I love the sort of meal where you have loads of different, tasty fillings laid out in front of you and you can make up your own tasty bite! Fajitas, Peking duck, fresh Thai spring rolls; they’re all delicious! Wraps are great things as you can pack in loads of flavour with many different sauces, salads,…

Broccoli, leek and cauliflower gratin with a pancetta and Parmesan cheese sauce
This is a quick and super tasty vegetable side dish. Serve simply with a beautiful roast chicken or even on it’s own as a comforting meal in itself. The smokey pancetta works amazingly with the cheese sauce, giving vegetables a tasty lift over the plain old boiled ones. Top with breadcrumbs and bake to create…
Classic Turkey Meatloaf
Meatloaf is a tad old fashioned, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t super tasty. A good old fashioned, home cooked meal, this really does hit the comfort food spot. This is elevated from a normal meatloaf as it uses turkey mince rather than beef, making it lighter and less greasy. It’s also packed with flavour,…
Stir fried chicken with basil, chilli, green beans and cashew nuts
This Thai-inspired stir fry is perfect for a quick but impressive dinner, easy to knock up in a hurry and to give you a punch of flavour with not much effort. Serve with either noodles or more traditionally sticky rice and I like it served with a crispy fried egg too! Perfect. Recipe (serves 2)…
Smoked Salmon, Courgette, Pea and Ricotta Frittata
Eggs for dinner, or any time of the day, always go down well in my house. They’re so quick and easy, as well as being cheap, delicious and good for you! Frittatas are great as you can basically shove anything you need to use up in them! OK this is a little fancy with the…
Spicy lamb patties with a caramelised onion and sweet pepper relish and mint and cucumber yoghurt
It’s Valentines day! But as we went out Saturday night to celebrate instead and I managed to eat and drink my weight in food and alcohol, we’re not eating out or cooking anything too OTT and fatty (it’s only a Tuesday!). Nothing is more romantic then sharing delicious food and using your hands to eat…
Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Skins with Cheddar, Spring Onion and Chorizo
Everyone has had normal potato skins, so tasty! But these sweet potato skins are even more delicious and packed with more flavour! So easy to make and a great, healthier alternative. You can use any ingredients you would like, cheese of course works well (baked potato, obviously it works!), use feta or cheddar or even…
Piri Piri Chicken
Everyone loves piri piri chicken. It’s spicy, juicy, flavoursome and absolutely delicious! Re-create this dish at home and I promise you it will taste so much brighter and have more zap than the stuff you find on the high street. It’s also pretty darn healthy and cheap to make! It just needs some time to…
Baked eggs with spinach and garlic toasts
Try this deliciously simple and quick baked eggs recipe for a meat free Monday dinner or as a lazy weekend brunch. I use plenty of garlic in this as I love it, for both the toasts and for the eggs themselves – so good! You could also add some sauteed mushrooms or sun blushed tomatoes…
Juicy chilli chicken, cashew nut, pepper and pineapple noodles
Another noodle dish – sorry! I just absolutely love them. They’re so quick, delicious and a great way to get loads of goodness in. These noodles are packed with veggies and flavour, giving a nice contrast between the spicy chilli and sweet pineapple and the soft, juicy chicken and crunchy cashew nuts. Recipe (serves…
