Roasted cod, minted pea mash and crispy pancetta
Cod is not a fish I’ve cooked with much before. I generally think of it as quite boring, mild-flavoured and let’s face it, often better battered at your local chippy with a side of mushy peas. However, I’ve come to … Continue reading
Mushroom, spinach, artichoke and pancetta puy lentil salad
This is a delicious, earthy salad. A perfect winter salad. A hearty salad that can be eaten warm for supper, the leftovers going to make an impressive packed lunch ( well that’s my plan anyway!) (Apologies for the lack of posts … Continue reading
Sea bream with anchovy, tomato, capers and olives
Anchovies, capers and olives. I think of these as ‘grown up’ ingredients, ingredients that we learn to love with age. I’ve only recently admitted to myself, and family, that anchovies and capers are not in fact the food of the … Continue reading
Chicken, tomato and tarragon
When I say tarragon, you say……? …With chicken, rice and a creamy sauce? Yeah? Well that’s my go to recipe anyway, and probably the same for you lot. But don’t underestimate the old ‘erb! As I found out last night … Continue reading
Leek and gorgonzola pasta with balsamic roasted tomatoes and crispy chorizo

Courgette, watercress, feta and pomegranate salad

Idiot-proof lunch ideas
These are a few things things I’ve made recently which I feel don’t quite deserve their own post but nonetheless deserve a little bit of recognition (aww…). Lunchtimes tend to be a quick and easy affair in our house – … Continue reading
Pizza – red onion, pepper, chorizo and caper
A couple of weekends ago I had the good fortune to stumble upon the amazing Franco Manca whilst at a street festival in Brixton. I was torn between sampling the Caribbean fare that lined the streets or trying one of … Continue reading
Pork tenderloin with braised leeks and beans
I don’t tend to cook with pork (save for bacon of course, I lovvvve bacon). In fact I’d never cooked with pork fillet/tenderloin until today – and it was a surprising success! Not dry at all and the sweetness of … Continue reading
Asian salmon and slaw
Salmon is not my favourite fish in the sea*. Most of the time I genuinely think I’d choose fish fingers over salmon. This is because it can often be so bland, overcooked and uninspiring. However THIS recipe is awesome. I … Continue reading
