thai green curry pork meatballs

17 september 2024

During a recent grocery shop, I was walking the aisles of Aldi, not feeling very inspired. I didn’t feel like anything in particular. I really didn’t feel like cooking anything that required a lot of prep, or cleaning, or anything that took longer than 15 minutes. I just wanted a flavourful meal made up of veggies, some spice and texture. Then, I was struck with inspiration.

vegetable couscous

10 september 2024

Pearl couscous is an easy way to elevate your weeknight meals. And it is just as easy to cook as rice or pasta. This dish really takes minimal effort. Just chop up a couple of vegetables, chuck them in the oven, boil some couscous, top with feta and mix it all together.

creamy pasta sauce

11 may 2024

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just crave a nice, big bowl of creamy pasta goodness. Something garlicky, cheesy, salty with the soft texture of a delicate, stringy pasta. This versatile sauce hits the spot every time, and it’s as easy as it is delicious. It’s by no means revolutionary, but you’ll never be disappointed.

choc chip bread & butter pudding

2 march 2024

Bread and butter pudding had always sounded so stodgy and unappetising to me. Wet bread? No thanks.

white chocolate mousse

18th february 2024

It’s hard to go wrong with a chocolate mousse. It’s delicious, it can be made simple or extravagant. But the best thing about mousse is that it is incredibly easy to make.

waffles

13th february 2024

For the longest time, waffles always felt so exotic to me. Growing up, like most homes, we didn’t have a waffle iron. So whenever there was an opportunity to have waffles, I jumped at the chance. But now, I am an adult and have control of my finances and kitchen appliance decision making, I own a waffle iron and can make them whenever I want.

peri peri sauce – claire’s way

11th february 2024

I am a fan of hot sauces, but I have never really experienced proper peri peri sauce. I’ve been to Nandos in my life, but there’s not a store near me, so it’s not something I have a lot. So I thought I would try and make one myself. So thanks for a recipe from Pretty Delicious, I made a batch using their recipe.

blueberry stud muffins

21 january 2024

This is a blueberry muffin with a twist. Instead of just throwing in fresh blueberries, you boil the blueberries in a chamomile tea mixture, which can later be used as an iced tea. And rather than just having a boring muffin top, these are topped with a brown sugar and cinnamon crumbly streusel. A great afternoon treat.

broccoli and crispy chicken salad

17 january 2024

Not all salads need to have lettuce, and this is a good example of one that doesn’t. I like to use a bed of steamed broccoli as the base and then build on top. This is beyond tasty with a delicious breaded chicken, a little cheese, bacon, as well as some carrot, corn and slivered almonds. For the dressing, I like to have some creaminess, but not an overwhelming flavour. I like to use cashew cream, but you could use a ranch or caesar salad if you feel it.

blueberry chamomile iced tea

14 january 2024

I was baking some blueberry muffins, and as a part of the recipe, I needed to create a hydration solution for the blueberries. The solution is made of chamomile tea, balsamic vinegar and sugar. Once I had used the blueberries, I was left with this delicious brew that turns out to be the perfect afternoon iced tea cocktail.
