In my book, risotto = comfort food and this mushroom risotto fits the bill perfectly. It is quick to make, filling and warming, just what we need in this cold weather. An added benefit is that it uses very few ingredients, all of which we normally have in the house! Continue reading Creamy mushroom risotto
It is the time of courgettes so, unsurprisingly, they feature in pretty much all our meals at the moment and this lentil lasagne is no exception. To me, lasagne is a good all round favourite. Hearty and filling, the combination of lentils, vegetables and cheese are everything I want in a meal. And it is easily adaptable to the season. In summer, it goes well with salad, and in winter, steamed vegetables. Continue reading Lentil lasagne
Elderflower cordial is perfect for sunny summer days as it is so fragrant and refreshing. It’s a good lockdown activity too. Make sure to use your elderflowers pretty soon after they have been picked. The are best picked early in the morning on a warm day. Aim for flower heads that have only recently opened and arent yellowing/browning. Always make sure to leave several open flowers on each tree for the insects, we only ever pick 2-3 from a tree before moving on 🙂 Continue reading Elderflower cordial
Veggie burgers have been a bit hit and miss in my experience but these went down well in our house. In fact, I think Rob mentioned how much he was enjoying them three times during the meal! Definitely a winner. And they go wonderfully well with some sweet potato chips, mixed summer salad and gorgeous wall to wall sunshine. Enjoy! Continue reading Carrot & lentil burgers

This recipe is everything you could want from a brownie. Moist, rich, gooey and incredibly chocolate-ey! I’m often disappointed by commercial brownies as they are overwhelmingly sweet when really, I’m looking for something which will satisfy my chocolate craving. This recipe delivers every time. You can replace the walnuts with something else if you prefer, other nuts, cranberries, chocolate chips, etc. Continue reading Ultimate chocolate brownie
