Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pine Nuts & Pancetta

These roasted brussel sprouts with pine nuts and crispy little bits of pancetta have kind of been a game changer for me. I’m well aware that a post about brussel sprouts may seem like a bit of a let down after sharing that chocolate orange bread wreath a few days ago. I get it, I do. Brussel sprouts are never gonna be the star of the Christmas Read Post

Chocolate Orange Bread Wreath

If you follow me on instagram or twitter, you’ve probably seen this chocolate orange bread wreath way too many times already. I can’t even apologise for that because it just needed to be shared. Guys, I think I’ve outdone myself with this one. This buttery, chocolatey baked joy, warm straight from the oven, is an absolute dream.

Moroccan Lamb Stuffed Butternut Squash

Oh heyyy delicious comfort food! There are so many good things going on in this Moroccan Lamb Stuffed Butternut Squash that I don’t even know where to begin.

Spicy Chorizo Bean Soup

I made this spicy chorizo bean soup last week but it feels pretty timely to share it today. Doesn’t it feel like winter has seriously arrived now?? Chilly days like this always have me craving proper, hearty comfort food. Add in some spicy chorizo and I’m a very happy lady!

Beetroot & Goats Cheese Lentil Salad

Let me start this post with a little story about this beetroot goats cheese lentil salad. After making it for about the millionth time a few weeks ago, I thought to myself “I should totally share this on the blog”. So, later that week, with very pink fingers (I never learn!) I shot these photos. Turns out, I’d already had that exact same thought almost 2 Read Post

Raspberry Mojito Cocktails

I promised you this raspberry mojito recipe over 2 weeks ago now and I’m finally delivering. Rejoice! It’s actually a little late since we’re right at the end of raspberry season in the UK but hey, I’d be up for drinking these all year round. A few weeks ago we discovered that there’s mint growing right outside our flat, and ever since then I’ve had Read Post

Warm Cauliflower & Tahini Salad

I am going all kinds of crazy for this roasted cauliflower tahini salad right now.  It feels like a big bowl of autumnal goodness that’s light yet comforting at the same time.

Easy Lemon Parmesan Chicken

I’m typing this up after watching Pastry Week on the Great British Bake Off. Sooo right now I’m thinking about cherry bakewell slice and pecan pinwheels way more than this lemon parmesan chicken.

Ultimate Chewy Chocolate Brownies

Despite having a LOT of cakes & desserts on this blog, brownies haven’t made an appearance until Read Post
