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…
Turkish Kebabs – Friday Fakeaway
Are you missing restaurants as much as I am? Let’s hope they re-open soon. As much as we love a takeaway, its sometimes nice to make your own version at home. Plus its cheaper and healthier! I love Turkish restaurants. The grilled kebabs with fluffy rice and those vibrant salads are heavenly. Served with lots…
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…
Ever made Spatchcock Chicken?
Well things have certainly changed since I last wrote a blog post. I am now the proud mother of a 6 month old baby girl (hence the lack of blogging – forgive me) and now we are all in quarantine with a Coronavirus lingering around. What a strange time! There are so many things to…

A tandoor oven is a traditional clay oven widely used in Indian cooking that cooks food at high temperatures over charcoal. It creates the most…
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…
