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. …

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.

Energising Breakfast Ideas

For some people, breakfast can be just another morning chore. There is nothing more deflating than a bland bowl of cereal in the morning so, for me, the key is to make breakfast something you’ll actually look forward to eating. Personally I can’t function properly (especially when I’m in classes) when I havn’t at least…

Tomato, Thyme and Mozzerella Rotolo

This recipe is inspired by one of the first Jamie Oliver recipes I cooked, and it’s a really great crowd pleaser. I love the taste of sweet tomato and woody thyme, I’ve also used balsamic vinegar to cut through the flavoursome filling. Mozzerella is the perfect melting cheese, and this dish only being in the…

Brunch Beans

A perfect accompaniment to a lazy Sunday brunch or just on their own with toast and chopped parsley, these beans are versatile and delicious. I love adding Worcestershire Sauce to dishes like this, it adds a lovely savoury taste to the beans. The dried herbs and paprika are staples in much of my cooking and…
