Cauliflower and Giant Couscous Salad

At this time of year I love to experiment with hearty salads. I was recently flicking through Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook Cravings for the hundredth time and spotted her recipe for Roasted Cauliflower, Feta and Orzo Salad. I used to make it all the time when I first bought the book. It is a great recipe, […]

Balsamic Chicken Salad

It’s a bit of a funny week here and in a way I’ll be glad when it’s all over. On the plus side, it would appear that Summer has actually arrived! Cue sunburnt skin and the smell of burning barbecues everywhere. At this time of year I tend to cook speedy, lighter meals and this Balsamic Chicken […]

Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes

Last week Elizabeth from Life on Hushabye Farm posted a pic on Instagram of her baked potatoes and I realised I hadn’t made them in ages. So at the weekend I made a blast of my Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes. I was glad to have them when I came home dejected from watching Munster crash […]

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 […]

Caramelised Onion Tarte Tatin

Today I’m back to work after two weeks off. I’m not as blue about it as you might think, I feel like I’ve had a proper break. I also gave myself a break from the blog and social media in general, just dipping in and out the odd time. I’d highly recommend it. You might […]

Burrata with Cherries and Pistachio Pesto

 Burrata with Cherries and Pistachio Pesto Several weeks ago I saw a post on Instagram from Sarah from The Delicious enjoying a  meal of this description. Her feed is stunning by the way, full of colourful fresh healthy food. Anyway, I knew I had to make it myself. I have already waxed lyrical about my […]
