Your flavours, refreshing and ready in minutes! What a week! Sunshine from morning until night, windows wide open, washing drying in minutes – and no need to even wonder if it’s ‘safe’ to go out without a coat. With the heat lingering, I’ve been throwing together all sorts of salads for lunch and dinner, sometimes with tofu or chickpeas, with…
Kurdish Kifta! I know people say us Brits always talk about the weather, but you know it’s been sudden torrential rain daily for a couple of weeks now… in my area! Apparently, 40 miles down the road, the grass is still scorched and brown, the plants need watering every day and there is no lush green grass for the animals!…
Perfect for any meal, any day! Recently I have discovered something extremely tasty and I have no idea why it took me so long to discover! Now, if you think you are not a fan of tofu, think again! Really? Yes! I have discovered a way to turn this block of white stuff into something incredibly delicious! Sceptical? Of course…
A key recipe for comfort on cooler days. It might be July, but the weather certainly isn’t what you’d expect for summer! At just 15°C this morning, with strong winds and a soggy start thanks to the overnight downpours, it definitely feels more like an autumn day. That said, the garden is loving it, and I’m sure the allotment is…
Is it time to slow down? This week has been a bit crazy! You know life gets like that sometimes right! First, the weather couldn’t decide if it was still baking hot (come on, 25c in the UK is hot)! or if there was suddenly going to be an almighty downpour. I actually got stuck in the greenhouse as it…
When it’s too hot to even think about cooking! There’s been very little actual cooking in the house this week! The barbecue has made a few appearances, but most meals have been centred around salad. If you’re in the UK, you’ll likely have experienced some of the hottest weather we’ve seen in a while – so much so, I’ve been…
Easy Summer fun recipe! I hope you’ve all had a great week so far – the weekend is nearly here, and with temperatures soaring across the UK this week (yes, over 27°C and climbing!), it’s safe to say we’re all looking for ways to stay cool. What better way than with a bowl of fruity, refreshing, homemade nice-cream? If you…
Crisp, fresh, full of flavour – with a little sweet surprise! This recipe was created when the weather was a bit sunnier! That said, there’s no reason why the weather should really make a difference to this dish! Rather than have it as a main, you could use it as one of many sides – especially if you’re trying to…
Baking up simple, tasty treats for any occasion! Who knew there was a whole day dedicated to biscuits?! Well, apparently today – Thursday 29th May is National Biscuit Day – and I, for one, am here for it! Whether you’re a dunker, a nibbler, or a full-on biscuit enthusiast, today is the perfect excuse to treat yourself (as if we…
