Aubergine parmigiana – cheesy baked aubergines – is one of those dishes that seems to take forever to make. This is largely because you have to slice up a load of aubergines and grill or fry them in batches before you can then assemble and bake the dish in the oven. This is a quick and easy version using the […]
Spinach Pancakes
Pancakes are quick and easy, if only they were more savoury… I mean you could have sweet pancakes for dinner – I’m not stopping you – but I need some savoury! These spinach pancakes are super easy to whip up, and are pretty fool-proof. Just make sure you have a decent non-stick pan, or use plenty of butter or oil […]
Festive Mocktails
It’s the festive season again! The best time of the year, and it comes with the best food and drink. Everyone loves a cocktail at a party or as an evening treat in front of the Christmas tree, a crackling fire or just while watching the television. Not everyone wants alcohol, though, and these non-alcoholic cocktails (mocktails) are just as […]
Pecan Cinnabundt
What better way to feel cosy in the Autumn months than the warming spicy notes of cinnamon? Combo that with sweet pecans and an enriched dough and you’ve got yourself a taste par-tay! This cinnabundt ticks a lot of boxes – perfect to have on standby for an indulgent breakfast or brunch treat, it could also serve as a fun […]
Courgette and Pine Nut Pasta
This simple vegan pasta dish makes courgette (zucchini) the star of the show, and is perfect for either a hot dinner or a cold lunch dish. It takes hardly any time to cook once you’ve grated all the courgettes! This’ll serve 4 hungry people or 6 less hungry people. The courgette is quickly melted down in olive oil and tossed […]
Watermelon and Lime Summer Cocktail
Sometimes you fancy something other than an ice-cold beer or wine in the summer. However, a lot of summer cocktails are overly sweet and get sickly in the heat. Here’s where our watermelon and lime summer cocktail comes in! Super refreshing, thirst quenching, and not too strong. It’s perfect for evenings out in the garden or yard. The lime and […]
Tequila and Lime No-Bake Cheesecake with Peaches and Rosemary Syrup
Cheesecake is my husband’s absolute favourite so I’m always keeping an eye out for different ways to mix things up with this classic dessert. Baked cheesecakes are great and a satisfying challenge, but I often struggle to get the balance right with temperature and end up slightly burning the top. So, its great to have a simple no-bake cheesecake handy […]
Quick Pickled Chillis
These quick pickled chillis are perfect for topping all kinds of dishes. They take no time at all to prepare and are ready to use in just 20 minutes, and will last a few days in the fridge. I’ve enjoyed these pickled chillis in burritos, on top of eggs, on pasta dishes and pizzas. Like jarred jalapeños, these are tangy, […]
Huevos Rancheros
Huevos Rancheros is perfect for any meal, but makes for a particularly amazing brunch or a quick and tasty dinner. Start by preparing a batch of our Best Black Bean Chilli, as you’ll need the leftovers (if there are any!) for this. The black bean chilli freezes pretty well, so you could always make a big pot and portion it […]

I love all kinds of chilli, and this black bean chilli is right up with the best. A good beef chilli takes at least a couple of hours. This chilli takes only 30 minutes, so you can enjoy it any day of the week. It’s great for meat eaters and vegetarians alike, and is easily adaptable for vegans. The richness […]
