Salads & Sides
21 Dec Syrian Turkey Salad
I love this Syrian Turkey Salad served warm but it’s delish cold too! Another fabulous way to use up leftovers over the festive season. ...
21 Dec Chickpea Leftovers Salad
This leftover Chickpea salad with Sweet Potato, Onions and Chipolatas was something I rustled up so quickly with my friend when we had bits and bobs to use up!...
15 Dec Miso Roasted Brussel Sprouts

01 Dec Spaghetti Squash
Not spiralized squash! Spaghetti squash! It's an actual special kind of squash and works perfectly as a side drizzled with garlic sage butter and roast chicken or have with your favourite pasta sauce and meatballs like I've done here. The recipe for these meatballs is in my new book Eat Happy which is out in January, so get pre-ordering now!...

I’ve used cooked beetroot here but you can easily buy raw and cook...
07 Jul Beetroot, Olive & Feta Salad
This vibrant salad is a melange of fresh, simple ingredients that packs up well for a picnic (just take the feta to scatter on top before you serve). If you don’t like feta, swap with goat’s or any cheese of your choice. Sumac is a Middle Eastern spice that adds sweetness to the dressing....
