Who’s up for fish pie? A classic dish that is the essential comfort food! Perfect for autumnal nights and weekends, all cosy with family. I’m not going to lie, it does cost a little to get all the ingredients as fish can be pricey, which can be annoying as I love fish! So I don’t…
Aubergine Milanese
This delicious dish involves lovely aubergine slices that are coated in a parmesan and herb breadcrumb mix, firstly fried in a little olive oil then baked to cook through. Serve simply with a delicious simple tomato sauce and rocket salad. Amazing! One suggestion for this dish would be to use proper tomatoes. I don’t mean a…

Baked Ratatouille
I absolutely love roasted Mediterranean vegetables, especially ratatouille, and this dish takes them to another level.

Sesame chicken noodle salad

Melt-in-the-middle cod and cheddar fishcakes
These fishcakes need a little bit of prep and forward planning, as it works best with ingredients that are cold! Trust me. I start making these the day ahead, just by boiling some potatoes the day before and letting them go cold and by also making a little white sauce and again letting it go…
