Pesto Gnocchi and Peas

When I’m too tired to cook or too short on time then I rely on pre-made ingredients like gnocchi to make a tasty and nutritious family meal.

Egg Mustard Mayo and Cress

The classic Egg Mayo and Cress gets a little oomph in my lunchtime staple. Spread thickly on some toasted sourdough, this is a beautiful and filling delight,

Kid’s Quick Heart-Shaped Pizza

These cute little heart-shaped pizzas are a great way to get the kids involved in Valentine’s Day.

Kid-Friendly Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

A stir-fry is such a useful mid-week dish. It’s fast and delicious and this Beef and Broccoli recipe is kid-friendly with less salt than lots of Beef and Broccoli recipes.

Dinosaur Egg Rolls

By telling Henry that I make these Dinosaur Egg Rolls with eggs I buy directly from Jurassic Park he is quite happy to chomp his way through a good chunk of spinach 😉

Pickled Carrot Salad

Pickled Carrot Salad is one of my absolute favourites because it goes with so many other dishes and tastes incredible. It’s one of those dishes that just makes you feel good.

Minted Peas and Feta

The humble frozen pea has never looked so beautiful. I adore this little vegetable and paired with feta and mint it’s delightful. I make this side dish a lot in the summer.

Butter Beans and Spinach

Tinned beans are an easy and tasty way to get great protein and fibre into your diet. Butter Beans and Spinach is packed with fibre and iron too so it’s a power dish that tastes great.

Tarted Up Soup

Soup toppings can turn a tin or tub of soup into something hearty and special. I have lots of soup toppings ideas to make some ordinary look and taste amazing.

Hot Feta and Chilli Sandwiches

I’ve been in love with this sandwich since the first time I saw Nigel Slater make his hot feta sandwich. The contrasting flavours and temperatures make it a delight to eat.
