• Thai Butternut Squash Skewers with Coconut Sauce and Rice

  

  It’s been ages since I’ve eaten or cooked thai food so instead of a typical green or red curry I decided to make these squash kebabs. I added a little bit of peanut butter on the squash as it roasted and a squeeze of lime to add some flavour and tie it in to the…

• Sweet Potato Kofte with Lemon, Basil and Red Pepper Quinoa

  

  I came up with this recipe in a moment of inspiration in bed this morning, I’ve been trying to use up my hoard of sweet potatoes for ages! This is a really delicious way to do that, loosely based on Jamie Oliver’s lamb kofte in flavour. I used honey and crushed sunflower seeds for texture…

• Food Spot: KERB does Alchemy – Southbank Centre

  

  On a quest to use my bank holiday weekend wisely, I decided to give the much praised Southbank centre market a try.  The eastern inspired food market is set out by hungerford bridge next to Royal Festival Hall, only a few minutes walk from my halls so I don’t quite know why I never thought…

• Pea, Feta and Spring Onion Fritters with Fresh Tomato Sauce

  

  I really enjoyed making these fritters, a little different to ones I’ve made before now as they have a slight variation in texture. These have a summer feel to them with the freshness of spring onion and pea but the tomato sauce with thyme also adds a warmth to the dish that makes it really…

• 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 restaurant…

• Superfood Burger and Fries

  

  It’s been quite some time since I’ve written a post due to exam craziness so I thought I’d make something to reward myself and ease myself back into cooking. It’s really easy to get into a funk when you’re doing exams, eating rubbish, getting out of practice with cooking and eating out way too much…

• Piri Piri Butternut Squash and Sweetcorn Quinoa

  

  I’ve been really wanting to try using quinoa in a recipe, however the mess and faff has always put me off cooking it, despite the obvious health benefits. According to BBC Good Food, Quinoa is pretty much the perfect ingredient! It has twice the protein content of other grains such as rice or barley as…

• Food Spot: The Trading Post Railway Carriage Cafe

  

  I’ve been back in Somerset for the Easter holidays and one of the things I most wanted to do was eat at the Trading Post’s Railway Carriage Cafe. Situated to the side of the farm shop, this cafe is, as it says, in the carriage of an old fashioned train. There are a few booth-type…

• 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…

• 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…
