This recipe calls for the poussins to be butterflied and if you are somewhat of a novice like me to butchery then do a search on Youtube for a mini tutorial. It’s really simple but a good pair of kitchen scissors are very handy for such a job. This recipe has the wow factor and… Continue reading Cornish Game Hens and Garlic

So simple and seasonal with lots of artichokes and broad (fava) beans to be found right now. But don’t worry if you can’t find fresh broad beans as this recipe uses frozen ones. Definately remove their skins, which is a tiny bit of work but so worth it. I boiled my beans instead of steaming… Continue reading Artichoke and Fava beans with lemon dressing

These little tarts are utterly delicious and can be eaten hot or cold. The last time I made them, I baked the onions and walnuts together with the other ingredints, meaning they were even easier to prepare . Makes 12. Ingredients 80g of butter 3 tbsps. of olive oil 1 onion, sliced 1 tsp. of… Continue reading Spinach and Walnut tarts

I couldn’t find any boneless chicken breasts with the skin on so I used breasts still on the bone. I cooked them for a 45 mins and they were delicious. Gluten-free and really easy to make. The nut stuffing was just gorgeous and perfect with salad. Ingredients 120ml of chicken stock Pinch of saffron thread, lightly crushed… Continue reading Stuffed Chicken with Nuts

These rolls were lovely and crispy but I think my filling was a little to moist. Maybe next time I will try a half sweet potato and potato mix. Ingredients 2 sweet potatoes Juice of 1 lime ¼ tsp. of ground sumac ½ tsp. of clear honey 2 tbsps. of chopped fresh coriander 275g of… Continue reading Sweet Potato and Sumac Filo Rolls

I love to cook with freekah as it takes on whatever flavours you pair with really well. This recipe is fantastic for using up store cupboard ingredients like capers or gerkins. Omit the crispy onions if you feel they are too much fuss but they are worth it in the end. Ingredients 350g of freekah… Continue reading Sea Bass fillets with Freekeh and Crispy Onions

We made these lamb burgers a few weeks ago and they were delicious. I made only 4 and not 8 as the recipe suggests. Dress them up however you like. Omit or swap flour to make them gluten-free. Ingredients 500g of minced lamb 1 onion, grated 3 tbsps. of breadcrumbs 2 tbsps. of plain flour… Continue reading Lamb Burger

The Lebanese potato side dish known as batata harra is quite similar to Spanish pastas bravas. Gluten-free, vegan and a sinch to make. This recipe is spot on but frying time may take up to 20 minutes. I used new potatoes and they were perfect. Ingredients 3 potatoes, cut into 2cm cubes 1 tsp. of… Continue reading Batata Harra

This recipe could not be easier. I left the wings to marinade overnight and they needed an extra 15 mins but I think I need a new oven.. 🙁 …We’ll definitely be eating these lots of the coming months. Ingredients 1kg of chicken wings 4 tbsps. of olive oil 4 garlic cloves, crushed 1 tsp.… Continue reading Chicken Wings in Garlic

More of a Pan de Higo (Spanish fig and almond cake) than a jam but delicious none the less. A perfect pairing for any cheese board. If you’d like a more jam like consistency maybe double or tripple the amount of water below. I had no lemon leaves so used sweet geranium instead. Gluten-free and… Continue reading Fig Jam
