Courgette & Corn Fritters with Yogurt & Herb Chutney
These gluten free fritters are made to be super crispy on the outside and soft and chewy in the middle. The corn brings out pops of sweetness, all of this complimenting the slightly salty sour chutney. It really is one of the best summer snacks you could make.
Jammy Ratatouille
Ratatouille is the perfect summer dish that celebrates summer produce. It’s comforting, light, healthy and delicious. This specific recipe creates a jammy ratatouille that can be eaten hot or cold and with any carb you wish.
Tomato & Roasted Garlic Tart
This tart is so easy to make, but so delicious. Now that tomatoes are in season, I decided to make a simple, and light tart, perfect for a hot summers day. The roasted garlic brings this simple dish to another level.
Crispy Chicken Thighs with Fennel & Peppers
Crispy golden chicken skin, juicy thighs, and seasonal veg. A 1-pan dish that satisfies all your needs.
Basil Pesto
Nothing screams summer more than basil pesto does. This specific one is the perfect consistency to spread in sandwiches, use with pasta, and dollop in whatever it is that needs some extra flavour.
L’étouffé Mackerel
L’étoufé sounds like a fancy dish, but in reality it just means smothered. In this case the fish is cooked on gentle heat with the lid on. It maybe one of the healthiest recipes i’ve made so far, but it’s still a delish one.
Coconut Dal Potato Curry
This coconut dal potato curry is unlike any veggie curry i’ve ever made. The blend of spices create a nutty aroma and the tempered spices you add at the end really take things to another level. This is a great dish to make whenever you have a hankering for curry.
Tomato Red Lentil Soup
Tomato soup is one of the most well known soups out there, with this recipe i use red split peas, as well as some spices to create something a little difference, but still reminiscent to the simple og tomato soup.
Pearl Barley Risotto with Lemon, Peas & Dill
Who knew pearl barley made such delicious creamy risotto?!! This classic simple risotto is finished with lemon, peas, parmesan and dill for a fresh spring touch. If you’re not into peas, swap it out for other seasonal veg, not into dill swap it out for another type of soft herb. Incredibly versatile and honestly easy to make- maybe easier than making rice risotto.
Spicy Sour Tuna Curry
Sour curry may sound bizarre, but actually the acidic elements bring brightness and a freshness to the dish that you wouldn’t normally get with a curry. With tuna coming into season in May, I wanted to share with you this delicious and quick recipe.
Sun-dried tomato Pesto
Any pesto made with basil is reserved for the warmer summer months. I get very excited every year whenever I start making my basil pesto because I know summer is well on it’s way. This sun-dried tomato pesto has been one of my summer staples for the past 3 years- so full of flavour, and perfect as a spread, in pasta or wherever else you want to use it..
Watercress Potato Soup
I normally don’t like thick-er soups, but this is one I make an exception for. Healthy, dairy-free and terribly easy to make this watercress potato soup is here to soothe you.
Mussels Arrabbiata
Mussels in tomato broth is one of my favourite seafood dishes. Forget the pasta, give me a huge bowl with loads of crusty bread to mop up all the sauce. I love this dish since it takes little to no time to make, but it looks so impressive. Whether its date night or a lazy weekday night, whipping this delicious dish up takes no time.
Creamy Vegan Mushroom Risotto
Eating loads of cheesy risotto isn’t the healthiest thing on earth, especially if like me you’re eating it once a week… I tried to find a way to make it healthier by substituting the parmesan for a dairy-free ‘cheesy’ sauce. After trial and error, I came up with this super creamy and delicious vegan risotto! If it’s vegan it’s healthy right?
Seasonal cooking & eating
Most of us walk into a supermarket and the same produce is there for us to buy, no matter the time of year. Understanding what produce is in season is the biggest game changer you can bring into your cooking, and a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.
