Mamma B’s Leek + Potato Soup

June 1, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

What can I say? This soup was a staple of my childhood and beyond. My sister and I were raised on vats of the stuff and it’s always the thing I want my Mum to make me when I go home. Traditionally a bowl of this leek and potato soup with be eaten, not with […]

Winter Waldorf Salad

January 25, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

Waldorf salad has always been a favourite of mine. I’m sometimes wary of fruit in savoury things but I love the combination of the crunchy cabbage and celery with the sweet apple and raisins. The toasted walnuts and creamy but tart dressing round off the range of flavours, which although varied and seemingly a bit random […]

Mini Vegan Cottage Pies

January 5, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

The inspiration for these little cottage pies came from twitter, believe it or not. I’m not so great at the whole twitter thing. I mean, I’m not technologically incompetent – I understand how it works and everything. It’s just there are only so many hours in the day and between instagram, email, Facebook and other […]

December 22, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

I mean.. where do I start? The stroke of inspiration for this recipe came to me last night, as I sat alone eating a tub of Almond Dream ice-cream for dinner. What can I say – great things can come of spending Friday nights alone with no-one else but your thoughts for company (I also had […]

Roasted Butternut, Sage and Chilli Soup with Toasted Savoury Seeds

October 18, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

As the days are now darker, and the year is coming to an end there are pumpkins everywhere. Not feeling quite ready to tackle a whole pumpkin I thought I’d ease myself in to the autumnal cooking season with the more pear-shaped sister of the pumpkin, the butternut squash. Sage and butternut are a time […]

Cheese and Chive Stuffed Potato Skins

August 3, 2016.Reading time 6 minutes.

I love potatoes. And cheese. Put together they form the the dream combination of comforting carbs and creamy cheesy goodness. I spent my youth eating jacket potatoes with cheese, graduating to cheesy chips at uni and then on to other such wonderful discoveries such as tartiflette while in France. Giving up cheese was the single […]
