Sweetcorn Avocado and Tomato Salad

  I haven’t posted in almost a month which to be honest isn’t all that unusual at this time of year. I had 2 weeks off work and had no intention of turning on a laptop during this time. We didn’t go anywhere but spent really gorgeous days doing walks and playing tourist near home. […]

Melon Tomato and Feta Salad

I’ve been waiting a long time to post this recipe for Melon Tomato and Feta Salad. I had a similar salad last year in London and have had it in my drafts ever since. It’s not something you post in December so now that there’s a hint of Summer in the air I’m going with […]

Mexican Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad

I had planned to post a recipe for lamb this week. Then I discovered that this week is National Vegetarian Week so I decided to go with this Mexican Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad instead.
