​ Mixed Potato Spanish Tortilla

​For many many years a proper Spanish tortilla has been one of my absolute favourite dishes. It’s the dish that got me to like eggs. In my early years I really vehemently hated eggs, even now I only like them in scrambled or omelette form, I can’t eat the whites and the yolks separately (I…

Gluten-free Chocolate, Courgette & Pumpkin Seed Loaf

I’m a huge fan of vegetables and I’ve always been one to stuff as many as possible into most of my meals. It goes without saying that the trend for vegetable cakes is right up my street. All of the vegetable cakes I’ve tried making have turned out really moist and delicious and you can’t…

Pancakes with Lemon & Sugar

Happy Pancake Day everybody!!!! I know I’m a bit late to jump on the bandwagon today but I had to work late and my pancakes were a very rushed affair, so it’s good job they’re so quick and easy to make! You’ve probably all made and demolished all your pancakes by now, but there’s no…
