Creamy Tarragon Chicken Stew

Tarragon is such an amazing herb that in my opinion is grossly under used. It’s something I don’t often cook with myself as I tend to forget about it, but every time I do I think why don’t I use tarragon more often?! Tarragon with chicken is such a classic pairing and when I decided…

​ Tapas Brindisa, Rupert Street

Here in Britain we are pretty used to the ingrained formula of the three course meal, especially when dining out, but sometimes it can be quite refreshing to throw convention out of the window and mix things up a bit. I’ve always loved the Spanish tapas style of eating. From a totally greedy point of…

​ 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…

Vegetable Soup

This recipe I’m sharing with you is actually one I make on a pretty regular basis. This is mainly because it’s so ridiculously easy and doesn’t involve a ton of fancy ingredients and only takes around 15 minutes to make. In addition to this, it’s also really tasty, especially considering that all the ingredients are…

Temper, London

It says on the homepage of Temper’s website: Barbecue, Tacos, Wine, Mezcal, Good Times, and that pretty much sums it up. Temper occupies a corner plot in one of the big new developments on Soho’s Broadwick Street, you’d be forgiven for not really realising it was there as most of the restaurant (and the magic)…

Spanish Chorizo & Potato Hash

Sometimes dinners need to come together super quick and require minimum fuss and minimum washing up. One pot dishes are ideal for during the week when time, and probably also your patience, is at a premium. This super quick spanish style potato hash is thrown together in a matter of minutes and packs plenty of…

Salmon & Potato Salad with Herby Yoghurt Dressing

In the last six months I’ve gone from living at home with my parents to living with my own family. I work quite long hours, have an 11 year old step-daughter, who goes in and out of vegetarian phases and requires good nutritionally balanced food to support all the things that growing up involves, and…

Moussaka

Now that summer is definitely very much over I find myself craving some proper home comfort foods and winter warmers. Bring on the pies, casseroles and hot pots! One of my favourite comfort food dishes is Moussaka, a Greek classic that I guess is sort of the Greek equivalent of a shepherd’s pie. Whilst similar…

Basil Salmon with New Potato, Corn & Tomato Salad

Do you ever get stuck in a bit of a dinner time inspiration rut? One of the things I’ve struggled with since moving out of my parents house is trying to think of a different, interesting and tasty thing to eat every single day. Sometimes I feel like I’m just cooking more or less the…

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…
