Minted broccoli soup
I love a good soup and this one is not only full of flavor, but is also super healthy. Perfect served with a hunk of warm sourdough and real butter!
Pasta, Recipes, Vegetarian
Cherry tomato and kale pasta
A delicious meat-free Monday pasta that is bursting with goodness. I find that pasta is a great vehicle for getting more vegetables into your diet; my kids are more likely to eat (and try) them if they are served in pasta dish as opposed to on the side of the plate.
Recipes, Vegetarian
Roasted salsa potatoes with feta
Delicious on their own, as a side dish or as part of a tapas style meal.Adding a jar of salsa means you can add the flavours that you love: spicy chilli, mild tomato or smoky chipotle … the choice is yours!
Fish, Recipes
Cod tray bake
A simple dinner that is full of flavour. You can use any meaty white fish – pollack and hake work particularly well.

Orzo prawns
I only discovered orzo in recent years and I am so glad I did! It is such a great (and under -appreciated) pasta.
Recipes, Vegetarian
Tortilla with salad
Delicious served hot or cold – as a main or a tasty snack. A tortilla is an ideal addition to a picnic…tastier than sandwiches and a welcome change!
Pork & Lamb, Recipes
Spiced lamb burgers with a side salad
I love a good burger recipe and this one never fails to disappoint. Bursting with flavour, it is fast becoming a family favourite in my house!
Curry, Recipes, Turkey
Turkey curry with wholegrain rice and peas
This is my go-to Boxing Day curry – a great way for using up your left over turkey (or any other cooked meat that you have); it’s a mild curry that is perfect for the whole family but those who like a bit of spice can add some chopped chillies (fresh or dried.)
Pork & Lamb, Recipes
Ham and cheese croissants with scrambled eggs and tomatoes
A decadent breakfast treat! I first made these when we were holidaying in the south of France and the whole family loved them!
Fish, Recipes
Simple seafood paella
The taste of summer on a plate. This simple paella is delicious…you can substitute the fish for whatever you fancy (or need to use up.) But, the best thing about this dish is that you don’t need to stir it – although, you need to keep an eye on it as you don’t want the liquid to be absorbed too quickly.

My mum’s perfect cake recipe
My mum is the baker in the family: I readily admit that her cakes are better than mine – she has that magic touch! But this recipe (her recipe) is foolproof – it works every time! I usually just sprinkle with icing sugar but the photo shows how I decorated it for the platinum jubilee!
Pork & Lamb, Recipes
Roasted cauliflower salad with chorizo, pomegranate and feta
A salad that gives so much more than a bowl of lettuce (there actually isn’t a lettuce leaf in sight!!) Bursting with colour and flavour this really is more than just a salad!
