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…

Vegan Courgetti Pad Thai

As regular readers of this blog will know, I am an avid lover of vegetables, and always have been. I was the strange child that asked for a second helping of brussel sprouts at Sunday dinner. There’s a huge movement towards veganism and plant based eating in today’s society and whilst I can’t see myself…

Moroccan Spiced Lamb Shanks with Chickpeas

When I do a weekend shop and I haven’t quite decided what I want to cook sometimes I’ll go along to the supermarket, see what’s on sale or special offer and base my Sunday lunch around what I find. A great place to look for bargains is in the reduced section. A lot of meat…

Angels with Bagpipes, The Royal Mile, Edinburgh

The Boyfriend and I always like do do something every year to mark the date we went on our first ever date and since this year marked five years we decided to go the extra mile and had a little mini break in Edinburgh. I will write another post about that later but first I…

Aubergine, Sweet Potato & Butternut Bake

This January I decided to go vegetarian. This is not a permanent change for me, more a personal challenge, to see if I could stick to it and a chance to give my body a break after the incessant indulgence of the Christmas period. For the first week or two I was really enjoying it,…

The Boyfriend’s Homemade Fakeaways: Donner Kebab

When I first met my boyfriend he’d barely ever cooked a thing, having served 5 years in the army, he’d been fed three times a day and never had to. However being a big food lover and knowing how big a foodie I was, he won me over when we were first dating by cooking…

Greek Style Grilled Chicken with Grilled Halloumi, Beetroot, Quinoa & Spinach

This dish contains a lot of my favourite summertime ingredients. I was brought up on summertime barbecues but now I live in a first floor flat barbecues at pretty much off the menu. However grilling remains one of my favourite ways to cook a quick summertime meal, especially with my favourite kitchen gadget which is…

Thai Turkey Meatball Soup

Today I’d like to introduce you to my new favourite midweek meal. We all love a curry, but I have to confess Thai green curry is my absolute favourite. The combination of those classic flavours of lemon grass and ginger is just so uplifting and refreshing, I feel like I’m eating a bowl full of…

Lamb Kebabs with Mint

Inspired by my recent trip to Suvlaki, I decided to make some meaty skewers of my own. Quick kebabs are a favourite midweek meal of mine. They’re insanely easy to assemble, quick to cook and easy to spice up by just throwing on any herbs and spices you have knocking about in the cupboard. I…

Salmon, Spinach & Ricotta Tortilla Pizza

I really love cooking fish for dinner. I’m a big fish fan and it’s generally so much quicker and easier to cook well than meat. It is also lighter and less fatty. However, it’s one of those things I have a limited number of ways to cook in my repertoire. Roast it and serve with…
