It took me ages to think of what to cook for this years Virtual Vegan Potluck. You may have noticed I have been a bit absent from the kitchen recently, I have some big things going on in my life outside of the blogging world but I will share this with you another time!! (infact … Continue reading

Carrot and Coriander Fritters With Tahini Dressing
I’ve been keeping things simple recently, classic flavours with not too much effort. It’s been lovely! Food is best enjoyed at one’s leisure and I think the effect of a rather upheaved life teamed with a busy lifestyle has meant I have slowed down and stepped back in other areas. My favourite foods at the … Continue reading
Apple and Parsnip Soup
This is a delicious and unusual soup that I first posted back in January 2012 when I was just starting out in the blogging world. I’d never made a soup with apple in it before but I tried it and I was so chuffed I remember it lighting a creative spark in me, I couldn’t … Continue reading
Trio of Bruschetta: Use up those Christmas leftovers!
I am one of those people who starts off every January with good intentions of starting a fresh, only eating marvellous low fat salads and fruits etc. Then I remember the leftover Christmas food in the cupboards so I decide to start a fresh once that had all been eaten 🙂 But this year I’m … Continue reading
Pumpkin and Lentil Soup with Cheesy Croutons and Pumpkin Seeds

Watercress, Asparagus and Garden Pea Salad with Grilled Goats Cheese and a Lemon Mint Dressing

Avocado Mash, Tomatoes and Asparagus on Garlic Bruschetta
This is messy to eat! But totally delicious 🙂 It’s kind of a ‘should i grab a knife and fork or should I use both hands and see how much i can fit in my mouth before it all falls on to my lap’ dish. I obviously went for the latter! Aaall over my lap … Continue reading
Quinoa Stuffed Beef Tomatoes- No Bake Summer Recipe!
As soon as the sun comes out I want to start tucking into tomatoes! When I have been on holiday to Spain or France before I’m always amazed by the huge misshapen but beautifully ripe tomatoes you get there! Sometimes I think the uglier the tomato the better the flavour. We would just have platters … Continue reading
Quinoa Stuffed Mini Roasted Peppers – Deli Week
This is my last Deli week post before I start thinking about Easter food! Having lots of little things to pick at is one of my favourite ways to eat, I promise that if you put paprika and oregano polenta chips, lemon and chives goats cheese boats and these lovely little stuffed peppers on a … Continue reading
