Mushrooms with garlic, pine nuts, lemon and coriander
Day three of the cleanse and the novelty has well and truly worn off. I would kill for a decent coffee; in fact I feel quite murderous in general. On the plus side, dinner for […]
Fruit
Spicy prawns, roast veg, blanched beans
I’ve been over indulging. It has to stop. We are off to Cornwall for a weekend of sea air, sea food and salad so tonight I got into the swing with this. Virtually no carb, […]
Sugar-free coconut and cranberry flapjacks
One for the looming sugar-free February. You can adapt this to use whatever dried fruit you like, just try to stick to the suggested proportions. What to use Porridge oats – 300g Mixed seeds – […]
Strawberry and chia seed porridge
Not used chia seeds before. They suck up more moisture than porridge so use a bit more milk (or water) than you’d usually use. They add a gloopier consistency but also a bit of a […]
Basil and parsley pesto
I tried to make basil pesto for the first time a couple of months ago. The kindest thing anyone could have said about that version was that it was green. This time, however, I hit the […]

I’m having a bit of a courgette renaissance, if there is such a thing. And if there isn’t, there should be. In particular using it with pasta. This one is light, creamy, crunchy. What to […]
10-minute pasta – pea, spinach and salmon
Quick, easy, light, healthy, and tasty. Also a name I’m putting forward for S Cowell’s next boy band. What to use 70g pasta 40g smoked salmon two handfuls of frozen peas handful of spinach olive […]
Baby broad bean, spinach and baby gem pasta
Another 10-minute and inexpensive pasta to add to the collection. I wanted to do something veggie and spring-like today. I’ve never ‘cooked’ lettuce before, and this isn’t really cooked, just added to the end product, […]
Roast haloumi and veg pasta with garlic cream
I’ve done this a couple of times now. I can’t for the life of me get it to LOOK very attractive, but it does taste very attractive. This is definitely one for the 20% category because […]
