    Date Dip

    This is a fantastic recipe for anyone who loves to spread thick layers of creamy dip on top of freshly homemade bread from the best bakery you know. Sourdough if possible! It’s otherwise great served on the side of roasted veges with a fresh, green salad on the side. I promise it will become one…

    Lamb for dinner

    This one might be hard to decipher from the photo but it is YUM-MY so I’ll break it up for you: Autumn slow cooked lamb, roasted pumpkin and mushrooms with melted feta pieces, orange and coriander cous-cous. This was dinner tonight and no one (!) was disappointed! I know the lamb takes a bit longer…

    Orange Bean Salad

    This is one of those fantastic salads with hardly any ingredients, lots of flavour and also a good amount of protein. I’ve left it vegan in this version but you can easily sprinkle with feta or cottage cheese to up your protein intake. Or adding a can of tuna (drained) can also be a fantastic…

    Quinoa Risotto

    I didn’t have any risotto rice in the pantry today but it seemed like one of those days where a comforting, warm rice dish would be a good idea for dinner. I decided to improvise and experiment a little with things I did have: Quinoa, white beans, chickpeas, Parmesan. I settled on a risotto-like dish,…

    Cinnamon Pumpkin Cake

    This will most definitely be the fluffiest most moist cake you’ve ever eaten – I promise! And it is so easy to make! Don’t be put off by the making of the pumpkin puree – you can just ignore the pumpkin while it’s in the oven and then scoop the flesh out afterwards – easy…

    After School Eggs

    This is one of my go-to dishes on the days my teenagers tell me in the morning that they won’t be home to eat lunch after school…and then suddenly they change their plans and both of them are standing in the kitchen, starving and hoping for a really yummy meal…😅 Whack the pan on the…

    One Bowl Choc Dessert Cake

    I love one bowl cakes where you don’t have to plan anything in advance, the butter can be used straight from the fridge and the only clean up is a bowl and a couple of spoons. This cake has a dense, moist crumb. It’s not light and fluffy, the crumbs stick together because of the…

    Banana-Choc-Blueberry Smoothie

    This one is for my daughter Mia, who loves bananas, loves chocolate and loves any smoothie that is not green! She will still drink the green ones I make her but her eyes truly light up if she finds herself with a dessert smoothie in her hand – understandably ☺️. This a good alternative for…

    Dry Chilli Fry

    This is another one of those perfect weeknight meals that is easy to put together and leaves everyone feeling satisfied. It’s a drier version of chilli con carne, there are no tomatoes in it but there’s still the sweetness from the tomato paste and the small addition of sugar. I‘m only including the recipe for…

    Veg and Meatball Tray Bake

    This is probably not the most „photo-pretty“ dish but the combined flavours pack a real punch, it’s filled with deliciously succulent eggplant and always leaves the kids particularly happy. I’ve used whatever vegetables I had in the fridge here, so feel free to experiment with whatever takes your fancy! Be careful not to cook the…
