Happy Mother’s Day to all Mums! Even though we are still in lockdown and may not be with our loved ones this Sunday, let’s take comfort in knowing we will hopefully be with our nearest and dearest very soon. At least we have technology to connect us 🙂 For those of you who know me…

Easy Prawn Laksa
Are any of you getting bored of the same old recipes at home? I am! Every week my husband and I rack our brains to think about what to eat for the week. I’m sure we are not alone here. This is why I love to share recipes as it sparks ideas. I love a…
Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni
Sometimes its nice to make something that’s a little more special. Whether its for your other half or you just feel like treating yourself (why not?), this is a great recipe to adapt. There are so many recipes out there so feel free to put your own spin on it, but this is how I…
Chipotle Veggie Chilli Con Carne
I absolutely love Mexican food but sometimes get a little bored with the same old combinations. This veggie chilli con carne is certainly not boring and is definitely one to try. Spicy, smokey and hearty, this chilli is made with mixed beans and vegetables and therefore super healthy too (unless you top it with too…
Asian Steamed Sea Bass
Sea bass is my absolute favourite fish. It’s so delicate and versatile. I normally pan fry fillets or oven cook a whole sea bass, but this time I decided to try something different, and oh my was it worth it. I steamed the sea bass fillets in greaseproof paper parcels and the fish came out…
Chicken Toad in the Hole
Toad in the hole is a British classic. A giant Yorkshire pudding with sausages baked in the middle? Yes please. Although sausages are not great for the waistline. We don’t often eat sausages but I really wanted toad in the hole so I thought, why not put something else in the middle? That’s how chicken…
Healthier Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs
Who doesn’t love spaghetti and meatballs? It’s such a comforting dish that makes you feel great. But I decided to make a slighter healthier and lighter version. Only because I have consumed nearly an entire chocolate orange cake. But oh well. Balanced diet and all. I used lean turkey mince and it tasted great. I…
Breakfast Parathas
Breakfast Parathas on a Sunday morning is one of my best childhood memories. I would wake up to the smell of my Mum cooking them in the kitchen, and it would make me run down the stairs just so I could eat them hot off the fryer. Now every woman I know has a different…
Grilled Prawn Linguine
If you want a really quick but luxurious and satisfying dish, this is one for you. I love this dish because it feels slightly posh like something you would find in an Italian restaurant, but actually is very easy and accessible to make at home. There’s all sorts of recipes out there, but as you…
Sunday Slow Cooked Lamb Stew
Everyone loves a lazy Sunday, or at least a Sunday when you are not slaving away in the kitchen all day long. To me its a day to catch up on everything that I don’t get to do during the week and to find time to take a long walk by the canal, bake a…
