I know a lot of people love feta, but I’m afraid for me it’s one of my least favourite cheeses. I personally find it too salty, but when I saw this cheese I knew I needed to try it because I love goats cheese. For me this wasn’t as salty in taste as feta, as well as being much milder. …
Radicchio and Burrata Salad
I had a very similar salad in a restaurant recently for a friend’s birthday. I thought I could recreate it, with a slight nutritional twist whereby each serving provides you with an actual portion of salad! It’s just as delicious as the restaurant, but knowing it’s providing that little bit of extra nutrition makes me forgive the fact that I’m …

Smoked Mackerel, Lentil and Horseradish Salad
Getting oily fish in can be a challenge, and during lockdown I find it harder to get fresh fish weekly so I’ve been eating more smoked fish due to the increased shelf life. While I don’t plan on carrying this on beyond lockdown, and rather used smoked fish as a treat rather than a source of omega-3 fatty acids, for …
Burrata and Grilled Peach Salad Pizza
I made this for my friend who is an avid supporter of my sourdough pizzas, simply to give her something different to try. She may have protested slightly at the thought of having a “salad pizza”, but at the end of a week’s stay with me in my lockdown food bubble, this turned out to be one of her favourite …
Sundried Tomato and Herb Bulgar Wheat
This is a staple in my house. I almost always have the store cupboard goods, and I grow chives in the garden so have them for most of the year, so all I really need to make sure I have bought is flat leaf parsley. And if you don’t have flat leaf parsley, you can substitute any green leaves in …
Red Pepper and Goat’s Cheese Salad
This recipe is adapted from the Meat Free Monday cookbook. I don’t think I could have assembled the ingredients any better than them, so, as they saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I do however alter the methods used. In the cookbook, they peel the peppers once cooked. You could do this if you wanted, but I …
Roasted Squash, Kale and Lentil Winter Salad
A gorgeous winter salad which uses seasonal vegetables and lets them shine as stars in the dish. Kale, a vegetable best in winter, is roasted till crispy. If you’ve never tried crispy kale, now is the time! Combining both kale and lentils in this dish helps to increase the plant based iron. Additionally, kale is a good source of vitamin …
