Cauliflower, lentil and halloumi salad

April 16, 2018June 29, 2018Leave a comment

This was one of those accidental salads that worked so well I felt duty bound to write it down and share it with you. Therefore, apologies for the photo because, as so often happens, it wasn’t until it was half-eaten that I realised how good it was! Continue reading →

Pan-fried skate with capers and cod roe

January 25, 2018June 25, 2018Leave a comment

My fishbox arrived again today with two fresh skate wings inside – and a huge piece of cod roe; I really look forward to the day each month when we will have the freshest fish for supper. This evening’s dish was a tad experimental but it got rave reviews from my husband, who is always a willing guinea pig. Here’s how it all came together. Continue reading →

Celeriac and Apple Remoulade with Smoked Mackerel

December 8, 2017June 25, 2018Leave a comment

This recipe works just as well for a winter starter as it does for a healthy packed lunch; the quantities in the recipe mean there’s plenty for both. Continue reading →

Seasonal spiced apple compote

November 17, 2017September 27, 2020Leave a comment

I’m a great believer that the proverbs and old wives’ tales that we learned from our grandparents were based in ancient wisdom that we ignore at our peril. So I wasn’t surprised to learn, during my functional medicine training earlier this year, that a daily portion of stewed apples can work miracles in just a few days to support and restore a healthy microbial population in the gut.

XVOO may be your secret weapon against breast cancer

June 20, 2017June 23, 20171 Comment

You’ll see that in many of my recipes I feature something called XVOO – that’s extra virgin olive oil for people who are too lazy to type it out. I also write it like that because I want to draw your attention to it as an ingredient. We all know it’s an oil with a healthy reputation but it may be a lot more powerful than we realise.

Tucked-up peppers

June 20, 2017June 25, 2018Leave a comment

When the weather is skorchio I love to spend half an hour in the cool of the kitchen before the heat gets going – pottering round and preparing something nice for supper. This morning, I was going to make my tried and tested stuffed peppers recipe when I spotted some prosciutto in the fridge and decided to experiment with a variation on a theme.

Chorizo, tomato and garlic skewers

June 16, 2017June 25, 2018Leave a comment

This one’s more of a tip than a recipe. When I was racking my brains for good low carb nibble just recently I spied a jar of Brindisa garlic cloves in the fridge that were a bit neglected and a new nibble idea took shape. Continue reading →

Halloumi, avocado and strawberry salad

June 13, 2017June 25, 20182 Comments

Inspired by a recent visit to Juliet’s (my favourite Tunbridge Wells café) this salad is the perfect accompaniment to grilled or barbecued meats; tonight it is going to sidle up to a grilled lamb chop from Speaight’s butcher. To me, supper doesn’t get any better than this! However, this salad would also make a delicious and nutritious lunch. Hope you like it as much as we did!

Spicy Summer Slaw

May 29, 2017June 25, 2018Leave a comment

Thanks to the unpredictable contents of my Riverford box, I’m always looking for new ways to combine vegetable in a healthy and delicious way. This was yesterday’s experiment which really tickled my tastebuds in a way that made it an instant share.

Spicy Mexican Bean and Green Salad

May 26, 2017June 25, 2018Leave a comment

Although this recipe is a little higher in carbs than I normally include  (containing roughly 10g carbs per 100g) a  small portion (c.150g) in an otherwise low carb meal should not threaten ketosis once you are keto-adapted.
