Lettuce is so often overlooked as just a salad vegetable but it is also fantastic when cooked! This is a really simple and quick soup to make yet delicious. It can also be served cold as a gaspatcho.

Spring is nearly in full swing here, the silver birches are finally getting beautiful pale green delicate leaves, the gorse bushes are covered in thousands of yellow flowers which is making our hillside a vivid yellow in colour. I really love Spring when it finally starts to arrive in the Highlands, I think it is … More Creme Fraiche Garlic and Chive Dip

My version uses almonds as I had no pine nuts in my cupboards but plenty of almonds. If you prefer a creamier texture an avocado can be … More Kale and Almond Pesto Pasta
When I was younger my sister and I used to make an avocado and walnut risotto that I used to love.
