Steak & Snow Peas with Miso Ginger Dressing
This recipe was my introduction to miso paste and what a life-changing discovery it was. I didn’t think there were any new umami flavour profiles out there that I hadn’t tried, so what a treat to find such a glorious new addition. This stirfry is quick and easy (how great…

Thai Chicken with Basil & Mint
This dish was recently requested by our 10 year old for his birthday meal. I have never been so proud. After 2 years of trying to push/cajole/bribe the kids towards new (and more interesting) flavours than plain tomato pasta and fish and chips, we have arrived. And now we can…

Creamy Cajun Parmesan Chicken Alfredo
This is an exceptional pasta. Silky, creamy, with a bit of spicy warmth, it has all the makings of perfect comfort food. Ideally, if you can blacken the Cajun chicken slightly, all the better, but it isn’t a necessity. Just remember that all Cajun spices aren’t created equal – some…

Roasted Gnocchi with Chorizo & Asparagus
This recipe I threw together from ingredients I happened to have on hand and it’s one of my finest creations. Roasting gnocchi in the oven was a life-changing discovery we made a couple of years ago and we’ve never looked back since. There are many, many delicious roast gnocchi recipes,…

This is another quick, easy & delicious Thai recipe that ticks all the boxes. The pork fillet makes a nice change from chicken, and the tartness of the lime is fresh and interesting. Two Thai chillis make it pretty hot, so unless you’re a heat fiend, I’d recommend starting with…

Seared Tuna with Teriyaki Roasted Pak Choi
This is a new favourite – very light & fresh, but at the same time bursting with flavour. And with this recipe I discovered a new leafy green that I love. In fact, if I’m honest, the only leafy green I really love. So that in itself was a crazy…

Tumeric Fish with Peanuts & Chilli Lime
This is one of those recipes that looks underwhelming from the ingredient list, but is a wonderful surprise when you make it. Very simple too, with pretty standard Asian ingredients and very little prep time. I usually work on about 150-200g of fish fillet per person, but adjust according to…

Roasted Tomato & Feta Pasta
A terrible photo of a remarkable pasta. Even worse, I photographed the leftovers. This is my version of the baked tomato & feta pasta ‘recipe’ that did the rounds on social media during the Covid lockdown. The tomatoes and feta are baked and mashed together to create a delicious tangy…

Red Thai Curry Fishcakes with Chilli Crisp
These fishcakes are a strong contender for Recipe of The Year 2023. Hot on the heals of Thai-Style Fishcakes with Cucumber Coriander Dressing. And it’s only April! How much fire power these fishcakes have will depend on your brand of curry paste and the chilli crisp. I didn’t find the…
