I made this for lunch a couple of weekend’s ago, after finding the recipe whilst browsing Pinterest. It was so tasty that I had to share it. It’s a super easy dish to make, and is a great vegetarian alternative to a chicken shawarma. The addition of avocado, iceberg lettuce and cucumber, keeps it fresh….
I’ve never been a huge egg mayo fan. It would never have been my choice of sandwich. However, a colleague had a homemade egg sandwich for lunch last week, and it looked delicious. I’d never thought about making egg mayonnaise myself before. So the following weekend, I bought half a dozen free range eggs, Hellman’s…
It might look like a long list of ingredients but this tasty sweet potato, chickpea and lentil curry is super easy to make! Whilst spices can be expensive, they’re a fantastic investment. If you’re into cooking already, or are enthusiastic to start broadening your recipes, you will need spices… And they most definitely won’t sit in…

A risotto isn’t something I often make, largely due to the fact that I’ve always thought it takes forever to make, painstakingly stirring for hours on end. However, I was surprised and thrilled to find this quick and simple leek and pea risotto recipe on HelloFresh. From start to finish, this risotto was made in 30…
Although I’ve previously posted a vegetarian lasagne recipe, I couldn’t resist sharing this one, as it’s very different to the first, but equally as delicious. I first found inspiration for this recipe because we had two tubs of mushrooms that desperately needed using up, so I first searched for a mushrooms lasagne recipe, and then…
Pasta bake (pasta in general), has to be one of my favourite foods. It’s hearty, warming and is the perfect comfort food. This weekend, nursing a sore head after a rather fun wedding, we decided to rustle up a pasta bake for dinner. We normally opt for a tomato based bake, but as it’s summer…
This week is World Meat Free Week, a campaign to encourage consumers to try at least one meat free meal per week. If you’re a follower of mine, you’ll know that I eat lots of vegetarian and sometimes vegan meals. In fact, we very rarely cook with meat at home now. I’m not a vegetarian…
I don’t mean to brag, but how GOOD to do these tortillas look? Oh my! I absolutely love Mexican food, and we make black bean frijoles all the time, but how have we never made Huevos Rancheros before, I don’t know! Every element on the plate is delicious – spicy salsa, garlic black beans, fresh…
I was given the recipe for these spinach and pine nut veggie meatballs, at a Linda McCartney event I attended recently – Linda’s Veggie Table. Using Linda McCartney’s vegetarian sausages, these tasty meatballs are super easy to make, and surprisingly taste a lot like meat! The texture is almost identical to authentic meatballs, which is…
It’s National Vegetarian Week this week, and to celebrate I attended a cooking demo with Linda McCartney’s head chef last weekend in Bristol. Held at The Paintworks, Jay McGuiness (of The Wanted) also attended, sharing with us some of his favourite veggie meals. Named ‘Linda’s Veggie Table’, the event took place in both Bristol and…
