Tricolore on toast
I had some stale-ish homemade bread, avocado, tomatoes and a mozzarella that needed using up. I will definitely do this again. Took 3 minutes to make. A 3-minute masticatory miracle. What to use – serves 2 […]
Tomatoes
Chorizo, cheese and tomato frittata with skin-on chips
This weekend’s Sunday breakfast, and the result of an outrageously unenthusiastic reaction to my suggestion of egg on toast. Because of the chorizo and pancetta, there was a lot of oil in the pan. If I […]
Cherry tomato, red pepper and mushroom pasta

Courgette and feta pasta
This is a recipe based on one by Anna Jones in her wonderful book Modern Way to Eat recommended to me by my friend Matthew who is one of the most health conscious people I know. It’s […]
Gnocchi, roast butternut squash and cherry tomato pesto
I came up with this idea while on my exercise bike, feeling quite ravenous. I knew I wanted to eat something substantial, but nutritious and if possible under 500 calories. The gnocchi is home made, […]
Cherry tomato pesto
