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 […]
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.

I’d help grate the cheese and whisk the egg mixture, guaranteed to be making more mess than was really needed! It was […]
Mustard Tart
This recipe came from a lovely French family friend many years ago. It’s been floating around in our family for close to thirty years now with my mother making it for the family and now my sisters and I all make a version of it. There is much debate between us to the layering of […]
