Lunch

Spring asparagus soup

Chilled Spring Asparagus Soup

Asparagus is one of the better-known spring vegetables, although we only get to enjoy its short season for around seven to eight weeks. We welcome asparagus in late April and then the season ends in June.  Take advantage while you can, I’d say! That’s why I’ve created this fresh spring-like recipe for you.  We’re experiencing…

Kale, Broad Bean and Avocado Salad

You can never go wrong with a salad in the spring and summer.  Massaged kale is a surprising good ingredient, add a delicious dressing with a few other tasty vegetables and you have a balanced and nutritious meal.  This would also work really well with peas or chickpeas which could be instead of the broad…

Roasted Cauliflower Falafel

Roasted Cauliflower Falafel

This recipe is remarkably east to make, nourishing and testament to cauliflowers versatility.  Actually, I’m of the opinion that it’s one of the most versatile of vegetables.  Gone are the days when the height of cauliflower cuisine was cauliflower cheese! A great lunch option or make a little larger for dinner, pop in a bun,…

Salmon, Fennel & Avocado Tartare

  Few things are more handy to have in the fridge at Christmas for spontaneous lunches than a side of smoked salmon. I will be taking myself off to the fishmonger to make my purchase of a locally smoked side before Christmas, without question.  Lovely as smoked salmon is I adore the freshness of a…

Herby Courgette & Feta Tart

Herby Courgette & Feta Tart

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reacquainting myself with my vegetable plot this year having given it a wide berth for a while, why you ask? Frustrated to say the least with the battle of copious slugs and French partridge!  Time is a great healer and a little more giving these days which has definitely helped. Courgettes are…

Tomato & Mascarpone Tart

Tomato & Mascarpone Tart

Last week was rather higgledey-piggledey and a little stressful, it felt like I hadn’t stopped.  That is why I decided Sunday was a complete day of rest, spent in the garden.  I rusted up a salad, bought some cheese, concocted a few dips and made this tomato and mascarpone tart.  It was a scrumptious lunch…

Pea & Dill Cakes with Beetroot Yogurt

Pea & Dill Cakes with Beetroot Yogurt

It’s almost that time of year when we are besieged by green vegetables. After a few years off planting in my little kitchen garden, I’ve taken an almighty leap and sown all my veggie beds.

I hope you all had a good Easter weekend and were I hope you all had a good Easter weekend and were able to catch up with family or friends after time apart. 

I just wanted to jump on here this morning to say I’m taking a little step back from Instagram for a while to dedicate time to recipe development and research. You’ll find me on stories though, I’m not completely disappearing. Hopefully you can bear with me for a few weeks. 😊
Have a great short week friends.

Wild Garlic Garganelli 🌱 What do you do when y Wild Garlic Garganelli 🌱

What do you do when you find yourself with lots of wild garlic and a delivery of fresh eggs? You make pasta of course!  With the season just beginning, it’s just too tempting not to use these fragrant leaves in just about everything.
What have you been making with your wild garlic?
