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, but…

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.

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,…
