Luna Mexican Kitchen, San Jose

If you’ve been following me on Instagram you may have noticed that I spend quite a bit of time travelling to California for work. It’s a long way to go but also a fantastic opportunity for me to find some great new places to eat! Quite often we go out for large team dinners at…

Vegetarian January

Spurred on by the over-indulgence of Christmas, and a desire to generally be a better person in January, I felt a little bit of a detox was in order. Veganuary is all the rage this year and I can’t log into social media without seeing or reading something about it. However, I’ve never been that…

Puy Lentil, Cauliflower & Halloumi Salad

Lately I’ve been trying to cut back on the amount of meat I eat. I’ve always toyed with the idea of going fully vegeterian because I love vegetables in all their glorious forms but, to be honest, my heart’s not in it. Human’s didn’t evolve as herbivores, we evolved as omnivores, and unless there’s a…

Tried & Tested: Fearne Cotton’s Courgette, Beetroot, Avocado & Pesto Salad

Last Christmas I received as a gift Fearne Cotton’s first cook book, Cook Happy, Cook Healthy, and it’s taken me so long to to get round to making something from it she’s only gone and released another one in the meantime! Before I rush out and buy her second book I thought I probably ought…

Breakfast Quesadilla

I’m forever looking for yummy weekend breakfast ideas that don’t involve a fry up. I feel like breakfast at the weekends should be a bit of a treat as Monday to Friday I barely have enough time to wolf down half a bowl of cereal before I’m out the door. However, one can’t be having…

BBQ Leftover Mediterranean Salad Lunchbox

I haven’t done a lunchbox for a little while, partly because out of laziness I’ve not been taking a packed lunch every day and have made quite a few trips to Pret/EAT at lunchtime of late, but also because when I have been making packed lunches they’ve been a bit repetitive and the same as…

Ham, Avocado & Blue Cheese Wrap Lunchbox

This is a really good tasty ‘store cupboard’ lunch. It just goes to show if you’re going to start making wraps you don’t really need to go and buy loads of fancy things you wouldn’t normally buy to have as fillings, you’ve got plenty of tasty stuff in your fridge already. Okay, so I may…

Ham & Avocado Salad with Pesto Mayonnaise Lunchbox

The Saucepot’s Lunchbox is back! Apologies for the silence of late. My kitchen has been undergoing a complete overhaul and it’s been fairly impossible to cook and/or prepare any food, but we are now back in working order and back to business as usual! Quite frankly I’m relieved, I was getting fed up of takeaways…

Crab & Avocado Lunchbox

As many of you will know, working a busy commuter’s lifestyle can make it difficult to keep up a good routine with what you eat. I work in the middle of Soho surrounded by lots of lovely restaurants and cafes which makes it so easy to go out and buy something indulgent and delicious every…
