This butternut pasta is so easy – the perfect creamy lunch or dinner dish. No roux, no rich cream or soft cheese either. I like it with a sprinkling of chilli, but I think it would be yummy with crispy bacon too if you’re not […]
Roasted carrots and parsnips are a staple of roast dinners here – but I feel the orange is underrated in the festive period. We have mackerel pate and clementines for Christmas lunch (the roast is in the evening), and Santa often leaves a clementine in […]
This smoked mackerel bake is designed around one of my favourite ingredients. We even eat smoked mackerel on Christmas day in the form of a pate, mixed with cream cheese. It’s got a lovely fishy taste, and comes ready to eat. It’s just perfect […]
These honey lemon chicken thighs are full of flavour and super easy to make. I love cooking, but life never seems to get any less full, does it? The joy of marinading is that the flavour soaks in while you’re busy doing other things. With […]
Beef and cheddar meatballs are a great way to add flavour to this staple dish. Who doesn’t like meatballs? Minced (ground) meat is just so cheap and convenient, and there are a lot of lower fat versions available now. My first meatball recipe uses lemon and […]
This oven bacon chop recipe is so easy – and bacon chops have so much flavour. If you don’t have bacon chops available you could try this recipe with gammon steaks. Bacon chops, though, are one of the yummy reasons I enjoy shopping at my […]
I love summer salads – not simply a mixture of raw vegetables, whether home made or bought in a packet, but a proper stick-to-your ribs, full flavoured meal of a salad. I never fully appreciated salads until I visited the mediterranean, where a salad is […]
These slow cooker butter beans are just so melt in the mouth tender, and full of flavour. We eat a lot of chillies and curries, so using fresh herbs and citrus fruit is a good way to ring the changes without sacrificing flavour, or […]
May doesn’t really seem like the time of year for a squash and lentil soup, but I put the heating on for an hour the other day. It’s a lot cooler than it was this time last year – last week, even. And yet the […]
These easy fish fingers can be rustled up in a flash, and your family will be begging for more. I love fish fingers, but I’ve never made my own because all that egg dipping and breadcrumbing seems like a lot of hassle and mess when […]
