Sweet, savoury, umami — this miso-glazed salmon Sweet, savoury, umami — this miso-glazed salmon has that sticky, caramelised kiss that makes you want to lick the spoon.

I love dishes like this: clean ingredients, bold flavour, and just enough glamour to feel special — but still easy enough for weeknights.

There’s a kind of culinary mischief in this chic There’s a kind of culinary mischief in this chicken and tofu, in a creamy tikka sauce that really shouldn’t work — but here it does, beautifully.

I started with a vegan tikka masala, but that chicken breast in the fridge wouldn’t leave me alone. So I let it in. The tofu gets crisp, the sauce turns velvety, and the onion bhajis add that satisfyingly crunchy contrast.

It’s not about rules. It’s about what’s in your kitchen, what you crave, and what surprises you.

🧁 Creamy. Salty. Sweet. All in one bowl. I fir 🧁 Creamy. Salty. Sweet. All in one bowl.

I first tasted whipped feta under the Greek sun, silky, drizzled in local honey, with crusty bread to scoop. Back home, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

So I made my own version, whipped feta + honey paired with a warm sundried-tomato & chickpea chutney. It’s deceptively simple, dramatic enough for a dinner party, and comes together in about 20 minutes.

I love recipes like this, impressive, but no fuss. It’s the kind of dish that makes you look like you know exactly what you’re doing, even if you don’t. 😉

Cooking when you’re not in a rush is the best ki Cooking when you’re not in a rush is the best kind of cooking. When you can hear the sizzle of garlic in the pan, watch the courgettes soften and sweeten turning translucent, tearing the basil… and the smell of summer on your fingers.

My courgette rigatoni with ricotta, lemon and basil contains the most humble of ingredients, but when you give them the time and attention they deserve, they become something utterly delicious.

Follow along for really easy recipes that are always packed with plants. 🌱

If you love creamy risotto, this king prawn tomato If you love creamy risotto, this king prawn tomato risotto needs to be on your weeknight rotation. It layers tomato three ways, tinned, cherry, and sun-dried - for rich depth of flavour, while prawns are seared with lemon for a fresh, zesty finish. The secret to the silkiness? A spoonful of mascarpone at the end that makes it almost indecently creamy. 😚

This dish is pure comfort food, quick enough for weeknights (ready in under 30 minutes) but impressive enough for a date night dinner or dinner party. Perfect for meal prep too! Portion it up and enjoy risotto that tastes just as good the next day.

Life can get so busy sometimes, but the kitchen never, ever leaves my heart. It’s where my hands remember what my head forgets sometimes - that creativity isn’t lost, it just waits oh so patiently for you to come back. 

This Thai King Prawn with Baby Corn Currry was an absolute joy to make and I can’t wait to share the recipe with you over on my blog. For now you’ll just have to watch me make it and guess what’s in it. 😋 🧡
