Salmon and sweet potato cakes
101 uses for crumpet rings Part III – fish cakes. I’m still on the detox and these are perfect for that using just fish and sweet potato. I tried to keep the fish/potato ratio 50:50 as […]

Moroccan spiced chicken with chick pea mash
Chick pea mash. Chick. Pea. Mash. Where have you been all my life? First time I’ve made or had it and it’ll definitely be on the menu throughout this winter. Ras el hanout is a […]
Monkfish with spicy beans
Day 4 of the cleanse: the homicidal tendencies and fatigue have largely passed but a stinky cold has taken their place. As such: out with the vitamin C, garlic, ginger and chilli. I had this […]

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 […]
10-minute pasta – courgette, cream cheese and toasted nuts
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 […]
