This month I’ve been particularly enjoying cooking with cauliflower, it’s meaty in texture and really versatile. Back in July whilst on my River Cottage veg course I made some pan fried muergez cauliflower that I absolutely loved, but since then I’ve somewhat neglected this tasty veg in favour of pumpkins, squash and courgettes. However, I’veContinue reading “Ras el Hanout Roasted Cauliflower and Cous Cous Salad”

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.Continue reading “Creamy Vegetable Curry”
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 (ServesContinue reading “Pumpkin, Coconut and Ginger Soup”
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. Continue reading “Roasted Summer Veg with Herby Pesto Dressing”
Hearty Tomato and Lentil Soup
This soup is full of goodness and is great to keep portioned up in the freezer or fridge for lunches throughout a busy week. I haven’t blended this soup because I like the texture of the lentils and tomatoes, it feels so much more nutritious when you can taste all the components of a meal. Continue reading “Hearty Tomato and Lentil Soup”
Packed Lunch Ideas: Guacamole, Salad Wraps and Cous Cous
I’ve had a few requests for some simple, tasty packed lunch ideas to take to the library or to work and I’ve finally got round to creating three recipes that I hope will give you some inspiration.

Butternut Squash and Red Pepper Tart with Feta and Thyme
I’ve had a butternut squash in my fridge for far too long and was struggling to think of something more interesting than a soup to use it up, so I came up with this tasty tart recipe that will last me a few days of lunches over the next week. I love the base sauceContinue reading “Butternut Squash and Red Pepper Tart with Feta and Thyme”
Herby Orzo Pasta Salad with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
I’ve been really enjoying using orzo pasta recently, it’s a bit different to the standard pasta and pesto but not quite as rich as a risotto. It’s satisfying but light which makes it perfect for a pasta salad. This one is great for taking to uni, simple to make and has interesting textures which makesContinue reading “Herby Orzo Pasta Salad with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds”
Roasted Sweet Pepper, French Bean and Garlic with Honey and Lemon Dressing
Happy New Year! The start of a new year requires new recipes and I hope this tasty dish is the first of many. You also may notice that my blog looks a little different to the last time I posted and I hope you like the new theme as much as I do. You canContinue reading “Roasted Sweet Pepper, French Bean and Garlic with Honey and Lemon Dressing”
Curried Winter Veg with Feta
It’s the perfect season at the moment for winter veg like squash, swede and parsnip. One of my favourite ways to have these tasty veg is curried in a salad or, once roasted, whizzed up into a chunky soup with yoghurt and bread. The robust curry flavours work so well against mild flavoured root veg,Continue reading “Curried Winter Veg with Feta”
