Raw Lemon Curd Cheesecake

Raw Lemon Curd Cheesecake

I’m not a huge fan of desserts or sweet things – I’d rather have a cheese plate at the end of a meal, but if I’m going to order a dessert it would be cheesecake 100% of the time.  Knowing this, my lovely mother decided 

Refined Sugarfree Lemon Curd

Refined Sugarfree Lemon Curd

Lemon Curd is something that reminds me of my childhood.  I remember having it on toast or served on scones as a replacement for jam,  I also remember mum using it to make Lemon Meringue Pie which is definitely something I’m going to have to

Oven Baked Salmon with White Wine & Watercress Sauce

I love salmon, in fact I think it’s the fish that we eat most in our house.  I cook with it at least once a week and so I’m always looking for different ways to serve it.  This particular recipe for Oven Baked Salmon with 

Buttered & Charred Lettuce with Peas

Buttered & Charred Lettuce with Peas

I love peas!  They have to be one of my favourite veggies.  So versatile, easy to cook and I always have a bag on hand in the freezer.  The only thing with peas is that they’re not very elegant or sophisticated!  A bowl of frozen

(Zucchini) Courgette Pea & Feta Summer Salad

Wandering around the farm shop the other day I was completely inspired by the amazing range of produce.  Everything looked and smelled so fresh and inviting, but what really caught my eye were the courgettes (zucchini).  They had both yellow and green ones and I

Lemon & Poppy Seed Muffins

Lemon & Poppy Seed Muffins

I love a good lemon cake, something about the tanginess combined with sweetness, and Lemon & Poppy Seed is one of my favourite combinations.  The poppy seeds add a kind of savoury nuttiness which just works so well with the lemon.  These Lemon & Poppy 

Lemon Cauliflower Rice with Coriander (Cilantro)

Lemon Cauliflower Rice with Coriander (Cilantro)

Looking for a light and refreshing side dish to pair with my Asian Style, Sweet Chilli Salmon, I was immediately drawn to something citrussy and decided to create a Lemon Cauliflower Rice to cut through the sweetness of the salmon.  I love the flavour of 

Chicken in a Lemon, Rosemary & White Wine Sauce

Chicken in a Lemon, Rosemary & White Wine Sauce

After a heavy red-meat type of weekend with Slow Roast Beef Brisket and my Paleo Lasagne, we’d decided on chicken tonight as a lighter option for dinner and I wanted something fairly healthy without too much fat.  I find that if you use herbs right then

Superfood, Green Tea, Matcha Smoothie Bowl

Having been gifted some Matcha Green Tea by Kineta I was intrigued to use it in a recipe as I’ve not tried it before.  I’d heard lots about the amazing superfood and anti-oxidant benefits it contains (137 times more anti-oxidants than regular green tea!)  I
