This is dish is one of my favourite midweek meals, mainly because it involves almost zero effort yet it feels a little bit fancy. I’ve made it in many various forms with different types of beans and different types of fish but this combination has to be my favourite. Any white fish will work, I…

Prawn & Mango Courgetti Salad with Sweet Chilli Dressing
In recent months I’ve really been trying to pay a lot more attention to what I put into my body and how it responds. Last year, after quite a long period of trying to figure out why I was getting stomach pains, I had my gall bladder removed. It’s a pretty minor operation and very…
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…
Lamb Shanks with Bean Stew
Do you have the in-laws coming over for dinner? Friends coming for a dinner party to see your new place? Whatever the dinner party occasion, this is the perfect dish for it. Lamb shanks always look impressive and the beauty of this dish is that you only have to do around 20 minutes prep work…
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…

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…
Spinach & Ricotta Courgetti Bake
I LOVE pasta, I will happily confess this and, regularly, bang on about it quite a bit. However, I am also aware that the amount of pasta I would happily stuff my face with is not necessarily that good for me and leaves me feeling heavy, stuffed and bloated. I have by no means given…
Butternut Squash & Aubergine Red Thai Curry
Butternut squash is my favourite vegetable to love to hate. I truly do love butternut squash, I love the flavour, I love the texture, it’s so versatile and works in so many different dishes. What I do not love, is preparing a butternut squash. The last time I was attacking one with a cleaver The…

I’m actually really excited to be posting this recipe as the very first meal to be cooked in my lovely new flat! I moved into my new place with it’s beautiful shiny kitchen on Saturday and I’ll be cooking up lots and lots of tasty treats in it, all to be featured on this little…
