Chorizo and Black Beans
The first version of this dish came about when we were having a South American inspired feast for a New Years Eve gathering. I wanted a side that wasn’t just a salad to go along with all the meat that was planned. I knew I wanted black beans in the dish somewhere as well as […]
Finger Food
Pork Gyoza
I started making gyoza after discovering them at a Wagamama restaurant in London. Since then they have featured with regularity in my repertoire, especially when doing an Asian inspired finger food spread. They also make a delicious light meal on a Friday night, washed down with a cold beer. I find the process of making […]

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 […]

Haloumi and Greens Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette
I’m starting to think that this Haloumi and Greens Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette might just be my new favourite thing. It’s one of those dishes that is fantastic in its simplicity.

Healthy Beef Chow Mein
Who knew there was such a thing as a Healthy Beef Chow Mein? I certainly didn’t! I think of loads of slippery noodles in a rich and slightly sweet sauce. Something a little bit naughty. But when I was asked to come up with a lighter version, I saw it as a bit of a […]
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 […]
Mexican Chicken Soup

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! It came about when I was trying to eat down the fridge without shopping prior to going on holidays. The fridge was looking pretty bleak by this stage. […]
Roast Pumpkin and Sage Soup
Now I have to admit something. I don’t like pumpkin. I really don’t It’s one of those vegetables that I find too sweet, especially when roasted. So it rarely makes an appearance in our house, even though hubby just loves it. However I do make a mean pumpkin soup and my Roast Pumpkin and Sage […]
