stuff-this-shit chocolate mousse
makes 6 Alrighty then – here it is my last recipe for the long weekend – the rather indelicately named ‘stuff-this-shit chocolate mousse’. Despite the name (explanation coming) it is the perfect rich chocolatey treat to serve up after an Easter feast – decadent and luscious but small enough to enjoy without being totally wracked […]
slow-roast easter lamb with caramelised onions
serves 8 Right then – next up in my line-up of things to make over Easter is the absolute all-time classic, mega-tender slow-roasted leg of lamb – studded with garlic, and cooked on a bed of red onion and rosemary. It actually takes about 5 minutes to prepare then you have nothing to do until […]
zucchini, mozzarella, lemon & chilli pizzas with aperol spritz
serves as many as you fancy Right then – Easter is almost upon us so I felt it best to farewell the last of the warmish evenings with a spread perfectly designed to enjoy over the long weekend. Despite being single I still absolutely love gathering all of my old (not ‘old’ – ‘long standing’) friends […]

rainbow wraps
makes 6 Helloooo – look I know this isn’t the flashest recipe I’ve ever posted, but it doesn’t mean they don’t taste bloody good – rainbow wraps loaded with sweet, earthy beetroot huumus, crunchy carrot and red cabbage, creamy avocado, peppery greens, roast or poached chicken and salty, nubbly tamari-roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds. The […]
smoked salmon capellini with lemon, dill & capers, & simple roast apricot & plum cheesecakes
Woah this is a bit of a blast from the past – these two recipes first appeared on the blog quite a few years ago now, but are still two of my favourites ever for an easy and delicious l’il V-Day dinner for two. The salmon pasta is a variation on one I have […]
sarah’s chicken curry and yoghurt naan
serves 4-6 Good morning – crikey it has been a whole two weeks since I was last here (makes me feel like I’m giving confession…). Today’s recipe is exactly what I feel like eating right now despite the fact that it is just after 7am – a gently (but deeply) spiced chicken curry scooped up […]
long weekend brunch – corn, prawn & chorizo fritters
…and coriander, lime mayo
figgy, ginger walnut muesli bars & white choc, coconut cookies
makes 15 muesli bars & 30 cookies Woooooohooooo – finally – I am going on my little beach holiday!!!! Bloody hell I can’t wait, and just in case you aren’t back at work yet, or planning some long weekends away over the summer, I thought these two recipes might come in handy. The muesli bars […]
mexican beef salad with quinoa, avo, corn & light smoky paprika mayo

This salad is designed to enjoy while you’re on summer holiday, ideally with loved ones, enjoying the beach and sea – a combination […]
