Silverbeet (Swiss Chard) is about the only thing still going strong in the vegetable garden at the moment, so I was looking for inspiration to use it in a recipe. Then I remembered the Black Venus Fried Rice that Maggie Lynch made in her cooking class which I attended recently (see previous post). So I […]
This is a perfect salad for lunch as it keeps well and is easy to put in a lunch box to take to work or school. The flavour will be even better the next day as the dressing soaks into the rice and beans. It is a balanced lunch just eaten as it is, but […]
A cold Saturday morning so I was looking for something delicious and warming for breakfast. I had some left over Grilled Salmon in the fridge so thought I would use that to make a frittata. Preheat your grill. Put your Ghee into a small frypan and put in the chopped Tenderstem Broccoli which has been […]
Attending a cooking class is a great way to learn new skills and get new ideas for healthy and tasty dishes. I really enjoy Maggie Lynch’s classes – https://www.iinh.net/taste-health-cooking-school/ – Maggie is so enthusiastic and she manages to produce an incredible amount of dishes in the time we spend in the class. The food is all […]
After making my Roast Sweet Potato and ButterBean Pate, I wanted something delicious to go with it for breakfast. So I decided to roast some Cherry Tomatoes and pile both of them onto Quinoa and Rice Cakes. This was very easy and quick to do on a busy morning. The recipe for the Sweet Potato […]

This week I have been making my own Hummus and I have made three types so far (as it has all been eaten), all very easy and very quick to make. Beetroot Hummus, Roasted Carrot Hummus and Roasted Red Onion Hummus. With all three I roasted the vegetables the day before whilst I was cooking […]
I generally don’t make New Year’s Resolutions as I find that when I used to make them (when I was much younger) they were too general (ie get fit) or I made too many (about 10) and after the initial momentum wore off I had really forgotten what they all were anyway. So for many […]
I have made my stuffing for Christmas Day and frozen it, so all I have to do is defrost it and pop it in the oven on the day. We are having 18 people over for Christmas Dinner, so anything which can be done in advance is always welcome. Our Turkey is bathing in a […]
