Salmon with Pesto and Couscous Salad
This salmon with pesto and couscous salad is a real treat. It is light and fresh, packed full of flavour and so quick to make. It is a perfect midweek dish but feels like a treat to eat. And any leftover couscous salad makes for a perfect lunch the next day. I like to make […]
Mummy Muesli
I love muesli. I always have. But I don’t really love a lot of the dried fruit you find in store bought muesli such as sultanas and raisins. So I’ve spent a lot of years picking things out of my muesli every morning. Until I started making my own that is. I discovered home made […]
Sous Vide Beef Fillet
Sous vide cooking is a fairly new discovery for me and what a great discovery it has been! It’s quite a simple way to cook and the end result gives a texture that is quite unique. And the protein in perfectly cooked each time – it’s virtually impossible to overcook things this way! I have […]
Scallops with a Rocket Apple and Bacon Salad
For those that have been checking out my recipes for a while, you have probably worked out that I love scallops and bacon. And here is another recipe that features both – Scallops with a rocket apple and bacon salad. It’s soooo simple to make and amazingly delicious. It really has a bit of everything. […]
Banana Date and Pepita Bread
I get excited when I find a few overripe bananas lurking in my fruit bowl. Because it invariably means it’s time to make a banana bread of some kind – hooray! There are so many variations to a banana bread from a simple loaf right through to something more decadent filled with all manner of […]
Scallops with Saffron Risotto and Bacon
I love scallops. To me they are a decadent and delicious offering from the sea. When perfectly cooked, they really are hard to beat. Seared on the outside and cooked til just translucent in the middle….it’s the only way to have them. And they pair with so many different flavours. Nothing too strong though otherwise […]
Chocolate Salted Caramel Macadamia Tart
I have recently re-discovered the joy of chocolate and caramel as a flavour combination. Whilst not having a sweet tooth, I find myself drawn to an old school choc caramel slice or a cho caramel tart. When I saw a recipe for a chocolate salted caramel macadamia tart, I knew I had to give it […]
Kale and Sausage Pasta
This kale and sausage pasta dish came about almost by accident. When I started cooking, I was planning a completely different pasta dish, something full of bacon and kale with loads of Parmesan and a rich creamy sauce. But I was feeling creative and in need of a something healthier so found myself cooking this […]
French Onion Soup
French Onion Soup is a classic soup for good reason. It is a soup that is full of flavour and packed with winter warmth. Simple to make and comforting to eat it is one that I crave once the weather turns cool. For some reason, I associate french onion soup with the snow. I have […]
Warm Quinoa Cauliflower and Kale Salad
Just last weekend we got back from a week’s holiday. We got in late on the Sunday night. Then Monday was a busy day of getting organised and back into routine. Somehow a trip to the supermarket didn’t quite make it into the days plan. Dinner was looking very bleak depending on what the fridge […]
