Remember when I mentioned that I wanted to get excited about kale? I wasn’t even kidding! I promise I’m not about to turn into some kind of hipster health food blogger. I did just put gin in ice lollies and encourage triple chocolate cookie consumption, after all. But, I am currently experiencing unprecedented levels of excitement about leafy greens so that should tell you something. Let’s start Read Post
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus + Poached Egg
I mentioned how excited I am about asparagus season a couple of posts ago whilst raving about this chopped chicken bacon salad. Well, asparagus season’s still here and I’m still excited! Mainly because I feel like I’ve discovered a food combination that was just meant to be in this prosciutto wrapped asparagus. FYI, food is about the only thing I’ll ever talk about being meant Read Post
Chopped Chicken Bacon Salad with Grilled Asparagus
After a couple of weeks of relying on chocolate and biscuits to relieve exam stress, I’m feeling like treating my body to some slightly more nutritious food. It’s also the start of asparagus season which makes me seriously H A P P Y. Every time I eat asparagus I remember how much I love it & wonder why I don’t eat well all the time. Then Read Post
Paprika Chicken Burrito Bowls
I’m becoming mildly obsessed with all things Mexican lately. These paprika chicken burrito bowls allow me to indulge this obsession without suffering a food coma afterwards. They’re also pretty quick and easy to put together which I’m loving at the moment as I’m knee-deep in exam fear and cooking can easily turn into 3 hours of procrastination 😉 If you’re wondering exactly what a burrito Read Post
Sweet Potato Gnocchi + Red Wine Balsamic Jus
Isn’t it funny how ‘jus’ sounds infinitely fancier than ‘sauce’. I promise I’m not just being super pretentious here – this red wine balsamic jus has quite a thin consistency and I wouldn’t want to disappoint anybody looking for a thick sauce. Anyway, pretentious foodie words aside, let’s talk gnocchi! For years I hated the stuff – any I’d tried was heavy, dense and stodgy. That Read Post
Teriyaki Glazed Prawns + Sesame Noodles
I almost didn’t share this post because I was worried it was a little too simple – both the photos and the dish itself. But hey, sometimes simple is good. If a tasty meal that can be knocked up in 10 minutes is wrong then I don’t want to be right. OK, that was cheesy. I’ll stop… Let’s get straight to the point. There’s nothing fancy Read Post
Homemade Fish Pie
Before we get to this homemade fish pie, can we talk about how freezing it is!? I swear the further into the year we get, the colder and more wintery it becomes! Spring should be almost within my grasp but it feels so far away right now. Anyway, instead of moaning about the weather (just kidding, I’ve been doing plenty of complaining, too!) I’m being Read Post
Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Beef
I’m going to be honest, I’m equal parts excited about this slow cooker thai peanut beef and the cuuuute little Le Creuset casserole dish it’s served in. That’s right kids, I love kitchenware almost as much as I love food! Approximately 3 minutes after unwrapping it I took to instagram and twitter to share my joy, because what’s the point in pretty things if you can’t Read Post
Roasted Cauliflower Salad
This salad right here has been an absolute revelation to me. I’m a big cauliflower fan (gimme aaaall the cauliflower cheese) but I’ve never tried cooking it like this before. If you haven’t either, give this roasted cauliflower salad a go! There are two key steps to making this warm salad super satisfying. Firstly, blitzing the cauliflower + broccoli into tiny little bits gives it a Read Post
Mustard Herb Crusted Salmon
This mustard herb crusted salmon was a quick one I rustled up for dinner a couple of nights ago. I had a couple of salmon fillets in the fridge and fancied something a little more exciting than our usual plain grilled salmon. The herby topping was made in about two minutes with a few ingredients I had to hand whizzed together in my processor. And Read Post
