A friend from America video called me just to ask what bangers and mash was because he was at an English pub in the US stuck on what to order! I responded with ‘sausages and mashed potato obviously’! Total comfort food for me. I absolutely adored sausages and still do now. Dunking them in ketchup… Continue reading Bangers and Mash
Aubergine Lasagne
This aubergine lasagne is grain free and so simple to rustle up. I love that it’s no hassle. For me lasagne always implies laborious chopping, complex layering, various sauce-making and to be frank, it prevented me from actually even wanting to make the stuff! As delicious as it is, I rarely make this dish, which… Continue reading Aubergine Lasagne
Chocolate Chickpea Protein Fudge
This chocolate chickpea protein fudge fudge is much more simple and easier to make than traditional fudge which generally requires at least 20 minutes of hard graft after which point you’re left with a sore arm and a kitchen full of washing up and sticky mess! This one just needs to be popped into a… Continue reading Chocolate Chickpea Protein Fudge
Fluffy Oatmeal Pancakes
Fluffy Oatmeal Pancakes I’ve attempted this recipe before, but the issue with oats is, as soon as they’re exposed to liquid, they start to become this sticky stodge at which point it’s too late to change texture and it must now be eaten this way! With these pancakes, the speed at which you use the… Continue reading Fluffy Oatmeal Pancakes
DIY Granola Clusters
These DIY Granola Clusters were actually a cookie dough-gone-wrong creation! When my daily sugar craving hit me, I went along my merry way to the kitchen to make some simple cookie dough. I normally use almond flour or oat flour as a base – today I used oats. But, somewhere along the way, something went… Continue reading DIY Granola Clusters
Scotch Broth
I remember this only in canned version from my parents’ pantry and something I would only eat if I was in absolute starvation mode. Doesn’t make it sound too tempting! But actually, when I went to uni I found myself searching supermarket aisles for scotch broth! It obviously had something good about it for me… Continue reading Scotch Broth
Caramel Apple Crumble
There’s definitely something comforting about warm apples smothered in buttery, crisp, golden crumbs topped with heaps of hot custard. It takes me back to the days when I lived at home and my mum would make apple crumble- though it has to be said, she wasn’t really the best at making desserts! There were always… Continue reading Caramel Apple Crumble
Hot Salted Caramel Bananas
The most phallic, naughty-but-nice fruit (well actually a berry if we’re being technical here) of them all is commonplace around the world - the banana. Providing around 100 kcal per portion, this starchy crop is a wonderful hungry-tummy filler. It is also equipped with plenty of nutrients such as potassium, a mineral that is essential… Continue reading Hot Salted Caramel Bananas
Cabbage Tempura
I absolutely love cabbage tempura (AKA battered stuff), and with such a vast array of green leafy vegetables available, what better than covering them in carby batter and deep frying them?! Ok, so it destroys a few of the water soluble vitamins along the way and adds more fat, but it’s not like we’re eating… Continue reading Cabbage Tempura
Cajun Cauliflower Tacos
It’s not really common for me to use cauliflower as a main ingredient in my recipes but recently I went to a hummus restaurant that served whole roasted cauliflower heads with big ass knives stabbed through the centre and dammit I wanted to copy them! Well I didn’t stick a big axe through the middle… Continue reading Cajun Cauliflower Tacos
