Trinidadian Macaroni Pie

Macaroni pie is the Caribbean’s version of macaroni cheese. It’s a lot easier to make than the classic because you don’t need to make a roux or cheese sauce.

Spiced Macaroni Cheese

July 18, 2023

Whenever I make this macaroni and cheese, someone asks for the recipe. And to be honest, it’s probably my favourite macaroni and cheese recipe ever.

Hot Honey Chicken Burger

This is one of my favourite ways to use chicken mince. The burgers are flavoured with lots of spices and herbs then coated in hot honey.

10-Minute Tomato Noodles

July 13, 2023

This is what I make when I really can’t be bothered to cook, but I force myself to (usually because it's either cheaper or healthier than getting takeout). It ticks all the boxes when I’m in this mood, i.

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

Tomato Curry

Tomato Curry

June 22, 2023

Tomato, coconut and chickpeas are a trilogy that were made for each other. I often use canned tomatoes in curries, but in summer I love to make fresh tomato curries.

Spinach Feta Beans

Spinach Feta Beans

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.

Tomato Salad

Tomato Salad

June 15, 2023

This is one of those special dishes where the finished product is far superior to the sum of its parts. I’m not even sure if this can be called a recipe, but it definitely is the perfect thing to make in summer, when you’ve got access to great tomatoes and you don’t want to turn the oven on.

This creamy salmon curry is the perfect dinner option. It’s easy, quick and full of flavour.

Chicken Smash Burger

Chicken Smash Burger

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.

Cajun Chickpeas

Cajun Chickpeas

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.

Aubergine Butter Beans

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.

Puttanesca (ish) Chickpeas

Puttanesca (ish) Chickpeas

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..

Smoky Black Beans

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.

Creamy Spring Salmon

Creamy Spring Salmon

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.

Quick Beef Curry

Quick Beef Curry

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.

Creamy Tuscan Chickpeas

Creamy Tuscan Chickpeas

April 6, 2023

I usually make this dish with salmon, but chickpeas make a great cost effective and quick alternative. However if you did want to add some pan fried salmon in, it wouldn’t go amiss.

Cumin Lamb Noodles

April 6, 2023

If you haven’t tried lamb with noodles, I’d 100% recommend doing so. The lamb gives a really nice deep savoury flavour to the dish.

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.

Chickpea Mushroom Stroganoff

Chickpea Mushroom Stroganoff

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.

Smoky Caramelised Onion Butter Beans

Smoky Caramelised Onion Butter Beans

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.
