I made this for dinner last night and wondered whether I was being a bit boring. No! I’d forgotten how tasty this recipe is. Simple and satisfying with plenty of protein from the nuts and egg. You can use your imagination with the vegetables and it can be a good...

We’ve been in a bit of a soup rut lately. A nice rut full of lentils and leek and chickpea soup but it suddenly it felt like time for a change. My partner reminded me about chowder which I haven’t made for probably a few years. This is adapted from one of...

I haven’t blogged as frequently over the past couple of weeks because I’ve been launching a new business with a friend of mine (it’s an online shop, Davies & Maker, selling lighting and lovely homewares if you want to check it out) and then last...
