Think of this as a cross between satay sauce and red Thai curry sauce. It’s the perfect thing to turn your dinner leftovers into tomorrow’s lunch, dip in cukes, drizzle over leftover chicken or boiled eggs. Even heat it up, thin it with a little hot water and dress some […]

In our fruit and veg box this week there was a bunch of little beetroot and it made me remember a recipe in Alison Roman’s book Dining In. It roasts the beetroot in foil with olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper, infusing the beetroot with the vinegar. Here I […]
Buttered eggs or Eggs en Cocotte is a luxurious little way to cook an egg. It makes a delicious brunch or even a light dinner. The method is simple but the end product is delicious. The ingredients list below is for one egg but simply multiply for how many you […]
This is a really hearty soup that can be made totally vegetarian by using vegetable stock cubes rather than the beef stock cubes specified. It does involve quite a bit of chopping but after that it just simmers away on the stove for a couple of hours. Don’t be put […]
Introducing “Shakshuka”, eggs poached in a tomato and capsicum sauce. Great for a healthy brunch or for a light lunch or dinner. The recipe specifies 4 eggs but if your frypan is large enough you could easily poach 6 eggs instead, perfect for meat free Monday. Serve with bread or […]

“Pizza Beans” is another winner from Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen, it takes all the things we love about a great pasta bake ie cheese and turns it into what can be considered quite a healthy dish. I challenge even the biggest bean “hater” not to like/love this bubbling, cheesy, […]
Think of this as a spicy cheese on toast with an egg on top. It is a delicious breakfast but I think it would be perfect any time of day and it would make an “eggcelent” vegetarian dinner, although you would probably want both serves if it’s your dinner! There […]
I think this is simply the best use for leftover pasta. Pasta for a frittata can be any type of pasta and any type of sauce, although that said I do prefer it made with a long pasta shape. With a leafy salad or vegetable on the side, it turns […]
