Broccoli Orecchiette
Do you want to know how to make one of the cheapest and simplest tasty pasta dishes ever? Its also pretty low cal too depending on how much cheese you use! I saw this on another site that I follow called “Sip and Feast” there are some lovely recipes on there and not too difficult. …
Cauliflower, Pomegranate and Pistachio salad
Another healthy one I am afraid! A good lunchbox filler though if you like cauliflower and don’t like eating sandwiches every day! This recipe is from “Simple” by Otteolenghi – you may have noticed that it’s my new fave book – my next one is also from there…. Some fattening food soon though I promise!! …
Avocado Butter on Toast with Tomato Salsa
First recipe I have tried from my new “Simple” book by Yotam Ottolenghi. I was flicking through this morning and stumbled across this beauty knowing I had a few over ripe avocados in the fruit bowl ( they were going to end up as guacamole on fajitas for tea). Simple and delicious and I will …
Baked Aubergine with Preserved Lemon and Yoghurt.
I know I know.. another Aubergine dish! But I do love them! Another one from Olive magazine with a few tweaks that I felt it needed. This is great served as a lunch or a side dish. The recipe in the magazine uses a few strands of saffron to colour the yoghurt but I personally …
Green beans with olives and goats cheese.
I cooked a nice meal for me and the other half this weekend, no babysitters so I brought the restaurant to us! I pulled some pages out of my Olive magazine and tried a few new dishes. This one was actually a dish that is served in Little Duck The Picklery and looked really fresh …
Cauliflower Tacos
The cauliflower I remember from childhood was almost like mashed potato it had been boiled that much! ( sorry Grandma G) but I grew to really like it like that if I am honest. These days there are so many more uses for cauliflower and I have recently seen cauliflower pizza bases, cauliflower rice, cauliflower …
Chilli and Chicken Ramen
I have been eating a lot of soup recently to try and keep the pounds off but quite frankly – ITS BORING!! It doesn’t even feel like eating so I had a think about how I could make it more interested and remembered a Ramen I had once at Wagamama. I looked at a few …
Kung Pao Cauliflower
Since starting my blog another benefit I have discovered is seeing other people’s food blogs too! There are a few I follow regulary and this recipe stuck out immediately and I have been wanting to try it for a while. I love spicy Szechuan food and I am a big fan of cauliflower and am …
Matar Paneer
A very tasty vegetarian curry that I thoroughly enjoyed! I used a traditional recipe but threw in a few things of my own near the end to enhance the taste so maybe not truly authentic! I started with a recipe from “Curry Nation” by Madhur Jaffrey. Ingredients Serves 4 1 large block of Paneer Cheese …
Vegetarian Indian Dinner party!
So the menu changed slightly for Friday night, I decided the chickpea salad was a bit boring and when I made the panacottas with vege gelatin powder ( luckily a few days in advance) it was just not the right consistency so got chucked in the bin! The final menu was Popadoms with Homemade mango …
