Vegetable Samosas
These are a bit cheaty, and a bit naughty, but the cheat sort of helps to stop them being entirely bad for you, if that makes sense, because it means using filo pastry instead of dense, floury, eggy pastry. You could of course use whichever vegetables you like best, but I picked potatoes, peas, […]
Red swirl meringues
We’re right in the heart of the strawberry season here in the UK and have been having some lovely weather, on and off. These are great to spruce up some strawberries, if you serve with some whipped cream or yoghurt. Make smaller ones if you want to sandwich them together, but I just served larger […]
Beef and Mushroom Stir Fry
When I was in Morrisons last weekend, I spotted some oyster mushrooms and couldn’t possibly have left without buying some. They are expensive though so use sparingly! I also bought some quick fry sandwich steak (3 pieces for £3.30 which made two meals for one greedy person). I also used some of my usual stock […]

In fact I’d almost rather have bread than rice, or even chicken if the bread is good enough. Indian breads are especially amazing, as they somehow have the ability to […]
Chicken Teriyaki

Sweet Potato Buns (Breadless Buns)
I’ll admit that this is one of my less exciting recipes, but I thought the theory behind it was too good not to share. I pinched this idea from Pinterest but made up my own recipe. These are essentially roasted sweet potato slices which can be used as a much lighter, much healthier, replacement for […]
