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,…

Carrot and Freekeh Salad
I love freekeh, it’s a really tasty alternative to rice or cous cous and enhances the middle eastern vibe in any dish. It is made from green wheat and has amazing fiberous properties. I’ve used a lovely combination of warming spices, lemon and garlic to make the marinade for the carrots, the lemon especially brings…

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.

I’ve made three of my favourites, all different styles and flavours to go with a variety of salads. The fruity, zesty Asian dressing…

Autumn Cookies
Even though it’s only September, I can’t help but be secretly excited to be hiding away in a jumper again! As the chilly evenings draw in and twilight comes a little earlier, these cookies are perfect for the season’s change. Adapted from one of my favourite oat and raisin cookie recipe, the addition of nuts,…

Tikka Chickpea and Spinach Pittas with Quinoa
I’ve never really used a ready made curry paste before, but I saw these when I was working and thought I would give it a go! The mini pittas I’ve used are really sweet and perfect for this sort of meal/snack, but if you can’t find them then just cut large pitta breads in half.…

Berry Ripple Sundae
Apologies for the little break in posting, it’s been a pretty busy summer so far! The sunny weather today inspired me to make this beachy, summer berry ripple sundae, perfect for BBQs. I’ve used thick, Greek yoghurt and frozen berries for a fresh take on a traditional ice cream sundae! I really love the mix…
