Who says salads are just for summer? I love a salad but prefer something warm during these colder days. And after indulging too much recently with Diwali and birthdays, I could do with something a little bit lighter. This is a great mid week meal and is hardly even a recipe, it’s more of a…

Pan Fried Sea Bass, Spicy Cannellini Beans and Fresh Basil Pesto
I took a trip to the Mediterranean this week, but only went as far as my kitchen. I am craving a holiday so much. I miss trying new foods and learning about new cultures. One of my favourite places to visit is Italy. The food there is so fresh and inviting, and its not all…

Chai Spiced Coconut Porridge
We’ve all been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I agree! I can’t seem to start my day without a hearty breakfast, and porridge is the go to choice. It truly does keep me full until lunch but like anything, I get bored of the same old combinations. Therefore…
Urad Daal (Black Lentil Daal)
I hope you’ve all had a great bank holiday weekend. What is going on with the weather? Snow in April? Now I’ve seen it all. Bring back the sun please, I’m cold. If you’re anything like me, you’ve been over indulging the past few days. As lovely as it was, I now crave some simple…

Turkish Kebabs – Friday Fakeaway

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…
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…
