Roasted Fig and Brie Salad with Crispy Prosciutto, Grapes & Tarragon

Roasted Fig and Brie Salad with Crispy Prosciutto, Grapes & Tarragon

Inspired by my Roasted Figs with Goats Cheese Appetiser that I made the other week, I decided to turn it into a main course and make the figs the star of a salad for my dinner that night.  I decided to change it up and 

Seared Tuna Nicoise Salad

Craving some greens and a fairly high protein meal after a workout at the gym tonight I settled on a Seared Tuna Nicoise Salad, complete with a gooey poached egg and topped with my homemade Rocket Pesto. To start with I steamed the asparagus (only 

Kimchi Fried Cauliflower Rice

Fermented foods are all the rage these days.  Great for your gut, they promote the growth of healthy bacteria and a healthy gut is a happy one!  Kimchi is the new guy on the block when it comes to fermented foods so I decided to 

Cauliflower Mash

Cauliflower Mash

I used to absolutely love mashed potato,   it’s the ultimate comfort food, filling and buttery and warming and creamy. Unfortunately these days, potatoes don’t comfort me so much as upset my stomach so I’ve had to find an alternative, and this is one of

Today, I found some amazing yellow cherry tomatoes while I was out shopping for something for dinner.  I definitely wanted to make a salad with them so I racked my brains to come up with something tasty and light pair them with.  A few weeks 

Roasted Vegetable Salad with Shaved Parmesan

Feeding the 5000 at the beach in Frinton this weekend for bank holiday I decided to make a big filling salad but with not much time to prepare anything in the mornings I needed to make something I could prep the night before and assemble 

The Ultimate Guide To Roasted Vegetables

The Ultimate Guide To Roasted Vegetables

One of the easiest side dishes to make and one of the most delicious things to eat.  I eat these at least 2-3 times a week so I thought I’d share my foolproof method for cooking them.  I love that once all the prep work

Watermelon, Feta & Mint Salad

Tonight, out in Portugal we were having family over for a BBQ and, being the food blogger in the family, I was in charge of creating the menu.  After having seen my Roasted Peach, Feta & Pistachio Salad and my Grilled Halloumi, Green Bean &

Berry & Mint Fruit Salad with a Honey Lime Dressing

Ok, so this is hardly a recipe (throw some fruit in a bowl, scatter over some mint, sprinkle over a secret dressing and it’s done) but it looked so spectacular and went down so well when I served it at a recent BBQ that I

Fellow-Blogger Friday #2 – Courgetti Spaghetti Round-Up

You say Zucchini, I say Courgettes, you say Zoodles, I say Courgetti… I love my Spiralizer!  It allows me to eat all those gorgeous pasta sauces that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to have (due to having to give up my delicious pasta).  It’s so easy to

So, after the Roasted Peach, Feta & Pistachio Salad,  the second salad that I decided on for our BBQ lunch was this Grilled Halloumi Salad.  Halloumi is always a crowd pleaser and I think it should be at every BBQ, although if you can’t eat

I don’t like to buy dips from the supermarket.  I find that 99 times out of 100 they will have sugar added, which is so unnecessary (it hides in everything these days) or some sort of binder like potato starch or maize/rice flour or guar
