Baked Salmon + White Wine Cream Sauce

Heeey, it’s been a while hasn’t it? Every time exams come rolling around I promise myself I’m going to be mega organised and have posts scheduled but I think it’s high time I accepted that I am just not that person. Soz guys. Anyway, time for food! This baked salmon recipe is one that I made as part of the Waitrose eating organic challenge so Read Post

Red Wine Lamb Ragu

Sometimes, after a long day, the only thing that will suffice is comfort food. Good, carb-heavy, rich comfort food. This spaghetti topped with red wine lamb ragu is exactly the kind of thing that hits that spot. This saucy, meaty dish is kind of like an upgrade on regular bolognese. Lamb has a much more robust flavour than beef, which means it stands up well to the Read Post

Kale Cauliflower Cheese

Today in “how to make a superfood super unhealthy”: smother it in cheese! Heh, I’m joking, I’m joking. This kale cauliflower cheese is actually one of my favourite healthier alternatives to mac n cheese. It’s got all the cheesy indulgence of the classic but with more veg & less stodge. Meaning there’s plenty room left over for dessert 😉 This recipe is one that I made Read Post

Smoked Haddock Sweet Potato Hash

This, my friends, is the ultimate feel-good comfort food. Soft sweet potato, smoky haddock and an oozy egg for extra indulgence. This smoked haddock sweet potato hash ticks all the boxes: packed full of veg + protein to fuel your body, light yet filling and – most importantly – delicious! We absolutely devoured it (seriously, it was gone in about 5 minutes!) for dinner a Read Post

Chicken Chorizo Tacos + Avocado Salsa

If it were possible for a type of food to be your soulmate, Mexican would be mine. Honestly, I’m never not in the mood for Mexican! When I’m struggling for inspiration and want something relatively easy to knock together, it always wins out. These chicken chorizo tacos are my latest dinner obsession. If you’ve got a well stocked spice rack, the spice mix is quick Read Post

Cherry Amaretto Ice Cream

Hey there, it’s been a while eh? The past few weeks I’ve had an unintended break from blogging which has actually been kinda great. Don’t get me wrong, I love this little space but I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself and it can all get a bit intense sometimes. Spending less time on social media and more time catching up with friends has done me Read Post

Tirokafteri – Spicy Feta Dip

Hello! Today I’m sharing a recipe from slightly further afield as part of the Jet2 Holidays Country Cuisine Challenge. The aim is to get creative with a recipe inspired by a popular holiday destination. I’m always looking to mix things up a bit in the kitchen so this presented the perfect opportunity to try my hand at a new cuisine! For my destination I chose Kefalonia, one of the Read Post

We’re celebrating with a Chocolate Coconut Layer Cake aka the Greatest Cake Ever 3. We’re also celebrating with a giveaway of some of my favourite foodie things! Let’s start with the cake. Guys, I think this may Read Post

Homemade Roasted Garlic Butter

Have I ever told you how much I love garlic? It’s basically my favourite flavour in the entire world – I add it to about 90% of the meals I cook. Not even an exaggeration, folks! This roasted garlic butter is basically all my garlicky dreams come true! If you’ve never roasted garlic before, you’re in for a treat. Drizzled in olive oil and popped in Read Post

Mini Coconut Lime Loaves

Oh little cake loaves, you are my favourite. Since making mini gingerbread loaves a few months ago I’ve been on a mission to make miniature everything. Usually when baking I’m all about super indulgent, sticky sweet stuff – think chocolate, caramel & peanut butter. These mini coconut lime loaves, on the other hand, are full of tropical summery flavours. Ya know, so you can at least pretend we’re Read Post
