• 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 and…

• 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 of…

• Review: River Cottage Veg Cookery Course

  

  I started the day at 9.30am with a very bumpy ride down the hill from the car park to the farm HQ in a tractor and trailer. Apparently there had been a very boozy wedding at the farm recently and it was easy to see the appeal of the location as the grey morning mist…

• Food Guide: Glastonbury 2016

  

  Anyone who is lucky enough to go to Glastonbury Festival knows that the huge variety of eclectic food stalls are second only to the festival’s musical offerings.  Once again I was one of the lucky few hundred thousand able to sample some of the amazing festival food as well as some incredible acts (almost mere…

• Roasted Summer Veg with Herby Pesto Dressing

  

  I haven’t posted a recipe in a really long time so I was really looking forward to making something new and summery to kick start my blog again.  As my studying is winding down, I’ve been in a bit of a cooking rut, unsure of what to buy, where to start and what to cook. …

• Hearty Tomato and Lentil Soup

  

  This soup is full of goodness and is great to keep portioned up in the freezer or fridge for lunches throughout a busy week.  I haven’t blended this soup because I like the texture of the lentils and tomatoes, it feels so much more nutritious when you can taste all the components of a meal. …

• Quinoa Stir Fry with Honey Sesame Cashews

  

  I don’t often cook from Asian inspirations but I’ve been reading about quinoa stir fries in foodie magazines this month and thought I’d give one a go myself.  It’s actually turned out to be really tasty (as taste tested by my scrounging housemates) and I’ll definitely be making this dish again.  I love the thinly…

• Packed Lunch Ideas: Guacamole, Salad Wraps and Cous Cous

  

  I’ve had a few requests for some simple, tasty packed lunch ideas to take to the library or to work and I’ve finally got round to creating three recipes that I hope will give you some inspiration.  I rarely pack myself a sandwich for lunch as I usually have toast at breakfast and, as much…

• Food Spot: Honey and Co

  

  I’ve been so excited to go to Honey and Co since I got the recipe book for Christmas and today I finally got to visit.  When we arrived I was surprised by how small the space was and how many people they had managed to squeeze in!  Despite being a weekday, the restaurant was busy…

• Herby Orzo Pasta Salad with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

  

  I’ve been really enjoying using orzo pasta recently, it’s a bit different to the standard pasta and pesto but not quite as rich as a risotto.  It’s satisfying but light which makes it perfect for a pasta salad.  This one is great for taking to uni, simple to make and has interesting textures which makes…
