I am obsessed with turmeric and tahini at the moment. I put tahini on everything, toast, porridge, salads… I could go on. The lovely warming and vibrant qualities of turmeric are also wonderful, especially now that late spring is finally here. I have always the flavour of tahini, as a child I loved it when … More Turmeric and Tahini Sauce
Savoury crumbles remind me of cold winter days. This spring version is lighter and fresher, perfect for cooler spring days when you want something warming yet spring like. I used onions, leeks, courgette and broad beans in this and asparagus would work wonderfully in it too. There is a hint of lemon in the white … More Spring Savoury Crumble
My goodness we have been really ill! We are still not at the end of it but I think, hopefully, the end is in sight! Just a really nasty cold/flu virus, sore throat, headaches, swollen glands, snot monsters! We are not surprised though, Antony has been working insanely hard during January and February so is … More Roast Garlic and Butter Bean Dip
This is going to be a quick post!! I’m sitting here writing this post two minutes after having demolished this for my lunch!

Happy New Year! 2017 was an incredibly busy year for me and my family. We found out I was pregnant, moved house, celebrated our one year wedding anniversary and then had our beautiful baby boy. The last six weeks have been filled with so much love and happiness but also pain and fear. I doubt … More Roast Cauliflower, Spiced Chickpea and Quinoa Bowl
With the cold winter weather making a resurgence I have been making quite a lot of soups for lunch. This has been one of my favourite, smokey, sweet and spicy, just brilliant. It is very easy to chargrill red peppers if you have a gas hob, just hold them over the gas flame until they … More Chargrilled Red Pepper and Chilli Soup
It’s January! I am not a believer in January detoxes and diets, I just continue eating lots of fresh vegetables and fruit and less cheese and chocolate. There is still a wealth of seasonal fruit and vegetables to enjoy so it doesn’t just have to be imported fruit and vegetables. This month I am going … More British Fruit and Vegetables in Season January
This is just a quick post for a really simple salad dressing that I love. I really enjoy making homemade salad dressings as more often than not they are far better than shop bought and contain fresh ingredients and no preservatives. We have lots of pot of herbs which are all smelling amazing at the … More Lemon Thyme and Oregano Salad Dressing
Here is yet another salad bowl. Summer is just about deciding to finally appear in the Highlands. We’ve had brief glimpses of sunny weather with clouds but not warm enough to just wear a top and no jumper yet. I’m hoping that by the time it is my birthday I will be eating dinner outside … More Butter Bean, Courgette and Feta Salad
Just a quick post today sharing a really quick and easy lunch that I enjoy having. I always find that I just use tahini for making hummus so enjoy new uses for it such as this. I have also been experimenting with tahini dressings for salads (hopefully some new and exciting recipes to follow!). Avocado, … More Avocado, Tahini and Egg
