This couscous salad with feta is an easy to make mouthful of summer. It’s Easter Monday today, and it’s rained so much one of our flower beds has developed a small lake. We can’t complain, though, it’s been snowing in some areas, and we’ve had […]
This halloumi salad is a hearty summer meal. Eat it when it’s gloriously hot and you could imagine you were in sunny Cyprus or Greece – or eat it when it’s raining, it’s cold and you wish you were there. Do you like the spring […]
Whilst I’m not the biggest fan of super spicy food, I love chilli the dish – chilli con carne, vegetable chilli, every variation you can think of. I even make one with chocolate. So why not fish chilli? We eat fish every Friday, and […]
This carrot and ginger soup will warm you up! What’s your winter been like? We’ve had snow several times this year, which makes it the coldest winter York has seen in a while. We haven’t had snow laying for a significant time since 2010 – […]

Marinated salmon is the perfect Friday tea – easy and full of flavour. This recipe is inspired by tandoori fish – but I smother it in yogurt and bake it, for moistness and convenience. If you forget about it in the oven it will forgive […]
This tinned mackerel salad with coriander (cilantro) and lime is a hint of Mexican inspired freshness for the summer – and packed with nutrition. We sometimes eat tinned fish in sandwiches (check out my tinned mackerel sandwiches post). We often buy more than we need, however, […]
This anchovy pasta sauce is both easy and indulgent. Perfect comfort food, or make to impress. And it’s the perfect way to use up that odd tin of anchovies at the back of the cupboard! I found a recipe for spaghetti in anchovy sauce, or […]
I hope these 20 minute dinner ideas will get you cooking! There’s nothing like relaxing on the sofa with a book, my crochet or a favourite TV programme after tea with my husband. The little one has gone to bed so it’s our time […]
