Is it too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year?! I took a bit of a break from the blog for a few weeks which was great as now I’m refreshed and have a load of ideas for posts.

Brussels Sprouts, Beetroot and Pomegranate Salad
If you indulged in last weeks chocolate trifle and feel a little guilty, this salad is the perfect way to ease your mind! It is seasonal, fresh, light but also very tasty!
Duck Ragu
My Kitchen Rules is one of my favourite TV shows. I do watch a lot of cookery shows but I feel mildly bereft when a season of MKR comes comes to an end!
