I think this is my first quinoa recipe. And if I remember correctly in a post (maybe last year) I asked you to call the Police if I ever gave you a quinoa recipe. I sit before you with my hands in prayer begging for mercy. I described in my Aloo Gobi recipe, I now … Continue reading CHARRED CAULIFLOWER, AVOCADO & POMEGRANATE QUINOA
Milky and spicy are two words that never really sit well together. Unless it’s in a salad. Particularly this one. Milky in terms of the creamy, dense chew of mozzarella and spicy from the vibrant red flecked sweet chili sauce. An absolute breeze to make and surprisingly filling, it’s a spring/summer staple of mine when … Continue reading MOZZARELLA & POMEGRANATE SALAD WITH SWEET CHILI SAUCE
I pride myself on being able to do good things with leftovers. This lunchbox is no different. I had roasted a chicken over the weekend (as per usual) and it’s always on the Tuesday or thereabouts that you have bits of cooked chicken lying around in the fridge and you don’t really know what to … Continue reading CHICKEN POMEGRANATE COUSCOUS LUNCHBOX WITH MINT AVOCADO DRESSING
Fish Sauce may sound disgusting to you, but I’m going to need you to put aside some of your reservation. Because this salad is genuinely to die for it. It’s sweet, salty, spiky – and most of all good for you, I guess? Which doesn’t matter to a lot of people but the nutritional benefits … Continue reading NAM PLA SEAFOOD SALAD

Why it’s a salad in a jar of course. The anti-hipster in me is absolutely … Continue reading SICHUAN CHICKEN NOODLE JAR (BUZZ MAGAZINE)
Baked Tomatoes with Blue Cheese, Mint and Crushed Potatoes. I find ‘end of the week’ cooking extremely gratifying. Unless I’m doing a small roast where there are certain things you need to have in the pantry or fridge to get the job done, Friday’s to me are usually days for cleaning out your Kitchen. Using … Continue reading BAKED TOMATOES WITH BLUE CHEESE, MINT & CRUSHED POTATOES
Honeyed Ginger Prawns with Apricots and Spiced Cashews. I love Winter, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes I am always a little bit late on the up take when it comes to seasonal eating. I often find myself in the heights of Summer craving a huge bowl of steaming lamb stew with chunky bread. I am … Continue reading HONEYED GINGER PRAWNS WITH APRICOTS & SPICED CASHEWS (BUZZ MAGAZINE)
Shredded Chicken Salad with Almonds & Butterbeans. Summer just calls for a salad, doesn’t? There’s no two ways about it. When the sun is hot and the grass is calling, a stew just won’t do. While that feels almost uncomfortably blasphemous to type as a Welsh Valleys boy, it’s true. The summer just calls for … Continue reading SHREDDED CHICKEN SALAD WITH ALMONDS & BUTTERBEANS
