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…
I absolutely love pesto, so much so that I have at it at least once a week. Whether it’s on a pizza, spread over a piece of sourdough, or mixed into pasta. Shamefully, I’ve never actually tried to make pesto myself, but when it’s so reasonable to buy (perhaps even cheaper than making it yourself?),…
We’re on a bit of a health kick this week, and so we’re attempting a vegetarian week. The first of many dishes, was a recipe I found online – Butterbean, Carrot & Spinach Stew. Full of fresh vegetables, herbs and spices, this one pot stew is ready in under 30 minutes, making it the perfect…
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have spotted this epic pasta bake on my Stories last night! We were both in the mood for some comfort food, and what is more comforting than a pasta bake? We hadn’t made one in forever, and although it’s the easiest thing to make, I did Google…
If like us, you went a little over the top with the cheeseboard this Christmas, and have a fridge full of cheese still, you might want to rustle up this quick and easy recipe. Blue cheese is one of our favourites, and it just so happens to go perfectly with pasta. I found this recipe…
Slightly cheating with this week’s recipe… I didn’t make my own red pesto, I bought a jar from our local grocer! But when you’re in need of a quick and healthy lunch, and you’re only make enough for one, I’m going to let myself off! This super bright and colour tagliatelle can be made in…
So I know the weather has dropped a few degrees but I made this salad at the weekend and it was de-lish! To good not to share. It basically includes all of my favourite things – bulgur wheat, feta, peas, radish, mint. All the good stuff! Not only is it super colourful and tasty, it’s…
You my have spotted this delicious looking pasta dish in the background of a recipe I posted a few weeks ago. I served our pasta primavera alongside a Stone’s ginger wine cocktail, with elderflower cordial, soda and cucumber, and the two were delicious together. The freshness of all the ingredients used in both food and…
