Ooey gooey cheesy crispy ratatouille stuffed mushrooms
A delicious weeknight dinner that’s vegetarian and hits the comfort notes just right. I made a big batch of ratatouille, enough for this dish and for Little M’s dinner too (just the ratatouille topped with a little grated cheese), plus enough to freeze in little food pots for her lunch or tea at a later…
Crispy trout fillet with a warm potato salad and watercress
I don’t know about you but I’m craving some lighter food after a long, dark winter of stews and soups; come on spring!! Salad type veggies aren’t exactly in season right know (rock hard tomatoes, no thanks!) so this dish involves some standard fridge staples that you can easily knock together, that you can also…
Mexican mashed potatoes with sweetcorn and garlic
Hola Mexican mashed potatoes! OK so you can’t make mash look great in a pic (sorry!) but if the taste is amazing, who cares! Try this ‘Mexican’ style mash of potatoes with sweetcorn, loadsa garlic and a good splash of cream 😉 It’s the perfect side dish to accompany your favourite Cajun chicken – or…
Baked Ratatouille
I absolutely love roasted Mediterranean vegetables, especially ratatouille, and this dish takes them to another level. Chargrilling a whole load of veggies then layering up with a tomato sauce and cheese makes a normal side dish of vegetables an absolute winner. Also giving the presentation a little more thought than a pile of normal stewed ratatouille…
Homemade DELICIOUS ‘slaw
Summer is almost here! And what’s better to eat on a warm summers day then a tasty BBQ and salad? Everyone has had coleslaw, but do you ever make your own? It’s tastier, healthier and for pound for pound, so much cheaper! It also keeps really well. I use mostly yoghurt for the dressing, so…

Hollandaise sauce is notoriously difficult to make, but follow this easy step-by-step method and you’ll be able to…
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…
Perfectly Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Everybody loves sweet potato fries. You can order them anywhere now and unlike the humble ‘normal’ potato, sweet potatoes are classed as 1 of your 5 a day, but they are probably deep-fried when you order in your local bar. I have tried a few different recipes to try and perfect them, some say peel,…
Mexican-style toppings and dips: Guacamole, Salsa and Creamy (low-fat) Hot Sauce Dip
OK, I absolutely love “Mexican” food, although, I should say Mexican inspired food – it’s probably not traditional Mexican food at all! But I just love the flavours that this cuisine embraces; lime, chilli, cumin, coriander, AVOCADOS, tomatoes. Amazing, bright, taste-bud tingling flavours. I love to cook crispy fish tacos (recipe to follow in my blog!),…
