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 […]
Spanakopita Swirls
I love these Spanakopita Swirls. To me, they are the perfect savoury finger food treat. The flaky pastry gives amazing crunch and the flavours inside – just delicious! Now I’m sure they are nowhere close to being a traditional version of Spanakopita Swirls but that’s ok too. It’s my version and I love it! They […]
Tzatziki
Tzatziki is a delicious dip that is utilised in so many recipes. It is amazing on its own eaten with veggie sticks, pita bread or crackers. Or it can provide a lovely cooling balance to a rich roast lamb. And it provides a delicious sauce on a wrap with just about any filling. Plus it makes […]

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!
