It’s not everyday that I come across a really easy recipe with simple ingredients that doesn’t require a lot of editing from me. And sometimes I think I come across them – on paper they appear promising only to be let down by the flavour in the end. And that is why I am SO…
Main Meals
Vegan Spaghetti Bolognaise
This Vegan Spaghetti Bolognaise recipe has its own kind of love language going on. It’s talking in fried mushrooms and simmered tomatoes and singing in cloves and carrots and dancing in red wine and mixed herbs. Oh yes, you’ll feel the love with each mouthful of this moreish vegan dish. Nevermind the spaghetti, you can…
Cauliflower and Chickpea Vegan Tikka Masala
This Vegan Tikka Masala with cauliflowers and chickpeas is a healthy yet scrumptious meal packed with protein, fibre and nutrients, but also, it’s flavour is rich and oh-so-spicy. It really does leave you feeling happy to be Vegan, even if it’s only for one meal! It is a great meatless Monday recipe as the prep…
Macaroni Cheese
A delightfully easy Macaroni Cheese recipe that you can whip up with basic pantry and fridge staples, with the option of adding extra tasty ingredients to maximise on flavour. The cheese sauce is the heart of this Macaroni Cheese recipe and if you have never made a cheese sauce before, never fear because I have…
Spicy Romesco Pasta
Introducing this delightful vegan pasta recipe with all sorts of twisty, tangy, heavenly flavours. Say hello to ~ Spicy Romesco Pasta. What I love about this recipe is the part where it says, “throw all sauce ingredients into the blender”. It has a magical ring to it and you know the evening is off to…
Easy Vegetarian Lasagne
As part of my family’s effort to eat less meat, I have been trying out all sorts of vegetarian and vegan meals. Not the easiest project however! Trying to make meals that are vegetarian / vegan which are also kid-friendly sends a bead or two of sweat down my forehead, far too regularly. It is…
5-Ingredient Butternut Soup
Probably the easiest soup you’ll ever make. In fact, no, it IS the easiest soup you will ever make. There are not frills to this 5-ingredient butternut soup but the taste is amazing! I always maintain that adding more ingredients to a dish doesn’t always make it taste better. Less ingredients means you get to…
Bacon & Basil Pesto Pasta
Try and say Bacon & Basil Pesto Pasta fast 3 times. That’s your basic brain workout for today. Now try and say it backwards. That’s your advanced brain workout for the day. It’s a pleasure. This recipe is again a 5-ingredient recipe. I am LOVING cooking with just 5-ingredients (okay we’re not counting, salt, pepper…
20-Minute Chicken Teriyaki – With Only 5 Ingredients!
I am totally hooked on 5-ingredient meals. HOOKED! After browsing through a friend’s copy of Jamie Olivers 5-ingredient meals, I was so inspired to create meals with only 5 ingredients. It just makes so much sense! This isn’t one of Jamie’s recipes but it does use some of his common combinations like teriyaki and chilli….
20-Minute Creamy Smoked Salmon and Lemon Pasta
This you guys. This is your best friend in a recipe format. It is a creamy pasta full of smoked salmon, lemon (juice and zest), fresh Dill, cream and creme fraiche (I did say it was a creamy pasta!!), a dash of Chilli (which just adds flavour) and then a little salt and pepper. Let’s…
Mini Chicken and Mushroom Pies
I ditched buying store bought pies a long time ago – they just taste ughhh. Once you’ve become accustomed to a good homemade pie (like these mini Chicken and Mushroom Pies), there is just no going back unfortunately. What do you say? Homemade food has a knack of setting that bar high! I often have to learn…
Red Lentil and Lemon Soup
I have never used raw lentils in a soup, until I tried this soup. For some reason I thought they took FOREVER to cook. Turns out, they only take 20 minutes, if that. So, it’s a good enough reason to keep that wholesome looking jar of red lentils in my pantry and a VERY good…
