There’s no better excuse for baking than terrible weather. Given the choice, on any rainy day (and there are lots in Wales) I’d batten down the hatches, stick on a 90s rom-com and bake. This time, I decided to take inspiration from an old bake-off episode and reinvent some lemon and white chocolate shortbread. IContinue reading “Lemon, white chocolate and pistachio shortbread”

Spaghetti with cavolo nero, chestnuts and ricotta
This is the kind of dinner you can knock up in about 15 minutes – it’s really easy and, most importantly, delicious. It’s also a nice way to eat more greens – which can prove difficult when it’s cold and all you want to eat is potatoes! I love the ricotta in this recipe, butContinue reading “Spaghetti with cavolo nero, chestnuts and ricotta”
Lemon, honey and thyme polenta cake
This recipe is loosely based on Jamie Oliver’s five ingredient orange and polenta cake from his new TV show, Jamie’s Quick and Easy Food. I’ve been trialling a few recipes from the current series and I’ve so far found them to be really quite good. I’ve adapted this one to include lemon and thyme insteadContinue reading “Lemon, honey and thyme polenta cake”

Lemon, Basil and Courgette Tagliatelle
This recipe is really quick and easy, perfect for a midweek dinner. I love the courgette and lemon combination, although you may have trouble getting the courgettes needed for this recipe due to the Spanish vegetable crisis!

Energising Breakfast Ideas
For some people, breakfast can be just another morning chore. There is nothing more deflating than a bland bowl of cereal in the morning so, for me, the key is to make breakfast something you’ll actually look forward to eating. Personally I can’t function properly (especially when I’m in classes) when I havn’t at leastContinue reading “Energising Breakfast Ideas”
Sweet Potato Kofte with Lemon, Basil and Red Pepper Quinoa
I came up with this recipe in a moment of inspiration in bed this morning, I’ve been trying to use up my hoard of sweet potatoes for ages! This is a really delicious way to do that, loosely based on Jamie Oliver’s lamb kofte in flavour. I used honey and crushed sunflower seeds for textureContinue reading “Sweet Potato Kofte with Lemon, Basil and Red Pepper Quinoa”
Parsley and Harissa Puy Lentil Bowl
I was looking for something really quick and easy to make for lunch a few days ago, and I decided to give microwavable puy lentils a try. The ones I’ve used are in a pouch, and can be microwaved or pan fried for two minutes, so are really convenient compared to dried lentils. Although puyContinue reading “Parsley and Harissa Puy Lentil Bowl”
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 perfectContinue reading “Lemony Pesto Pasta with Roasted Veg and Feta”
