• Caribbean Sweet Potato and Bean Curry with Wild Rice

  

  This recipe is one I love cooking for family and friends, as it’s easier to cook in bulk. It’s based on a loose adaptation of jerk seasoning, but with veg instead of chicken, and I think it’s really delicious. You can serve this with corn, wraps, rice, yoghurt, salsa, mangoes, anything you like really! It’s…

• Simple Quesadillas

  

  I simplified one of my favourite quesadilla recipes for this post, there aren’t any extra vegetables in these which makes them really simple and easy to make. These quesadillas are almost like a mexican cheese toastie, with a few added extras! I’ve served with soured cream for a fresh taste against the cheese, onion and…

• 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!…

• Food Spot: Shake Shack

  

  I’ve been on my perfect veggie burger quest again! This week when out with friends we decided to celebrate the end of the term with a visit to Covent Garden’s Shake Shack, and I was not disappointed. The restaurant is like upmarket fast food, you choose from the menu and place your order then wait…

• 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,…

• Food Spot: Boom Burger

  

  I’ve been in a bit of a food rut recently, eating out a little more than I should and definitely not writing as much as I should! However, not long ago I visited Boom Burger in Notting Hill for lunch and looking at these photos have inspired me to start properly writing and cooking again.…

• Food Spot: Bibimbap Soho

  

  I’ve been meaning to give Bibimbap in Soho a try for a really long time, and yesterday my friend Mirabel and I finally managed to pay it a visit. The restaurant is situated just off Charing Cross Road, not too far from Chinatown and is actually not too tricky to find. We were greeted by…

• Nachos with Chipotle Sauce and Sides

  

  I love Mexican food, and nachos are one of my absolute favourite dishes. At home with my family, I would make these as part of a Mexican feast with chilli, fajitas or tacos. Away at uni I like to make these as a dish in their own right, with fresh avocado, limes, tomatoes and soured…
