Shepherd’s Pie

Made with lamb mince rather than beef, Shepherd’s Pie is an opportunity for beautiful flavours wrapped up in perfect comfort food. Minted peas are the ideal side dish for this family favourite.

Roasted Beetroots

Roasting Beetroots allow the beautiful, delicate flavour of this majestic vegetable to shine through. Just add olive oil, salt and sprigs of rosemary to create a perfect side dish.

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 😉

Greek Lamb Shoulder

Slowly cooking a shoulder of lamb with some classic Greek flavours is incredibly easy. The fork-soft lamb is wonderful in wraps and tacos or serve it alongside minted potatoes and pour over the amazing roasting juices.

Oven Baked Meatballs

It’s easy to make big batches of meatballs by baking them in the oven. It’s far less messy than cooking them on the stove top.

Tinned Potatoes, Mushrooms and Kale

Tinned potatoes become something earthy and filling in this dish. Potatoes, Mushrooms and Kale is quick to put together and really easy to eat. I love it with a runny fried egg.

Kid’s Bolognese Sauce

This kid-friendly Bolognese sauce has lots of nutrition without Henry being able to spot that it has veggies in it. I make it in batches to save myself time the following weeks.

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.
