30 Oct Halloumi & Broccoli Soldiers with Dippy Eggs
Dippy eggs have always been a firm favourite of mine. They're quick & easy to whip up in the morning & perfect with this halloumi & broccoli combo!...
18 Sep Fresh fig, ricotta & black quinoa salad
I love this with either fresh figs when they’re in peak season or roasted figs, when I want my salad to be warm (and it can also bring out the best in a disappointing fig). Black quinoa (or red) isn’t as abundant as the white (pearl) variety in shops but it’s worth seeking out and it makes the autumn colours...
18 Sep Fill-your-freezer tomato sauce
As well as with the usual suspects - pizza and pasta, I love this sauce served with chicken or fish or as a base for a minestrone or bean soup or even drink it as a soup by adding some broth. I make a huge batch once a month or so, freeze in portions and pull it out anytime I...
09 Nov Vietnamese Style Turmeric Omelette
I’d eat this for any meal of the day. Sometimes I’ll stuff the omelette with the vegetables and salad and sometimes I toss them together then have it on the side which is delicious. I absolutely love to tangy bright yellow colour. My boyfriend also eats it cold as a snack, straight out of the fridge! ...
09 Nov Malaysian Sweet Potato Coconut Curry
There’s no need to buy a shop-bought paste when making your own is this easy (and so much tastier!). My Malaysian-style curry is rich, flavour packed and ready in 50 minutes....
17 Jul Cambodian Kampot Pepper Noodle Salad
Noodle salads are one of the easiest ways to eat lots of crunchy colourful veg and I make a giant one a week as they are even tastier the next day and ideal for packed lunches or leftovers and would be great with a fried egg on top, shredded chicken or flaked fish. ...
08 Nov Filipino Party Noodles
My Mum’s been making this for me since forever and it’s always present at family parties. There was definitely a few years of my childhood when I picked the vegetables out (but was made to eat them anyway at the end before leaving the table!) Vermicelli rice noodles are traditional but I prefer buckwheat (soba) noodles and I find them...
12 Sep Chana masala
My take on the popular chickpea curry. Add more liquid if you like it soupier, or enjoy it as it is with a thick, rich sauce for dipping a slice of naan into or serving with quinoa or vegetable rice to soak up the flavours. If you have any vegetables that need eating up, you could add a large handful...
05 Sep Masala eggs
If you’re a fan of shakshuka and huevos rancheros, you’re going to really like this one pan dish for breakfast, brunch or a fast supper. The eggs set in a quick spiced tomato sauce made with cumin, turmeric and ginger. Throw on a handful of watercress and/or coriander for a green fix. ...
26 Oct Mushroom Quinoa Mix up
This a bit like a risotto mixed with a biryani. It’s one pot, perfect for vegetarians and simple to make. If you haven’t got all the spices but do have garam masala, add 2 tsps of that instead. I always play with spices, herbs and nuts, just swap in whatever you’ve got but don’t skip the crunchy nuts! I...
01 Nov Mushroom & ‘any cheese’ Frittata
If, like me, you love frittatas, you’ll know they are the dream dish for using up leftovers of cheese, greens or cooked veg (or endless pumpkin leftovers from Halloween). They’re also fab as breakfast on the go and perfect for packed lunch....
