Homemade Burgers & BBQ Salads
So in the spirit of Summer (apparently it’s here in Britain although you wouldn’t know)… here’s my home-made BBQ. Albeit to be consumed under a brolly in a shivering 16C whilst pretending it’s not raining and it’s actually hot… I’m not complaining, I’m not I’m not… In a bid to cut out the sulphites,Continue reading “Homemade Burgers & BBQ Salads”

Chicory, Pear & Goats Cheese Salad
I’m not sure if this is an starter or a meal in itself? My portion sizes aren’t exactly very yoga (by which I mean make a bowl with your hands and that’s your portion size…) I just can’t decide how many times a day and how many servings per meal they mean… This one wasContinue reading “Chicory, Pear & Goats Cheese Salad”

Retro Rhubarb and Ginger Compote
When I think of rhubarb I think of ‘Roobarb and Custard’ the 1970’s kids TV show, or Rhubarb and Custard penny sweets, or endless Rhubarb crumbles every Sunday through the summer… I’m never very sure whether Rhubarb is a vegetable or a fruit and I’m always slightly panicked as to what to do with it.

Spelt & Honey Split-Tin Loaf
It’s been ages since I’ve made a loaf using commercial yeast, but yesterday was an exceptional day… My boy was home sick, and so was I. Nursing my sourdough, and getting up to bake it early this morning, was more than I could face. Plus, being the last week of January we are utterly utterlyContinue reading “Spelt & Honey Split-Tin Loaf”

Raw Winter Slaw
This is a lovely accompaniment to a hot buttery jacket potato. Is there ever a time when a jacket potato isn’t a good meal option? OK, so I recently found out that it’s not one of your five a day (sad face), but they’re full of fibre, vitamins and are a healthy source of carbohydratesContinue reading “Raw Winter Slaw”

Spinach & Red Lentil Chilli, Guac & Coriander Cashew Cream with Baked Sweet Potato
This is a feel good supper. It’s filling and hearty without being bloaty and guilty! I’ve been reading a brilliant book recently called ‘Gut’ by Giulia Enders, its really accessible for unsciency types like me, and really insightful when it comes to understanding how we digest food, how long it takes and what a powerful,Continue reading “Spinach & Red Lentil Chilli, Guac & Coriander Cashew Cream with Baked Sweet Potato”

It’s Clean, Lean & Green with Turmeric Cashew Cream
So this is it! The New Year officially starts here… Tim was back to work today and the kids are back to school tomorrow… The Christmas decorations are all down and I’ve had a major blitz of toys, books, DVDs, clothes and unidentifiable objects (which at one time, were probably either dough, ‘toxic slime’, hairContinue reading “It’s Clean, Lean & Green with Turmeric Cashew Cream”

Cranberry, Orange and Cinnamon Compote
It’s beginning to look (and smell) a lot like Christmas! Tim’s at the supermarket now, doing the ‘big shop’ and I’ve been busy in the kitchen… There’s Sauerkraut fermenting, fresh bread baked and I’m enjoying a cup of chamomile and honey tea as I write this. It’s blowing a gale outside but it’s warm inContinue reading “Cranberry, Orange and Cinnamon Compote”

An Open Letter to Brussels Sprouts & Maple Roast Sprouts with Walnuts & Beetroot
Dear Brussels Sprouts, I think you should know how much I appreciate you. Firstly you look like a cabbage, grown by a fairy, which makes me want to make a teeny tiny jar of Saurkraut out of you, or put you in the garden of my daughter’s doll’s house. I love that you chose toContinue reading “An Open Letter to Brussels Sprouts & Maple Roast Sprouts with Walnuts & Beetroot”
