Okay so I have to confess, this is a pasta recipe that uses Sainsbury’s Basil & Pine Nut Margherite. I did not make the pasta. The pasta is amazing. I did not need to make it. Sainsbury’s have nailed it! Phew, now that’s out of the way, you may not agree that this is a…
We made this delicious dish at the weekend for lunch, but it would equally make a great dinner option. Our serving sizes are rather big, so depending on how much you eat, this recipe could serve 4 (1 wrap each), with a side salad and perhaps some grilled corn. You may look at the photos…
Last weekend we had Katy and her boyfriend come to stay with us and so we decided to cook up this little storm for breakfast! A friend of mine kindly gifted me a Let’s Do Brunch recipe book for Christmas and it’s been a godsend when trying to think of new dishes to make at…
Who doesn’t love a stir fry? It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s full of vegetables, it’s colourful and it tastes good every time you make it! This is a great dish to rustle up when you’re short of time or too lazy to cook something more elaborate. We normally have a stir fry at least once…
Totally stolen another Jamie Oliver recipe here, but I spotted it on his site, made it and couldn’t not share it, as it is deee-licious! Using creamy ricotta, cauliflower, and mushrooms, and seasoned with thyme and parsley, this penne pasta dish is a great alternative to the crowd pleasing tomato based pasta dishes. Cauliflower I…

You simply choose which box you want (vegetarian or meat), how many times you would like to receive it (3 or 5 days) and on which…
This is a little bit of a different recipe from me this week. After Christmas we had a lot of sprouts leftover and were unsure how to use them up. I spent a few minutes Googling sprout recipes and I was surprised to find this Middle Eastern roasted sprout dish on the Jamie Oliver website….
I love to head out at a weekend for brunch with friends or with my boyfriend, Stew. I often opt for the classic avocado on toast, because I much prefer a savoury brunch dish, than a sweet one, and nothing goes together better than avocado and poached egg. I could literally eat the two together…
This hearty soup is packed full of goodness, to keep those dreaded cold and flu bugs at bay at this time of year. Plus it’s warming, herb broth, is sure to have you making it over and over again. It’s the perfect dish for a cold winter’s day. I had never cooked with pearl barley…
There’s nothing I like more than coming home after a busy day at work, and a freezing cold walk from the tube station, to a warm, hearty meal for dinner. Especially one that takes under an hour to prepare and cook, and allows you to get on with some household chores during said time frame…
You may remember, a little while ago I blogged about a Thai coconut soup recipe, and today’s recipe post features the remainder of the red curry paste I used in that recipe. Most jars of paste will warn you to use within 3 days of opening, but I’m a firm believer in using things up…
