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.
Halloumi & Kiwifruit Summer Salad
The inspiration for this recipe comes from a rather unlikely place: Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Now, you may have noticed that this halloumi & kiwifruit summer salad doesn’t involve burgers. Obviously.
Pan Fried Venison + Blackberry Sauce
Hellooo, I hope everybody survived their first post-Christmas week of normality? I don’t think my body has quite adjusted to getting up early and not eating chocolate at regular intervals, but we’ll get there 😉 This is the first time I’ve featured pan fried venison (or any other kind of steak) on the blog, mainly because it is almost impossible to cook, plate and photograph Read Post
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
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
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
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
Caramelised Red Onion Chutney
Today’s post is brought to you by streaming eyes and a vow never to chop 15 onions in one go ever again! I hate to say it but I was almost defeated by this caramelised red onion chutney! The inspiration for this recipe comes from Barber’s 1833, who kindly sent me some of their vintage reserve mature cheddar cheese to try. If you’re a regular reader you’ll Read Post
Homemade Naan Bread
For approximately the past 2 years I’ve been vocalising my intention to attempt homemade naan bread, and every time I’ve decided it sounds hard and dismissed the idea. Well, after yet another mediocre shop bought naan I finally decided enough was enough. Beautifully soft, chewy freshly made naan bread is no longer reserved for takeaways and restaurants, my friends! I’m going to go ahead and assume Read Post
Chorizo Scrambled Eggs
Let’s talk about eggs. Eggs are one of my favourite foods – they’re versatile, tasty and packed full of healthy stuff. And these chorizo scrambled eggs tossed with crispy, crushed tortilla chips are my current favourite incarnation. You might have guessed by now that I’m aaall about breakfast foods. Gimme pancakes for breakfast, eggs for lunch and waffles for dinner. Breakfast food is best eaten any Read Post
