Once the summer rolls in the meals I crave lighten up. Gone are the deep comforting dishes that hug you from inside. I’m looking for bright bites that will not weigh me down. This Pea, Potato and Ham Salad is the answer.
Dinner
Black Bean Tacos
These Black Bean Tacos are such a great meal. A mix of textures, temperatures and flavours creates perfect mouthfuls.
Halloumi Curry
If you are looking for a filling vegetarian meal that the whole family can enjoy, look no further than this Halloumi Curry
Fish and Chips Traybake
This recipe combines two things I am always looking for easy cooking and less washing up. The fact that it is baked not fried is also a plus meaning you can enjoy fish and chips without worrying about excess fat.
Chicken and Tarragon Tart
Pastry + Chicken + Tarragon + Mushroom = One delicious tart. Now this even has the approval of my mushroom hating fiancée. If that’s not a rave endorsement I don’t know what is.
Chinese Pork Buns
This recipe takes a little more time but I can assure you it is worth it. The bread is soft and the filling is rich, savoury and slightly sweet. They are one of those bites I am always asked to bring to a party.
Breaded Sweet Potato Wraps
There is something about food that you can hold in your hand that is immensely satisfying. So here is the latest addition to the hand held food category my Breaded Sweet Potato Wraps.
Bacon and Pea Risotto
Some recipes are fast and frantic whilst some are slower and soothing. Risotto, for me, falls into the latter. Yes it does require constant supervision, but that is part of the joy. This is cooking that is good for the soul, try out my Bacon and Pea Risotto.
Sausage and Ricotta Ravioli
I am hopefully going to convince you that making your own fresh pasta is not mysterious or difficult. Why not give it a go with my Sausage and Ricotta Ravioli.
Tuna Nuggets
These Tuna Nuggets are the epitome of store cupboard cooking. I will always have the ingredients to whip these up. These are so easy and use ingredients that you may already have.
