I’m going to sound like a goody-goody swot if I say that salad is my favourite food. Not chocolate. Not fried noodles or crispy bacon. Not even the best ice cream, although that could be touch and go ….
BLIND BAKING
CHERRY AND RICOTTA TART
WISHING YOU WELL
When this photograph was taken recently we were enjoying dinner together, which we rounded up with a lovely Cherry and Ricotta Tart. What a difference a week makes! Now that we’re all involved in social distancing, we’re reminded of all the wonderful relationships and friendships we share and the closeness we normally take for granted ….
GRAPE SALADS ARE GREAT TOO
GLAZED LIME POLENTA CAKE
SEED CRACKERS WITH GOATS CHEESE DIP
Given the variety of seeds in this recipe we’re fairly sure these gluten-free Seed Crackers are good for you. Think fibre, potassium, magnesium, iron and lots of other minerals and vitamins. And if all that doesn’t inspire you to give the recipe a try then surely the promise of a delicious nutty taste and lots of crunch will get you going ….
MUSHROOM AND LENTIL MOUSSAKA
Versions of moussaka have been made in the Levant and the Balkans, in Egypt and Turkey and Greece for who knows how long. Proof of its popularity. But do we need another one? Well, this Mushroom and Lentil Moussaka has no gluten. It has no meat. It has no potato. The eggplant is grilled not fried ….
LEMON SOUFFLÉ CREPES
MERRY CHRISTMAS

We hope you’ve been enjoying the various Christmas blogs we’ve been posting recently, and that we’ve been able to provide you with ideas and inspiration for the celebrations ahead. We also want to send you our best wishes and hope it’s a holiday season filled with good food and good cheer all round.
ROAST POTATO WREATH
Here’s a pretty and decorative idea for the humble roast potato. Take some potatoes, slice thinly, smother in garlic oil, pack tightly together and roast in a hot oven. When done, form them into a wreath shape, while trying to resist pinching the best crispy bits, add some green and red garnish and you have a Christmas decoration for the table and something lovely to go with the main course ….
WASABI, PEA AND SOYBEAN SMASH
Wasabi, Pea and Soybean Smash is a colourful mix subtly flavoured with garlic and un-subtly flavoured with wasabi which makes it a fabulous accompaniment for fish, poultry or meat and an excellent choice for Christmas. For our Christmas menu we’ve paired it with Ocean Trout with Dashi Rice Pilaf ….
SALAD DAYS
OCEAN TROUT WITH DASHI RICE PILAF
Our Ocean Trout with Dashi Rice Pilaf is a great dish for an occasion and isn’t Christmas the ultimate occasion? The whole fish is butterflied and boned (by your fish monger!!) and then stuffed with a delicious rice pilaf and topped with zucchini slices. All this can be done well ahead of your guests’ arrival ….
PORK AND TURKEY TERRINE

PESTO, CHERRY TOMATO AND BOCCONCINI BITES

SNAPPER CEVICHE ON CORN CHIPS
Ceviche is a traditional Latin American fish dish and is full of tongue tingling aromatics such as lime and coriander. We’ve tweaked the regular recipe to include ginger and preserved lemon, but our Snapper Ceviche on Corn Chips is only gently spiced, so as to not overpower the subtle flavour of the snapper ….
