A souper New Year.
For the third issue of Superfood Magazine I was asked to come up with six soup recipes, dishes to warm your wintery cockles and that put a spring in your step, and this was one I just had to include.
Read moreBourbon and clementine salmon
Every party needs a centrepiece.
And over the years salmon has often been it. Whether it’s been poached and served with chilled cucumber or smoked and scoffed with buttered brown bread, we’ve enjoyed this delicious fish gracing our tables dressed up in a number of ways.
Read moreSummery orzo pasta salad
Wiping the winter cobwebs away.
As the weather starts to warm up, salads naturally put in more of a mealtime appearance. But while tasty, I’m rarely content with leaves alone, preferring to add a few grains that can bring texture, make a meal go further and keep me fuller for longer.
Read moreProtein power salad
Protein power.
When I’ve scoffed more than my fair share of pasta or guzzled too much vino, I like getting back in to clean eating, straight living, gym attending mode. At least for a little while.
Read moreSpanish cod one pot
A dish that needs little introduction.
Cod simmered in chorizo and saffron spiked broth with chick peas, lemon and parsley. Just typing it makes my mouth water.
Read moreRustic French fish stew
I’ve been called a magpie once or twice over the years.
I’d like to say it’s purely on account of my eclectic taste and ability to locate interesting finds. But it’s also been said because of my light-fingered mits.
Read moreCrispy coconut prawns with sriracha mayo and kaffir lime salt
Pimped up panko.
It is the breadcrumb of kings, make no mistake. Unadulterated it is crispy perfection, but it also mixes brilliantly with many other ingredients to create more interesting coatings.

Black pizza with pepper purée, goat’s cheese and crab
Aaah, black. In my eyes, the finest colour.
Jeans, jewellery and cars are all better in the inky dark cloak that is black. I love how it can be glamorous, serious and dramatic, in fashion I like how easy it is to wear (I especially like how it tries to make me look thinner), but I’ve never really been drawn to black food – until now.
Read moreSingaporean seafood laksa
Slurptastic noodle doodles.
A few years ago I worked in Leeds, and in moving into my Yorkshire home-from-home I was delighted to discover that Amie (the Cornish girl I was sharing with) was as hooked on noodles and oriental food as I am.
Read moreOne pot Cajun prawns and rice
Packing flavour into one pot.
I’m lucky enough to have been on Tastespotting and Foodgawker a bit recently, they’re food blog aggregator sites and aside from the glow I get when a post is accepted, they regularly serve as inspiration for photography, styling and recipes.
