Mac and Cheese

With bacon. I probably should have stressed this in the title but anywho, this is Mac and Cheese with bacon. Some versions of this dish are quite dry but mine is probably more Mac with Cheese Sauce. I know some people like to keep their Mac and Cheese as plain as possible, I’m not one […]

Caprese Stuffed Chicken

I’ve already blathered on about the fact that Caprese Salad is one of my favourite things about Summer. Simple, good quality food with few ingredients – perfect!

Strawberry Goats’ Cheese and Pancetta Salad

I know what you’re thinking, more strawberries! I just can’t resist them, there is always a punnet of them in my fridge when they are at their peak. The thing is, I have no problem using them in breakfasts or sweet desserts but struggled for a long time with using them in savoury food.

You’d think I’d […]

Mushrooms on Toast

Two blog posts in one week – you lucky things! It’s more beige food but trust me beige can be utterly delicious. And yes, I really am posting a recipe for Mushrooms on Toast.

I was watching Masterchef Australia recently – I’m obsessed! – when the contestants had to make grapes the star ingredient of a dish. It made me realise that I don’t cook enough with grapes. I love them when they are roasted, like in this Roasted Grapes with Feta and Walnuts.

Courgette and Sweetcorn Fritters

As I didn’t get around to posting last week, this week you are getting two posts. You lucky things! Regular readers of this blog know how much I love a special weekend breakfast. I recently had brunch with a friend and decided to go for a change from the usual avocado on toast. So I […]
