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. ...
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...
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....
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....
I love soup! It doesn’t matter what’s in it, there’s nothing more comforting than a big bowl of warm, hearty soup. Bulked up with chickpeas and flavoured with thyme and parsley, this herbaceous soup is great for between the seasons. If you can’t find pomegranate, you can easily skip this ingredient. For added sweetness, you can also roughly chop some...
Any vegetable can be used in this hearty soup so let your local grocer or, better yet, local farmers’ market, be your guide. Generally go for vegetables that are in abundance (which usually means they’re cheaper, too). In the summer, swap in courgettes, fennel, fresh peas and broad peas instead of these root vegetables but, just bear in mind, most...
Ready in 20 minutes, I like to make a batch of this and have it for a packed lunch in a thermos during the week. I’ve used kale here as I had a huge bunch to use up but swap in chard, cavolo nero or shredded cabbage....
This roasted sweet potato salad with fried halloumi, avocado & toasted pumpkin...
This zesty courgette ribbon and chive salad one of the quickest and easiest salads to have up your sleeve and always wows guests. Keep your eyes peeled for the yellow courgettes but the green ones work just as well. ...
This is one of those ad-hoc recipes that I created when I looked in my fridge one day and simply pulled out all these ingredients and threw them together. And what a happy discovery it was! I love grilled halloumi; there truly is something special about its salty, creamy flavour and chewy texture which I just can’t get enough of....
An on-the-fly weeknight meal or a lazy weekend breakfast or brunch, this extra-garlicky fry up is made, cooked and served in the same pan, which keeps the cooking simple (and minimises washing up). Adding handfuls of spinach and mushrooms to your breakfast is a great way to sneak greens into your daily meals....
