Marvellous Mud Crabs
Mud crabs would probably have to be my most favourite seafood. I love how succulent and sweet they are. And they are fun to eat, picking all that delectable meat from the shells. But they are so expensive that to buy them is a huge treat. Thankfully there are muddies around in the waters near […]
Finger Food
Jamon, Artichoke & Manchego Empanadas
When I started thinking about my recent Spanish Feast, I knew that Empanadas were required as part of the menu. There is something so moreish about them, with their crisp flaky pastry goodness. What’s better than a little bite or two of pastry filled with savoury goodness? Not much I reckon! I pondered quite a […]
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 […]
Vodka & Beetroot Cured Salmon
Salmon would have to be one of my favourite fish. I love that it can be prepared in so many different ways – raw, baked, barbequed, pan-fried, sous vide, smoked or steamed just to name a few. And let’s not forget about cured salmon. It is so fresh and light and intense salmon flavour is […]

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. It combines so many of my favourite things to eat – haloumi, pesto, macadamias and broccolini. It’s quick and easy to make. And it’s […]
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
You may have noticed I’m rather fond of simple Mexican flavours. Be it my Healthy Taco Bowl, my Chicken Fajitas or my Taco Bowl Soup I really love the flavours from that part of the world. And this Mexican Chicken Soup is a treasure to go into that category! There is so much to love […]
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 […]
