Blueberry and almond pancakes
Another Anna Jones inspired mmmmeal. I’ve done these pancakes twice now. The second time I tried it with fried bananas but it didn’t really work for me – though I’d happily add raw sliced banana […]

A sort of sushi
Excuse the awful photo. It’s much nicer than it looks in my pic. And although it appears long-winded, it takes 25 mins and is well worth it. Another Anna Jones inspired dish. I’ve done […]
Chick pea and prawn salad
This is one of the quickest and easiest mmmmeals to make, and makes a perfect weekend lunch, especially during the summer. The anchors of this dish are the humble chick pea, olive oil and lemon […]
