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
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
Black Olive Tapenade
Putting this black olive tapenade recipe together has completely made me long for never ending summer days. This is the kind of food that deserves to be enjoyed sitting in the sunshine with a large glass of wine. Sadly it’ll be a good few months before that becomes a reality! If you follow me on facebook or instagram you might have seen me sharing a quick snap of 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
Homemade Brioche Burger Buns
Who’s ready to have their kitchen filled with the sweet scent of homemade brioche burger buns?? My first foray into baking with yeast was sort of thrust upon me after agreeing to bake something along with the Great British Bake Off them each week. I made cinnamon rolls, which turned out to be both easy and delicious. I know that a lot of people (myself Read Post
Lemon + Garlic Roasted Green Beans
Until recently I always thought I didn’t like green beans. I’d only ever had them boiled, which I find only serves to make them slimy and bland – ugh. Roasted green beans, on the other hand, are a beautiful thing. Roasting allows you to easily add seasonings and gives them a slightly crisp texture. These lemon + garlic roasted green beans make a great side dish for just Read Post
Peri Peri Cauliflower Bites + Garlic Dip
You know when you eat something that’s so tasty and satisfying that you can’t possibly believe it’s anything other than horrendously bad for you? Well, I had one of those moments after making these little bites of goodness a few days ago. I don’t mean to blow my own trumpet too much but these sticky, spicy cauliflower bites are seriously incredible, especially considering that they’re 99% veggies. Read Post
Cocoa Peanut Butter Energy Bites
Today I’m sharing a bit of a healthier snack for you. These little energy bites are packed full of good stuff and are great for satisfying a sweet tooth without putting you into a sugar coma (something that’s becoming a little too regular an occurence lately!). The dates make these beautifully fudgy and sweet, exactly how I like my healthy snacks 😉 I’ve kept it quite light Read Post
Rocket & Basil Pesto
With all the Great Blogger Bake Off fun that’s been going on here lately you’d be forgiven for thinking that I spend my life eating cakes and pastries, but believe it or not I’m just as big a fan of savoury cooking too. This rocket and basil pesto has been a kitchen staple recently – it’s so quick and easy to put together and can Read Post
