Roast Veg & Bean Salad With Grilled Turkey
I serve this colourful and nutritious salad with grilled turkey for my protein source, but it will pair perfectly with many other protein choices as well, including salmon, chicken, halloumi or trout. The orange mustard dressing really lifts the flavour of the meal while still …
Thai Mackerel & Sweet Potato Traybake
This recipe was inspired by one on BBC Good Food. I swapped broccoli for spinach so that I could keep it all in one pan and save on the washing up. You do need a food processor or blender for this one to make the …
Indian Cooking Lessons with Sense Adventures
Sense Adventures is a company founded by Dee Jones, initially running outdoor activity holidays for the visually impaired. Like many others, Dee has had to expand in to the virtual world of zoom during the current climate. She offers several workshops including yoga, creative writing and …
Coping with Lockdown 3.0
I’m aware I’ve been a little quiet on the blog lately. If I’m honest, I’ve been struggling to find anything interesting to write about. Its a really tricky time for most people right now, so at least I know I’m not alone in feeling a …

Venison, Chickpea & Pumpkin Tagine
This tagine can be either made on the hob or in a slow-cooker. The venison can be swapped for beef if you prefer, and the pumpkin can be replaced with butternut squash. The apricots give sweetness, balancing out the spices and the flaked almonds add …
Thai Pumpkin & Fish Curry
I do love a Thai curry. It’s amazing how many different vegetables work really well in one. This uses pumpkin, kale and green beans. The key is to cook the pumpkin long enough that it starts to soften and absorb the flavours of the coconut …
Halloumi, Pumpkin & Wild Rice Salad
This is a substantial salad that is great on a miserable autumnal evening. The mint dressing keeps it fresh, the pomegranate adds pops of sweetness and the wild rice gives it a lovely nutty texture. Basmati rice would work if you are short on time, …
