Potato Salad

Aug 18, 2018 |

Early season potatoes are the best for this, and it’s a great side for my Lamb and Beef Kebabs. My hubby doesn’t like the mayo loaded potato salads that are commonly available; so I make this version for him, and if I’m honest I prefer it now myself. I often make it and take it to friends parties and it has always been gratefully received. It’s also fabulous with mackerel, in fact I could just eat it out of the bowl any day, all day. Ingredients – serves 4 but is easily doubled or tripled for...

Carrot and Cumin Salad

Aug 16, 2018 |

This is so simple, and a really tasty addition to any meal. I serve it as part of a tapas, or as a side with any kind of barbecue in the summer. It’s also great for picnics and if we have leftover kebabs or chicken I like it with the cold meat in my lunchbox. It’s a pretty salad due to the ribbons, which are so easy to make.  Simply use a peeler and run it down the length of the carrot, you will need to turn it occasionally to get the maximum out of each carrot. I blanch the carrots in boiling...

Breakfast Rolls

Aug 11, 2018 |

This is a fabulous Jame Oliver recipe, he calls them crumpies, but with my regional midlands accent that just makes my husband crease up, so I’ve renamed them Breakfast Rolls, the rest is unchanged. I’m not sure when he invented them but I’ve made them about 6 times since I discovered them a couple of months ago. I’ve even halved the recipe successfully as there is often only me and hubby for breakfast and 12 of these is quite excessive, but they do keep ok for a couple of days and are nice...

Carrot and Cumin Bread Rolls

Aug 7, 2018 |

These are lovely soft and moist buns and they have a really interesting taste, so you could just have them on their own. I’ve made them for breakfast as they are much quicker than traditional white rolls. They are brilliant as burger buns as they are slightly dense and so stand up to a meat burger, and also keep well enough for a packed lunch the next day. I’ve also made them with parsnip – which I actually preferred but my hubby said they were a bit sweet for him. Ingredients - makes 6 – 8...

Summer Greens, Beans and Lentil Curry

Jul 31, 2018 |

This tasty yet light curry is perfect in the summer, it’s pretty quick to cook and you can keep it for a few days in the fridge. I sent a portion to a friend who was recuperating in hospital, I packed some curry along with basmati rice and popped in into a tiffin box to be delivered to her nice a warm. It’s a super healthy dish, full of iron, and so perfect for anyone feeling a bit under the weather. Ingredients – serves 2-3 • Large onion finely chopped • 2 tblsp vegetable oil • 2 garlic...

Oat and Apricot Savoury Biscuits

Jul 27, 2018 |

If you follow me on Instagram you will know that these biscuits were created entirely by accident, however, once I got over the shock of them not being sweet they were actually quite nice.!! We ate them with a bit of cheddar as a snack and even my husband, who normally turns his nose up at having any kind of fruit with cheese (he’s more of a celery and tomato fan) enjoyed them. Ingredients • 100g plain • 75g porridge oats • 50g dried apricots – chopped • 80ml rapeseed oil • 1 tblsp ground...
