December 14, 2023
I love this dish because it’s really comforting and only uses one pot, which of course entails less washing up… And thanks to the rotisserie chicken, this means it’s a pretty quick recipe.

October 19, 2023

September 22, 2023
Dal is one of my favourite comfort foods and this chickpea curry leaf dal is ready in 20 minutes. The curry leaf adds a really delicious aromatic flavour to the dish which isn’t really like anything else, however I know sometimes curry leaf is a bit tricky to find… So if you’re unable to source it, this dish is equally delicious without the curry leaf.
September 20, 2023
Butternut squash is one of my favourite things to eat in Autumn and this is the perfect thing to make if you’re having friends over or want a special night in. The sweet squash works really well with the salty feta yoghurt, then the garlic chilli butter drizzled on top adds a delicious richness to the dish.
September 12, 2023
I love adding frozen spinach into pesto because it adds extra veg and bulks out the sauce. However because the spinach is frozen, I would recommend using a fairly high powered blender (I use a nutribullet).

August 6, 2023
This is by no means an authentic black dal recipe, but if you’re looking for a very easy recipe with minimal ingredients, and one that is reminiscent of black dal, then this is for you.

July 3, 2023

July 3, 2023
This is now my new favourite way to cook salmon (and believe me I have a lot of ways I cook salmon.).

June 19, 2023
The vibrant green colour makes it feel perfect for spring or summer, and it’s a great sharing dish with some crusty bread. I’d definitely recommend topping this with crumbled feta, some chopped dill and extra virgin olive oil.
June 13, 2023
Roasting the tofu may take a little bit of time, but I promise it’s worth it. You end up with little crunchy nuggets that keep their texture really well when coated in the sauce.
June 11, 2023
This creamy salmon curry is the perfect dinner option. It’s easy, quick and full of flavour.
June 8, 2023
One of my favourite things to eat are burgers, especially smash burgers because the extra surface area means extra caramelisation which we know means extra deliciousness. And these are super easy.
June 6, 2023
Everyone has their own take on cajun seasoning, but in general it’s a blend of different spices and dried herbs such as smoked paprika, dried thyme, onion powder etc. We know that chickpeas go well with spice (hello delicious chickpea curries.

This is really quick and easy with minimal ingredients used. I love garlic (and I'm hoping you do too), so we’ve got used different types here: fresh and the powder version.
June 1, 2023
This is super easy and ready in about 20 minutes. Butter beans are one of my favourite pulses because they’re really creamy and soft, so they work very well with the heat of harissa.
May 30, 2023
These are really easy to make and so delicious. They’re all over social media right now, and I have to say it may be my favourite viral recipe to date.
May 26, 2023
This dish uses hardly any ingredients and is ready in 20 minutes. Harissa is a red chilli paste that’s flavoured with different spices and garlic (amongst other things.
May 25, 2023
These little tofu nuggets are roasted until crisp and golden then coated in a slightly spicy BBQ sauce. Roasting the tofu is a really effective (and healthier.
May 24, 2023
Apparently puttanesca means ‘in the style of prostitutes’, and if any food could evoke provocation then burrata is probably up there too..
May 4, 2023
These smoky black beans are super easy and quick to make. Charring the corn gives it a really deep flavour, so I definitely recommend not skipping this step.
April 27, 2023
I love asparagus so when it’s in season (and a little bit cheaper…), I like to make the most of it. To be entirely honest, I think anything with cream, parmesan, lemon and garlic is going to be delicious.
April 18, 2023
I love beef curry but it’s usually made with chunks of stewing beef which this takes awhile to cook down and become delicious. So this is a quicker, mid week version.
April 6, 2023

April 6, 2023

March 27, 2023
This is an easy butter bean curry, similar to butter chicken. It’s very quick and can come together in about 20 minutes.
March 18, 2023

March 5, 2023
This recipe only has 4 ingredients: aubergine, chilli oil, honey and butter. It’s also a very quick dish to make and comes together in 15 minutes, so it’s great for a quick midweek meal or lunch.
March 13, 2023
Stroganoff is typically made with beef, but I’ve swapped it here for mushrooms and chickpeas. This by no means is an authentic stroganoff recipe, however I think you’ll love this vegetarian high fibre version.
March 7, 2023
Caramalising the onions takes a little bit of time, but this dish is very low effort and all made in one pan. It’s a great balance of smoky, sweet and rich, with a little bit of lemon at the end to bring it all together.
