Lamb and avocado wraps
Certainly healthier than a kebab 🙂 With my husband away, I have free rein to eat all the things that he normally doesn’t like or tend to eat. I’d bought myself a lamb steak but with it being so warm and sunny last weekend, I really didn’t fancy a piping hot meal. I wanted finger … Continue reading
Savoury Jellies: Crab salad served in a pea shoot and tomato jelly
Jelly making with a savoury twist Some of you may remember that last year, my husband and I visited London’s famous ‘Gherkin’ building to have dinner at Searcy’s restaurant on the top floor.

If I really crave something, I’ve learnt that sometimes it’s good to give in a little, just to get it out of your system so you don’t obsess about … Continue reading

Another blogger I follow has even named her blog Recipe Adaptors. I do it all the time too, like I’ve done today with this fennel … Continue reading
It’s Fish Friday :) Chinese rainbow salad with teriyaki salmon and seared scallops
Chinese rainbow salad (with teriyaki salmon and seared scallops) One of the other food bloggers I follow is on what she calls her rainbow diet, eating healthy food the colour of the rainbow, the brighter the better.

Simple salads: fig, ham and mozzarella salad
Fabulous figs I am LOVING the fresh figs we seem to be able to get hold of at the moment. They’re juicy, plump and packed with flavour.
