Sun Dried Tomato & Black Olive Crusted Lamb Chops

A golden breadcrumb coating, flecked with black olive and sun dried tomato, crunching through to lamb, cooked to just pink perfection… Lamb; at its most flavourful after feasting on the lush grass of summer. Just pink, like rosy cheeks, coming back from the park on cool Saturday mornings as August fades to Autumn. Sun Dried Tomato; Summer’s […]

Gluten Free Recipe: Pear & Almond Cake

Subtle, sweet pear and unctuous almond make this gluten free cake moist, luxurious and incredibly more-ish (Don’t say you weren’t warned…) It’s a funny thing, having a food blog. People assume that you’re suddenly an expert in all things cooking and baking. Pssst! I’ve got a little secret for you… I’m really not! Don’t […]

7 Day Meal Plan for Your 5 a Day

I love meal plans! I’m always on the lookout for magazines which include a 7 day fat buster-detox-under £5-cook in less than 30 seconds type plan. It’s just great to have someone else do the thinking for you once in a while, right? I mean, frankly, it can all get a bit much sometimes – work […]

…all the great flavours of tandoori chicken, with a minty raita – but in burger form! I started to write this post right at the start of BBQ season, and have only just got around to finishing it! Sadly, the time for BBQ’s is nearly at an end for another year (at least for us […]

Recipe: Smoked Mackerel Pâté

This creamy smoked mackerel pâté is bursting with the contrasting flavours of earthy smoked fish, the fresh, clean taste of chopped parsley and lemon juice, and finished off with the tang of chopped gherkin… This is one of those wonderful recipes that is pure simplicity to prepare (with just 6 ingredients, how could it be anything else?), but absolutely full […]

Simple Summer Gazpacho

Tomatoes, full of flavour, form the base of this fresh, light, chilled Gazpacho. Each sip will cool, calm and nourish you… You know those days when it’s oppressively hot and you just don’t feel like eating much? To be honest, living in the UK, I’m not that familiar with them, but if there’s a nation who totally gets […]

Raspberry & Lavender White Hot Chocolate

Soothing, warm and creamy, this liquid heaven in a cup contains the classic combo of rich white chocolate, & sweet, tangy raspberries. Add the delicate floral undertone of lavender and you’ve got something pretty special… (or is that pretty AND special??) I love food. I really love food that tastes amazing. But I really, REALLY love food that […]

Recipe: Crayfish Cocktail in a Jar

Sweet, succulent crayfish & creamy avocado, served on a bed of crisp, fresh lettuce with a light, zingy herb dressing… We’re going a little bit retro today – but (as all the cool kids say), with a modern twist… Do you have a go-to meal that you ALWAYS chose when you went out for a meal […]

BBQ Recipe: Spicy Mint Lamb Kebabs

A combination of chilli, honey, yoghurt and mint makes these lamb kebabs spicy, sweet and cool all in one mouthful. With only 10 minutes preparation time, they are the perfect dish for your next BBQ… I’m assuming that as you’ve clicked on this post, you’re at least mildly into BBQ‘s. What’s not to love, right? Chances […]
