Cheese Courgette and Spinach Filo Pie

I’ve been intrigued by Greek Spanakopita for a long time. Well, any excuse to eat more cheese! I’ve never loved any of the versions that I’ve tried though. I then saw Georgina Hayden make this Cheese Courgette and Honey Pie on Saturday Kitchen and I thought it looked delicious. I’ve been playing around with variations since […]

White Chocolate Raspberry and Lemon Fridge Cake

It has been a while since I posted a sweet recipe. I wouldn’t want to give a false impression here, I don’t have a particularly sweet tooth but still find myself making desserts regularly. My oven is a bit temperamental so I try to not use it too much, even though I am making this […]

Baked Orzo with Courgette and Mozzarella

I saw a lot of talk online earlier this year about the Roasting Tin series of cookbooks by Rukmini Iyer. After lifting my self-imposed ban on buying cookbooks I eventually ordered The Quick Roasting Tin. My only regret was that I didn’t order it sooner! It is a fab book and I can’t wait for […]

Pea Courgette and Fennel Salad

I know it’s still March, I know this is more of a Summer dish so those who cook only with seasonal produce should look away now. I have been cooking with courgettes a lot lately. Given the strange times we are currently living in I find it easy to turn to familiar comfort food. However […]

Nduja Mascarpone and Lemon Pasta

I’m always on the lookout for new pasta recipes. Recently someone on Instagram posted a photo from Padella of a pasta dish with nduja (apologies, I can’t remember who posted it). Well, I became obsessed and started researching recipes. I love nduja and the idea of pairing it with rich mascarpone with sharp lemon cutting […]

Lemon Cheesecake

I was making desserts for an Easter get together and could not make up my mind what to make. Normally I would make something with chocolate because, well, chocolate. But given the fact that everyone was probably going to be gorging on chocolate eggs all day I thought something zingy would do the trick. So […]

Brussels Sprouts, Apple and Halloumi Salad

  I know it’s unusual to post a salad recipe at this time of year. Normally I’m sharing recipes for comfort dinners or cake but for some reason I’ve been eating a lot of fresh light meals lately. That’s not a bad thing, there has been plenty of indulgent food on my table too!

Chicken Piccata

  The first time I heard of Chicken Piccata was a few years ago watching Ina Garten on Barefoot Contessa. She makes everything look so simple and delicious. I have been playing around with recipes for it ever since. It is one of those dishes that can be on the table in under 30 minutes, […]
