Recipe: Feijoada

Long week? Feeling stressed about those deadlines? Can’t get a moment’s peace because the kids keep arguing? In that case, come with me. Kick off your shoes and slip on your sandals. Loosen your tie and grab your favourite holiday play list (which I hope has at least a few Gypsy Kings songs in there..) […]

World Hunger Day Recipe: Sausage & Tomato Pie

Did you know that May 28th is World Hunger Day? I didn’t either, until I was recently asked to contribute a recipe as part of a World Hunger Day campaign called ‘Come Dine Below the Line‘ which is being run by The Hunger Project and MyVoucherCodes. The idea is, that the recipe should be below […]

Recipe: Salmon en Croute

Lightly smoked, tender salmon fillets with a fresh, creamy, tarragon filling… all encased in a buttery, puff pastry… Every now and then, I have an idea for a recipe that makes me nervous. The image is so clear in my imagination that I can almost taste it, but I’m not sure if I can actually do […]

Recipe: Smoked Haddock & Prawn Chowder

Chowder was a great favourite while I was growing up. We always had fish on Fridays and my brother and I tended to view it as a bit of a disappointment. There were a few dishes however that absolutely stood their own against their meaty cousins from the rest of the week. Chowder was […]

Slow Cooker Lamb Shanks

The perfect welcome home! Tender lamb shanks & beads of bloated pearl barley in a rich, deep sauce, sweet with carrot and honey, yet aromatic with coriander seeds and sherry… My slow cooker spends most of the year gathering dust in the back of a cupboard, but each year, around October time, I suddenly yearn […]

Herby Yoghurt Chicken Recipe

This is a chicken recipe from my childhood. It was always one of my favourites. Now I make it for my family and it’s one of their’s too! Frankly, I could just eat a big bowl of rice with the sauce – the chicken’s just a bonus! This could just as easily be done with some […]

Recipe: Quick & Easy Weekday Chilli

I love this recipe – it’s another of my Mum’s and just the thought of it fills me with a sense of well-being! It’s so quick and easy but the result is a rich, flavoursome, warming bowl of chilli. Just what the doctor ordered after a tiring day when you want something comforting, wholesome and […]

Weekday Suppers – 10 Steps to Success

You’re just 10 steps away from weekday supper success! I don’t ask a lot from my weekday suppers (tea, supper, dinner – what’s it known as in your family?), just that they’re delicious, healthy, cheap, can be made with the least amount of work possible… ok, maybe that is quite a lot.. But, that should be […]

Recipe: Breadcrumb Pesto Crispy Chicken

Faster than fast food? Well, the Summer holidays are nearly over (sob). As I’m on maternity leave, I’ve been able to have the whole holidays at home with my boys and I’ve loved it! HOWEVER, I’m finding it increasingly tricky to provide tasty, varied meals for lunch AND supper. I confess, we’ve resorted to […]

Tomatoes: Prawn Pilau

Five ways with…tomatoes: Prawn Pilau ‘Hurrah!’ I hear you cry. ‘Finally, she’s done another post!’ Yes, indeed I have, and you’re in luck because this one’s a particularly yummy one and the second in my ‘Five ways with…tomatoes’ series. This recipe comes from my Mama and is both ridiculously easy and ludicrously tasty. You’re welcome! […]
