Halloumi fries

January 26, 2021February 7, 2021 Posted in Nibbles2 Comments

It’s taking everything I have not to put my favourite cheese jokes in here, I mean, we all know the ‘What does the cheese say when it looks in the mirror?’ joke, right? I love halloumi, in part because it happily lives in the fridge for aaaaages, so with just a little store cupboard help… Continue reading Halloumi fries

Tabbouleh

October 21, 2020February 7, 2021 Posted in SaladsLeave a comment

You can fling pretty much anything into tabbouleh – so long as you have some herbs, seasoning, and dressing in there it’ll taste great. This recipe is from the Waitrose Food magazine and is super colourful and contains two things I particularly love, figs and pistachios. Neither are obligatory, although the nuts do add crunch.… Continue reading Tabbouleh

Green soup

October 19, 2020February 7, 2021 Posted in SoupsLeave a comment

I’ve made countless versions of this soup – the base ingredients are the same, but then I fling in whatever green veg I happen to have, or just frozen peas if that’s all that my fridge/freezer can provide. Fresh herbs deffo make a difference, but dried will do, basically just eating this much green has… Continue reading Green soup

Turkish salad

October 7, 2020February 7, 2021 Posted in SaladsLeave a comment

I know I know, it’s kind of like a Greek salad, but there are some differences (namely walnuts, sumac, dill + mint). I’d happily eat this for lunch every day with some fresh bread, or in the evening alongside some fish or chicken, a glass of rose and preferably a sunset or sea view! (Note… Continue reading Turkish salad

Stuffed peppers

October 4, 2020February 7, 2021 Posted in BeefLeave a comment

More comfort food from childhood, and one of my father’s specialities. Any colour of pepper will do – I like the green ones, but my family prefer red or yellow as they’re sweeter. There’s probably a gazillion different recipes out there, but this is the way my parents (and my father’s family) always made them,… Continue reading Stuffed peppers

Bean, feta + fennel salad

July 29, 2020February 7, 2021 Posted in SaladsLeave a comment

Summer on a plate! The green beans you can see started out as purple french beans (growing in the tub at the top of the photo), and I’m always disappointed that they turn green when you cook them. What a swizz. Not necessarily a vegetarian salad, you could add grilled chicken or white fish to… Continue reading Bean, feta + fennel salad
