Prawn and spinach-stuffed salmon en croute
This weekend I felt like doing something a bit more involved and trying something new. I’d done a James Martin salmon en croute a few years ago and that was delicious, but I decided to go it […]
Fruit
Fruit, nut and honey yoghurt
I had a huge craving for Greek yoghurt yesterday so I had this for lunch. I topped the yoghurt with a Braeburn apple, taken from the fridge and chopped into cubes. Then I added some […]
Apple tarte tartin
I’ve made this now for pretty much everyone I know because it’s easy. I am not good at puddings a) because I don’t generally eat them, b) because I can’t generally make them, and c), […]
Mushroom, courgette and pinenut pasta
This was another Saturday lunchtime creation which involved pulling together some of my favourite things: the subtle sweetness of a firm young courgette, plump mushrooms, toasted nuts, pungent garlic, fresh lemon juice and a big pile of […]
A warm pepper, tomato and quinoa salad

Salmon in a creamy prawn, white wine and garlic mushroom sauce
An idea for a fishy Friday night dinner or an alternative Sunday roast. We had it as a Sunday roast. Salmon is quite a ‘meaty’ fish and worked really well with the roast spuds and […]
Paella – chorizo, prawn, chicken and salmon
This is a bit involved, but not difficult, and if you do it like I did – with some prep beforehand – it won’t take you away to the kitchen for very long when your […]
Courgette, pine nut and coriander pasta
You will need to lay your hands on a pleasingly-sized courgette for this. I was at home unexpectedly today so grabbed things from the fridge that needed using and came up with this. It’s light and […]
Cherry tomato, red pepper and mushroom pasta
This was the result of the need to use some nearly questionable vegetables before they became unusable. It resulted in a really lovely pasta sauce. Light, sweet, fruity, with a kick from the lemon and […]
Lemon, herb and avocado spaghetti with a poached egg
Spaghetti is not date food what with all that sucking and slurping and potential to get bolognese all over your bonce. But you might not be left red-faced with this recipe if one of those slippery strands does […]
