Salmon Noodle Bowl with Green Thai Broth

Green Thai curry is absolutely one of my favourite flavours of all the smorgasbord that is Asian cuisine. I’ve made more green chicken curries than I can remember but I wanted to use salmon this time and I wanted to make it a bit lighter. I’ve made a few Thai curry soup type dishes before…

Tried & Tested – Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Broccoli and Garlic Sage Butter Sauce from Pinch of Yum

Ever since childhood pasta has been my absolute favourite. I fell in love with the stuff the first time my Mum ever put a bowl of spaghetti in front of me and a lifelong love affair has ensued. Pasta with pesto was the first thing I really learned to cook for myself as a teenager…

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…

Cheddar, Bacon & Broccoli Savoury Cupcakes

When you think of baking, usually images of Victoria Sponges, fondant fancies and colourful Battenbergs spring to mind. However, my favourite challenges on The Great British Bake Off are always when they get to make something savoury. I just find it a bit more exciting. I think it takes a little more imagination to come…

Roasted Broccoli & Sweet Potato Salad with Tarragon Dressing

I cannot remember where I originally got this recipe from. It’s one of those things that I jotted down because it looked good, cooked from my notes and have made a few times and developed slightly with each one. It’s been popular in my house as I often steam green veg to go on the…

Mustard Chicken Pasta

I’d like to introduce you to one of my new favourite midweek meals, mustard chicken pasta. I’m a bit fed up of my usual go-to pasta dinner, pesto plus any veggies and cooked meats or fish I have in the fridge. It’s a great quick and easy dinner and seriously scrummy but I am definitely…

Broccoli & Stilton Soup

Let’s face it we all live very busy lives and many of us work long hours and there’s not always time to do loads of cooking in the evenings when you’ve also got washing to sort out, cleaning to do etc. Sometimes you just can’t beat the convenience of a ready meal. However, your ready…

Salmon & Feta Pasta

For me, nothing make’s a better midweek dinner than a delicious bowl of pasta. It’s the ultimate fast food. It can be easy to get stuck in a rut of adding the same old ingredients over and over again though (I’m a massive pesto fiend) so I try as much as possible to mix it…

Lemon & Herb Spatchcock Chicken with Spring Greens

Sometimes the best dinners are the simplest. We can be quick to dismiss chicken as boring and plain but it’s one of those things that when cooked well can be truly absolutely delicious. A good roast chicken reminds us all of Sunday dinners cooked by our Mum/Nan and you forget how much you love it…

Smoked Haddock Chowder

Whilst a chowder may sound like the sort of meal that might take ages to prep or be a bit complicated I actually find it a really great meal to make when I’ve got a nice bit of fish in and I want to use up some veg and potatoes. It’s actually pretty simple to…
