Ok, so this may seem like a controversial claim – I have spoken to many a cook who has failed to get it right, and I was fully expecting my homemade hummus to be a let-down as a result, but this recipe is seriously good. A bit about the recipe – we got it from [...]

When we were offered the opportunity to try a black chicken, we had no idea what to expect; and after an email explaining that these rare breed chickens – sometimes known as Crow bone, officially known as Silkie – have black bones and flesh, we were intrigued. Provided by Humble Home Farm, the black chickens [...]

Puff pastry seems to have a pretty tough rep – I’d always been told that it was complicated, fiddly and time consuming. This recipe however, originally one of Gordon’s, is quick, easy and faff free. Okay it is ‘rough’ puff pastry – not something you would find in a patisserie but it makes a pretty [...]

It had been raining pretty much all day this May Bank Holiday Monday, and after using up my once a year scrabble playing allowance the day before, I decided to make some scones. I finally left the house and bought the clotted cream and jam ready, and I can honestly say these delicious scones brightened [...]

I made this recipe a few weeks ago, simply as I had a chunk of chorizo in the fridge that needed using up, and I don’t think I’ve ever been this impressed with something that uses so few ingredients! I have to admit, I often turn my nose up at recipes that are advertised as [...]

This light potato salad [...]

By it’s Italian name this dish is called ‘Paglia e fieno coi piselli’ but it’s essentially pasta with cream and prosciutto (or bacon if you need to substitute) Another great summer recipe – pasta with prosciutto peas and cream, this is really easy to make but mega tasty. Original recipe from Giuliano Hazan, The Classic [...]

Super quick but amazingly tasty summer greens inspired from the recipe in Jamie’s 30 minute meals. Even my salad dodger boyfriend enjoyed this one – can be eaten hot or cold and goes really well with fish. Ingredients: Broccoli, Asparagus (I also threw in some mange tout which worked amazingly) Soy sauce (I used fish [...]

Avocado is one of those foods that comes in and out of fashion (think 70’s prawn cocktails, 90’s guacamole) but quite frankly, I can’t get enough of it! Hailed as one of the “super foods”, there’s no doubting that it’s extremely good for you, but it can so often be relegated to salads and dips. [...]
