cooking rut, unsure of what to buy, where to start and what to cook. …
