A glorious salad for a glorious evening! This was a nicoise of sorts but I had no anchovies so purists will tut! Still, vibrant textures and flavours, with a zesty dressing of good olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt and pepper… banging!😎🥗🥚🧅🥔🥬🫒

A beautiful fresh and zingy Greek salad… I was about to put some chips in but saw these fabulously ripe tomatoes in the dish and I was inspired!! Hot flat bread to go with, a healthy and tasty dinner that took less than 5 minutes to make!! 🍅🧅🫒🧀

A very big cheat today.. a bag of stir fry veg, a bag of cooked egg noodles and some pork. The sauce was very uninspiring and is a reminder that some things are just better made from scratch. That said, supermarkets do help with inspiration for a well-priced and quick dinner! There’s no need to get precious about pre/packaged food if it serves a purpose and so many of us are pressed for time… maybe I’ll make up for it and slow-cook something wonderful this weekend! 🥦🥬🌶️🍜

This was banging!! It could have been neater but didn’t last long on the plate. Beef stroganoff courtesy of … creamy and rich but high in fibre and protein, low in fat and carbs. Lean steak, chestnut mushrooms, onion, parsley, stock, yoghurt and mustard… easy and just very good! Served with brown basmati 👌🏻🍚🤗

This was a comforting dish! It took a bit of prep but used some cheats too! I added chopped parsley and rosemary, grated Parmesan, seasoning, chillies and a splash of red wine to some lean minced pork. I made meatballs and fried them slowly to get a lovely crust on the meat. I deglazed the pan with a little white wine and slowly cooked a lot of leeks! I added a tub of garlic and herb cream cheese, cream, a bag of spinach and some pasta water and bubbled the sauce up with the meatballs.. all thrown together with linguine and topped with more Parmesan. My pasta meals are not often authentic but like the Italians, I cooked with great ingredients and love!! Hit me up for some more ideas 🧄🧀

This steaming pan of loveliness was cheap, quick, nutritious and ticked every ‘gimme a meal in minutes’ box! I had frozen Swedish meatballs, but you could use pancetta, I made a sauce of a few chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, red wine, garlic, stock and seasoning and bubbled it up.. I added spinach for goodness and threw some peas in with the pasta while it cooked. The end result was wonderful and you can adapt this recipe using whatever you have knocking about in the fridge! 🍅🧄

Sausage toad… the perfect dish for an icy night! Beautiful sausage meat from , a Yorkshire recipe dating back decades and smoked bacon. I served it with frozen mash ( just as good as homemade) and peas. I thank my lucky stars that I have a place to cook and people to cook for ❤️

Wow what a weekend!! Having a great time cooking and baking family favourites; jerk chicken, Jamaican patties, banana and walnut tea loaf and a luscious, velvety cheese sauce for a veggie bake to accompany tomorrow’s roast… this is what I can teach you, simple but amazing recipes for everyone you love to cook for!!

Spaghetti vongole… this was the most amazing dish; if you want an authentic Italian pasta dish this is it!! I put parsley stalks, wine, a lot of chopped garlic and good olive oil in a heavy based dish… threw in the clams and some quartered cherry tomatoes and cooked them. I finished off with chopped parsley and dried chilli flakes… this seriously was wonderful!! If you’d like some help with getting cooking off the ground then please get in touch!! 🌶️🧄🍅

Wow 🤩.. so this looks untidy but what an amazing combination! I used some frozen smoked haddock (cheaper than fresh), some finely sliced leeks, spinach, a little fresh thyme and potatoes that were well past their best!! I cooked the spuds and mashed them, slowly cooked the leeks ( a good tip is when you wash them leave some water sticking as this will help them steam as you don’t want a crispy finish) and added the poached, flaked fish. I formed a messy cake but if I do these for family I make little cakes which I coat in breadcrumbs. You could do this without the haddock, or substitute the fish, you could top with a poached egg for elegance or you could serve with roasted cherry tomatoes for a delicious breakfast! It’s cheap, uses up bits, is packed with protein and so good for you! Show me your take! 🥔🍳🐟

Cooking for comfort.. so I made meatballs from sausage meat, leeks, seasoning, panko breadcrumbs and an egg… fried them off then made a deep, luscious marinara sauce. I finished the meatballs in the sauce and let them gently putter away … I cooked some pasta and combined the 2, finishing off with some mozzarella…served with homemade garlic bread… a sumptuous dish for a chilly day!!
