They were so delicious and always a favourite. And to this day I find it hard to go past a good stuffed vegetable, especially when filled with […]

Lamb & Eggplant Meatballs
Lamb and eggplant – you are a match made in Mediterranean heaven! Seriously, it is one of those combinations that just work together no matter how you pair them. When cooked together lamb and eggplant a roast, salad or pasta dish are all divine. So when I was looking to create something for an afternoon […]
Guacamole
Oh my gosh, I do love my guacamole. There is something so wonderful to sitting down with a bowl of this green goodness and scooping away. It’s the perfect snack – ready in a few minutes and full of healthiness. I love that it is chunky and textured – the tomato and coriander give it […]
Parmesan Crackers
I seriously love my cheese. All cheese. There’s no such thing as a cheese I won’t eat. And there is rarely a day when I don’t have cheese in some form or another. So it’s makes sense that I love to cook with cheese. These Parmesan Crackers tick all the boxes for me when it […]

Thai Beef Salad
I think this Thai Beef Salad might just be my new favourite salad! I was in the mood for something light and healthy, quick and easy to make and packed full of flavour. The weather was warm and a salad of sorts was really all I felt like eating. It had been a while since […]

Quick Chicken and Corn Soup
Gosh I love discovering recipes like this quick Chicken and Corn Soup. Creating something delicious out of not much is one of my favourite ways to cook!
