Corned beef hash is a dish that isn’t really…well, modern. It’s the sort of dish your gran would cook. But is that a bad thing? It’s great for a quick, easy and comforting dinner on a cold, autumnal evening. This dish is great to knock up, as you can rely on your pantry for most of the ingredients, only…

Homemade Pickled Onions
Call me old fashioned! But at this time of year I love making pickles and chutneys. If you’re like me and my family, we all love pickles, relishes and chutneys of all types and I’ve already got a load of Piccalilli made and stocked away in the pantry, which will be ready in a few…
Chicken Pot Pies

Perfectly Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Everybody loves sweet potato fries.

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!),…

Feel Better Chicken Soup
I love this time of year! I love it when it gets cold, crisp and very cosy. However, it does also mean that colds and flu are rife! Blaghh. I call this Feel Better Chicken Soup, but it’s great any time you need a comforting bowl of something to warm you up on those long, cold…
