One Pot Moroccan Chicken with Couscous

  Ever since I bought a book from the Rukmini Iyer Roasting Tin series I have been playing around more with one pot dishes. Her books are fabulous and full of inspiration, I highly recommend them. To be honest during the week I am slow to turn on the oven and just want food I […]

Vegetable Bake with Mash

I haven’t shared a new recipe in almost a month, which is most unlike me. Despite lockdown and all this *gestures wildly at the whole world*, I have had quite a hectic few weeks. I’ve been lucky to have 2 family weddings in the last week. It has been such a joy to have time […]

Coconut and Lime Pulled Chicken with Kimchi Style Slaw

Now there’s a mouthful of a recipe title for you. I have been meaning to post this recipe for Coconut and Lime Pulled Chicken with Kimchi Style Slaw for quite a while now.

Carrot Courgette and Halloumi Fritters

I finally settled on this recipe here and when catering for a party earlier this year […]

Veggie Chilli

    I’ve been awol again! Life has been so busy these last few weeks but it’s been all nice things happening. Work is busy and I’ve had lots of lovely family days with two communions to go to. At these times my blog has to take a back seat, but I’ve been itching to share […]

Soy Sesame and Ginger Chicken Salad

One of the first food blogs I ever followed was Like Mam Used to Bake by Rosanne Hewitt Cromwell. Sadly, this blog is no more but one of my favourite ever recipes was for her Soy Garlic Chicken which I think was inspired by a Crackbird dish. This recipe was where I learned about spatchcocking […]
