Mushroom bolognese

This recipe is a super quick and easy alternative to the usual beefy bolognese. You can use whatever mushrooms you can get your hands on, or you could even use lentils and dried basil for a total storecupboard meal. If you’re lacking ideas I’ve also added some extra recipes at the end for some bolognese-yContinue reading “Mushroom bolognese”

Za’atar stuffed tomatoes with minty yoghurt

It’s amazing what you can make with the ingredients at the back of your fridge. I bought these tomatoes for a curry and I didn’t just want to make a standard pasta sauce with them- and then these stuffed tomatoes were born! I love the savouriness of these plump parcels, the filling is almost meatyContinue reading “Za’atar stuffed tomatoes with minty yoghurt”

Glastonbury Food Guide 2017

Another year, another Glastonbury Festival food guide. This year’s edition features both new and old favourites, from spicy Thai and paella to pie and mash. Although this year’s festival was missing a few classics (namely Yeo Valley Yoghurt and the much missed Tapas breakfast), I still managed to scout out some tasty new dishes. NewContinue reading “Glastonbury Food Guide 2017”

Library Lunches

Recently I’ve been really enjoying making tasty lunches to take to the library. It makes such a difference to my lunch break (and my finances…) when I have a delicious pasta salad or homemade soup to look forward to, instead of heading to the nearest Pret. These recipes are easy to make in batches forContinue reading “Library Lunches”

Hummus: Three Ways

I love hummus, it’s so versatile and you can have it for every meal (I probably do this more often that I should…).  Hummus also makes a great snack with crudites, pittas or even on toast.  I’ve put together three alternatives to the traditional chickpea hummus that I love and that are vegetarian, vegan andContinue reading “Hummus: Three Ways”

Simple Lentil Bolognese

I’ve been really enjoying cooking my lentil bolognese this week, bolognese sauce in general reminds me of home and has become a much needed comfort food for me recently.  Lentils also have a really meaty texture and take on plenty of flavour when cooked, making them the perfect candidate for a bolognese in place ofContinue reading “Simple Lentil Bolognese”

Three Great Salad Dressings

When it comes to eating healthily, salads can be pretty uninspiring and bland.  So a good salad dressing can make all the difference and maybe even help you to make healthier choices! I’ve made three of my favourites, all different styles and flavours to go with a variety of salads. The fruity, zesty Asian dressingContinue reading “Three Great Salad Dressings”

Food Spot: Grain Store

This was a real treat for me, having just finished my exams I wanted to celebrate so decided to pay a trip to the highly praised Grain Store for some lunch. Grain Store lies a rather uninspiring five minute walk fro King’s Cross Station in Granary Square close to industrial looking UAL buildings. The restaurantContinue reading “Food Spot: Grain Store”
