Tomato, Swiss chard, and spinach with almonds
It’s swiss chard season at the community farm where my parents and I are members, so it’s time for another recipe. This dish was so easy to make and really nutritious. We served it with rice on the side, and I added beans for some extra protein. I used Bold Bean’s baked beans (big shout…

Gary’s stir-fried cabbage with garlic and chilli
Cabbage, I’m a big fan. But this is not my favourite way to prepare it. One thing it was: very quick and easy to make. “It’s just not as good as other stuff” – Franny It should have been an Taiwanese inspired dish but my Taiwanese friend, Franny, wasn’t impressed. She gave it a 6/10…

Pasta alla Norma
A stable. A classic. It’s Pasta alla Norma. I have made this recipe many times and one of my fav pasta’s. I think it’s fairly easy to make and for me the best way to prepare the aubergine: in the oven. Besides, in the meantime you can prepare the rest of the recipe and clean…

Butterbean mash with muhammara
Yay beans again!! This time butterbeans, they are my favourite and especially the ones for Bold Beans (no spon, I wish lol). I genuinely believe that they are much tastier. “What is this spread it’s delicious, very creamy as well” – Fam It is fairly easy to make and flavour is great. You do need…

Mushrooms and chestnuts with za’atar
It’s more of a winter recipe but since the weather is bit like that I thought to give it a go. The only thing is that it’s impossible to find chestnuts around this time of year. Oh well, this one is without. The reason we made this recipe is that we found fresh dragon. I…

Braised eggs with leek and za’atar
Summer leeks are harvested around this time of year, so it’s time for another seasonal recipe. It’s a brunch recipe but could also be eaten for dinner (for light eaters). It works perfectly with some sourdough bread on the side. Yes, I made my first sourdough loaf last week, and it was such a pain,…

Courgette, thyme and walnut salad
It’s the season of summer salads and this time I have one with courgette for you. This courgette salad with thym and walnuts is super easy and took me around 20 min to make. Though, you do need a mandoline!! Makes life so much easier. I have added butter beans (from bold beans they are…

Roasted asparagus with buttered almonds, capers and dill
It’s hot and advised not to use the oven. Well let me have an oven recipe for you, woops. BUT, you could also put them on the bbq. The combination of the capers almonds and dill is great and adds flavour and texture. It is very easy to make as you can make the sauce…

Watermelon, green apple & lime salad
Yay summer is back (hopefully)!! Love watermelon but normally wouldn’t make it as a salad for supper. Though I really liked this recipe, the green apple and lime make it very fresh. “Very refreshing and with a nice twist” – Dad I would say the effort to make the dish is average for a salad.…

Carrot salad with yoghurt and cinnamon
It’s time for carrots again! And this recipe is my fav way to prepare them. I have already made it so many times. It’s very low in effort but still quite a unique taste. But before we jump into this week’s recipe. This girl got her first fan mail!!!!! It was a very cute card,…
