This was a happy accident, having only a small omelette pan or a massive large frying pan I opted for the latter and ended up with possibly the largest fritatta known to man! On the plus side there’s plenty to freeze for lunches in the coming weeks. Just defrost and microwave for a couple of…… Continue reading A frittata bigger than your head!
Greek Salad
There’s just so many recipes out there for Greek Salad – this is my take and by no means an authentic version. However having been on holiday in Greece and sampling substantial quantities I prefer Greek Salad without lettuce as they would serve it there as the lettuce tends to wilt and I like the crunchiness…… Continue reading Greek Salad
Smoked Mackerel Pâté
This is one for my best friend Kirbs as I know she has a love of fish-based food items! This is so easy to make and keeps for up to 5 days in the fridge. If you’re not suffering from IBS you could add a small clove of garlic to the ingredients. This goes well…… Continue reading Smoked Mackerel Pâté
Sweet Potato Rosti
There seems to be a bit of a breakfast theme this week, I think mostly as I’ve been travelling again to Dubai and when staying in hotels the breakfast tends to get a bit repetitive as there’s a limit to what I can actually eat so I have had many, many omelette in the course…… Continue reading Sweet Potato Rosti
Nearly Carbonara
This recipe uses my trusted spiralizer and is a great light, low-carb alternative to the real deal. It tastes pretty good and as long as the courgette is cooked al dente has a similar texture to pasta. This is a nice light lunch or dinner for the (hopefully) warmer spring months and also a good…… Continue reading Nearly Carbonara

Spicy tomato, courgette and pepper sauce
So with a slightly fuzzy head this weekend, I decided I was definitely in need of a vegetable fix to try to negate the effects of the night before. This spicy, vegetable and tomato sauce could equally be used on pasta or with chicken and as with most recipes keep the tomato base the same…… Continue reading Spicy tomato, courgette and pepper sauce
Almost Thai rice noodle stir fry
Sometimes only noodles will do, especially if they come in spicy, sour, sweet thai-like sauce. This is a really quick dinner, the time is in the chopping and prep, once you start cooking you’re looking at about 10-15 minutes top stir-fry time. The recipe below serves 4, and again you can scale up or down…… Continue reading Almost Thai rice noodle stir fry
Courgetti, Anchovy and Lemon “pasta”
The tulips are out in force and the garden is springing into bloom, so in line with this whimsical mood I decided to make a take on one of favourite and simplistic pasta dishes for lunch. I use my spiralizer quite a lot (this is the one I have http://amzn.to/1QEGUtq) as it’s a great way of…… Continue reading Courgetti, Anchovy and Lemon “pasta”
A slight obsession with kale…
This recipe has become a bit of a favourite in our house at the moment, until the last few months I hadn’t tried kale and now I’m hooked. It’s a great green veg as its grown year round, it’s high in iron and vitamin k. However, it can be a bit of a trigger for…… Continue reading A slight obsession with kale…
