Last year I went vegetarian for the whole month of January, something I decided against this year mainly due to having a fridge full of Christmas leftovers to use up that I didn’t want to go to waste. However, as the month has gone on I have still found myself opting more and more for…

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…
Black Bean & Roasted Veg Quesadillas
Quesadillas are one of my all time favourite things to make for a casual snacky dinner on a hot day. They’re so tasty, quick to make and I kind of like the laid back eating with your hands vibe. Enjoy them out in the garden on a hot summer’s evening. I also think they’re a…
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…
Mushroom & Lentil Lasagne
Throughout my years as a blogger, my most constant and best source of inspiration has been other bloggers. As much as I love my cookbooks, my food magazines and my Saturday morning cooking shows, I love to see what other people are making in their own homes as part of their own busy, real lives….
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…
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,…
Puy Lentil, Cauliflower & Halloumi Salad
Lately I’ve been trying to cut back on the amount of meat I eat. I’ve always toyed with the idea of going fully vegeterian because I love vegetables in all their glorious forms but, to be honest, my heart’s not in it. Human’s didn’t evolve as herbivores, we evolved as omnivores, and unless there’s a…
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…
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…
