Chicken with garlic, mushrooms and cream

This dish is very easy to cook and super delicious, perfect for this time of year on those cold, frosty evenings. I have categorised it under quick and easy dinners, as although it will take an hour to cook, it’s so easy as you just leave it to bubble away or to leave in your…

Carbonara

Everyone has had Carbonara, but have you actually ever made one at home? It’s literally one of the simplest dishes to make ever! It uses ingredients you will probably have in your house, everyone will enjoy (including children!) and can be cooked in 12 minutes – yes 12 minutes! It’s a quick and easy mid-week dinner…

Simple Tortilla Toastie

This is more of an idea than a recipe! But it’s really simple and very tasty, especially for lunches, for snacking with friends or for when you’re a bit inebriated and you can’t really cook all too much. Instead of using bread as a usual toastie does, this crisps up deliciously and creates a sort…

Gyozas

Dumplings are literally my favourite things to eat at the moment. Bite sized morsels of amazingly juicy and savoury deliciousness are just the best things ever. I cook them a lot. They’re great for Saturday nights in on the sofa to enjoy with a good film. I will post a few different types, but gyozas…

Simple Chilli

I know everyone can cook a chilli! But my version of this all-time classic is super easy, tasty and packed with a whole load of veggies. It’s even better when you just basically throw everything into a pot and leave to cook! You can leave it in a slow cooker all day or simmer on a…

Ginger and Chilli Beef Noodles

I love getting leftovers to cook with. Surprising, as I used to hate it! But now, it seems to be a skill of mine, to be able to make leftover chicken or lamb from a Sunday roast to last more than one meal. It’s a great way to cook and to budget. Having a roast…

Thai salmon and vegetable curry

For a quick mid-week dinner, using a little shortcut is okay! No I don’t mean using a jarred sauce, but using a good quality Thai curry paste (you can get fantastic, authentic ones at your local Asian supermarket!), spiced up with your own flavourings and sauce is a great way to get a quick curry…

Gruyère and Parmesan twice baked cheese soufflés

It’s Friday and that means it’s the start of the weekend! So why not treat yourself to something absolutely delicious? Soufflés are notoriously tricky and are basically a show stopper for you to impress your guests, or quite frankly even yourself! But this soufflé is twice baked, meaning it’s a lot easier and less of a…

Lighter sticky honey chilli chicken and vegetable stir-fry

This dish is better than your local Chinese takeaway and is WAY lighter in calories. So the picture doesn’t look amazing – sorry! But when your hankering for something that tastes really good, has all your veggies and nutrients and is packed with flavour and don’t want to have the added calories or the cost as…

Baked apple crumble pots with oats and cinnamon

Here’s a tasty recipe for apple crumble. A recipe that made me actually like apple crumble after years of absolutely hating the stuff. Bitter, sour apples under unsweetened baked flour mix? No thanks. My mum (sorry mum!) for years had me dreading the stuff. As a child, my mum would cook this every Sunday; amazing…
