I decided to try this recipe for the first time during Wimbledon 2017. I was going to call them something wonderfully uninventive like ‘Mediterranean Rolls’ but I’m a huge Rafa (Nadal) fan and I was cooking these during the Rafa – Muller match. Needless to say I was too busy shouting at the tv to…
Main
Roasted Broccoli & Miso Tofu
This is a really simple recipe but it does take a little time. Ideally the tofu should marinate for 1-2 hours to absorb as much of the flavour as possible. Once that’s done, it only takes 30 minutes to cook and as the broccoli and tofu are both roasted, you have minimal washing up to…
Asian Style Salad
This Asian inspired salad is bursting with flavour. It’s bright and fresh, making it perfect as we (finally) welcome spring. The good news is this salad is so tasty you’ll want it come rain or shine. I love the crispy veg, smooth tofu and sweet teriyaki dressing. The first time I created it I loved it…
Lemon & Chilli Stuffed Peppers
These lemon and chilli stuffed peppers are what dinner dreams are made of! They’re easy to make, can be prepared in advance (so all you need to do when your guests arrive is pop them in the oven) and I can honestly say these colourful peppers taste as good as they look! These stuffed peppers…
Chickpeas, Spring Greens & Salsa
Chickpeas, spring greens and salsa make a warm and comforting meal, so it’s perfect for this rainy, cold weather. I love this dish for dinners at the moment because it’s so quick and easy. This makes a good base but you can easily vary the theme to make something that’s equally as delicious and effortless. I had…
Lentil Nut Loaf
This vegan treat is often associated with Christmas but shouldn’t be ignored the rest of the year. It’s rich, delicious and satisfying making it good for a weekend roast. It’s so easy to make, store and reheat. It’s perfect for leftovers to enjoy during the week or to take into work. Lentil nut loaf is…
Pumpkin, Kale & Chickpea Salad with Tahini Dressing
Every now and then I go through phases when I just can’t sleep. When this happens I usually get up and do Pilates. I know it sounds odd but it’s much better than lying in bed fuming about the fact I’m awake! There are lots of downsides to not being able to sleep, as I’m…
Easy Vegan ‘Lasagna’
The reason I’ve put ‘lasagna’ in quotation marks is because lasagna actually refers to individual pasta sheets rather than the dish as a whole. However, I’m using the term here to describe a dish made with several layers, alternated with sauce. In this case the layers are potato, courgette and mixed peppers. The sauce is…
Double Broccoli Bowl
I love broccoli! I could eat it for every meal (assuming the allowance wasn’t restricted* due to FODMAPs). I’m not really sure why broccoli gets such a bad name. Aside from sprouts, I think it’s children’s most hated vegetable. What I hate is ‘school broccoli’ – broccoli that has been boiled to death with no nutrients…
Pumpkin, Lentil & Walnut Salad
This time of year there’s a temptation to hibernate and eat loads of comfort foods like Pumpkin & Thyme Risotto, Cabbage Rolls, Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers, Sheepless Pie, Aubergine Rolls or my favourite go-to Aubergine and Pepper Curry. However if, like me, you didn’t just overindulge on Christmas day but for the whole of December, you may be getting…
