• Pea, Feta and Spring Onion Fritters with Fresh Tomato Sauce

  

  I really enjoyed making these fritters, a little different to ones I’ve made before now as they have a slight variation in texture. These have a summer feel to them with the freshness of spring onion and pea but the tomato sauce with thyme also adds a warmth to the dish that makes it really…

• Piri Piri Butternut Squash and Sweetcorn Quinoa

  

  I’ve been really wanting to try using quinoa in a recipe, however the mess and faff has always put me off cooking it, despite the obvious health benefits. According to BBC Good Food, Quinoa is pretty much the perfect ingredient! It has twice the protein content of other grains such as rice or barley as…

• Weekday Meal: Spiced Pea and Bean Potato Cakes with Yoghurt Dip

  

  I love making fritters and potato cakes like this, they’re so easy and can be made with all types of beans and vegetables. So if you get a chance, play around with flavours and whatever you have in your cupboards, you might just create something really tasty! I’ve used a spice mix that I bought…

• Roasted Tomato Soup with Pesto and Parmesan Toasts

  

  I’ve never made tomato soup before and I had a real craving for it yesterday morning, so I thought I would give it a go! I also decided to try and make it a little more interesting than just having ordinary bread by making some little pesto and parmesan toasts, with homemade garden herb pesto!…

• Weekday Meal: Chilli Bowl with Chunky Sweet Potato and Avocado

  

    This dish is really easy to make, and although it’s not as quick as some of my others it’s worth the extra cooking time to get the beans tender and the potatoes nice and fluffy. The chilli is also unbelievably good for you, and it doesn’t even look like rabbit food! You have tomatoes,…

• Lemony Pesto Pasta with Roasted Veg and Feta

  

  I felt like making something a little more spring-like this week, so I’ve tried to include more fresh flavours with my winter favourites. It’s still not quite warm enough yet to let go of roasted veg and comforting pasta dishes, but I love using lemon and feta alongside these more seasonal ingredients for a perfect…

• Chickpea and Carrot Tagine with Orange Rice

  

  When the weather is cold and miserable in London, sometimes there’s nothing better than a hot, spicy stew to warm everything up. This one is inspired by Moroccan tagines, using a sweet and spicy tomato sauce and filling chickpeas and carrots, served with a fresh, orange rice. This recipe does take a little longer to…
