This is a seasonal win for me and went down a treat at home. Pre-warning, it is a bit of a faff, so perhaps not your usual run of the mill weeknight meal, but it is a great one for guests or a weekend when you have a little more time. This meal really needs ALL the components though. The koftas are nothing without the tomato sauce, and the sauce is bland on it’s own. Served with delicious focaccia and this will be a winner with everyone. Continue reading Pumpkin koftas with smoky tomato sauce

With the arrival of soy sauce on tap in the shop I am discovering lots of new recipes and this sesame noodle bowl is a real stunner. Quick, tasty and satisfying it is everything I want in a meal and perfect for summer evenings.. The flavours go really well together (yes, even the desiccated coconut) and the whole thing took me less than half an hour to prepare. It’s true! Give it a try.
Plus all the ingredients are available in Crickhowell and the local area, so no need to go to a supermarket. We got the chard, spring onions and peas from Moor Park Garden, fresh herbs from the garden, a few bits and pieces from Cashells and the rest from Natural Weigh…of course.

This is a lovely, warming and easy curry to make and uses ingredients which are almost always ready and waiting to be used up in our house. You can make it as spicy as you like by adding more curry powder but the recipe below has a gentle warmth to it which went down a storm with Rowan (15 months old now!). Continue reading Cauliflower & potato curry
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.
