Grilled Watermelon and Sesame Feta Salad

This is one of my favourite salads. And everytime I make it I wonder why I don’t make it more often! Watermelon and Feta salads are not an original idea. If you’ve never had one I urge you to try it, the combination of sweet melon and salty feta cheese is so refreshing.

Butterflied Leg of Lamb – in a Kebab!

When Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem was first published the first recipe I tried was his Lamb Shawarma. The recipe has been widely praised. Sadly, I was left disappointed.

So I was flicking through Rick Stein’s India looking for inspiration and came across his recipe for lamb samosas. Bingo! Samosas are fried or baked pastry parcels with a savoury, […]

DIY Pot Noodles

I have come across this recipe a few times on various blogs and boards but when The Guardian recently put this article on Pinterest I thought I’d give it a go myself. I swore I would bring my lunch to work more often and I think I could count on one hand the amount of […]
