Nectarine, Blueberry and Mascarpone Pancakes
It’s nearly pancake day! I really enjoy pancake day, its a nice way to brighten up a gloomy February and use up a few things lying around in your cupboards. These pancakes are a departure from my usual crepe style pancake with lemon and sugar, but they are delicious, colourful and good fun to make.…

Ras el Hanout Roasted Cauliflower and Cous Cous Salad
This month I’ve been particularly enjoying cooking with cauliflower, it’s meaty in texture and really versatile. Back in July whilst on my River Cottage veg course I made some pan fried muergez cauliflower that I absolutely loved, but since then I’ve somewhat neglected this tasty veg in favour of pumpkins, squash and courgettes. However, I’ve…

Lemon, Basil and Courgette Tagliatelle
This recipe is really quick and easy, perfect for a midweek dinner. I love the courgette and lemon combination, although you may have trouble getting the courgettes needed for this recipe due to the Spanish vegetable crisis! This is also a really easy recipe to make for one, a whole courgette seems like a lot…

Cheddar and Leek Risotto
Risotto is a lovely, comforting dish to cook in colder months. This one is a little bit ‘Nigel Slater’ inspired, using mostly traditionally British ingredients such as onions, leeks, cheddar and chives for a lovely creamy risotto. You can use the basic recipe of butter, oil, rice, celery, onion and cheese as a base for…

Vegetable Goulash
One-pot casserole dishes are one of my favourite things to cook on a busy weeknight. They are easy to make, don’t use too many bits of kitchen equipment and are lovely and warming for chilly January nights. If you know me well, you may have noticed I have included MUSHROOMS in this recipe, which is…

Creamy Vegetable Curry
It’s January, usually a time for stringent dieting and new routines involving resolutions, green juice and a silly amount of kale. Hopefully this recipe will be less miserably healthy and more delicious! There’s still loads of veg involved, but it’s nice and hearty and warming, not too spicy with a silky yoghurt and coconut sauce.…

Cranberry and Apple Mince Pies
One of my favourite parts of Christmas celebrations is cooking and baking for friends and family in the couple of weeks up until the big day. I’ve been lucky enough for the past two years to have my lovely housemates to cook a Christmas meal for, which I love to do and hopefully they too…

Chickpea, Coconut and Almond Curry
It’s been quite some time again since I’ve posted any recipes, but I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of things with the new academic year, despite it being very busy so far. I recently ate at the Trading Post Railway Carriage in Lopen (complete with new double decker bus seating area!) whilst…

Smokey Beans
Beans are a really important part of my diet, I really enjoy cooking with them and eating them and I think they are a great way to make meals more interesting. I make these smokey beans all the time, so I thought I’d share my recipe because it’s so versatile. You could eat them on…

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…
