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!...
Veg Mains
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. ...
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....
07 Jul Crunchy Raddichio Salad
This creamy green feta dressing can be eaten even without any salad, it’s that good! I use raddichio as the base of this simple salad but use whatever greens you have on hand. The carrots add a sweet crunch and, if you’d like to bulk this up, add a handful of nuts or perhaps half an avocado, too....
07 Jul Citrus Carrot & Mint Salad
This makes a lovely side to a Moroccan-style braised lamb or a simple roast chicken. One day, I didn’t have an orange in the house, so I used a mandarin instead, which was just as delicious. I’ve also been known to add a handful of feta or some grilled halloumi, too. ...
07 Jul Chinese Mushroom Noodle Soup
The warm, spiced notes of star anise make an aromatic broth for this mushroom soup. Add green veg straight from the freezer, anything goes! Use any variety of mushroom you can find - I particularly love oyster and shiitake. I use 100% buckwheat soba noodles which are now stocked in most shops....
