Smooth Lentil Soup with Carrot
Smooth lentil soup – or as we call it – normal soup is a staple in our house. Why ‘normal soup’? It’s the only soup my 5 year old eats every time. Please don’t tell him it’s got lentils in, or it will all be […]
British Favourites
Creamy Butternut Pasta with Frozen Squash
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 […]
Orange Roasted Carrots and Parsnips
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 […]
Smoked Mackerel Bake with Stuffing Topping
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 […]
Honey Lemon Chicken Thighs
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
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 […]
Oven Bacon Chop with Apple and Mushrooms
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 […]
Smoked Haddock Salad with Sour Cream and Chives
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 […]
Slow Cooker Butter Beans with Lemon and Thyme
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 […]
Roast Squash and Lentil Soup
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 […]
