Similar to the Swiss classic Potato Rosti, but with the addition of egg, these lovely potato cakes are delicious, easy and versatile. It’s also a good recipe to make for children and even better, get them involved in the whole process! They are a great as snacks, as a side dish for roast chicken or a meal in itself!
‘Proper’ Chilli Con Carne
Chilli is really one of those dishes that has been globally annihilated. This Chilli recipe is an authentic and delicious one and contains a surprise ingredient of Cocoa that really adds a smokey depth of flavour.
Spiced Lamb Koftas
So many countries around the world have their own version of these meaty patties and it just goes to show you how versatile they can be. I love every single version of them, but here is my own version that borrows its earthy spices from the middle east, but takes its heat from the fiery chillies that the Indians use to flavour their version. I like to serve mine with aromatic Basmati rice, which makes the perfect accompaniment.
Leek & Mushroom Lasagna with Four Cheese Sauce
If you think this dish is just for vegetarians, you’d be wrong! I am usually a total carnivore, but this dish left me 100% satisfied! With its rich cheese and leek sauce and beefy mushroom bite, it’s a great alternative to meat and really easy to make!
‘Japanese’ Style Vegetable Risotto with Scallops
A wonderful spin on the classic Italian Risotto using Japanese Sushi rice, in place of your normal Italian Risotto rice. Using Miso, Lemongrass and Ginger to create a flavoursome and aromatic base for the dish, topped with perfectly seared juicy scallops.
Mongolian Lamb Skewers with Peanut Noodles
Wonderfully aromatic marinated lamb with a hint of chilli, perfectly complimented by a cold noodle salad with a peanut and chilli dressing. Absolutely delicious as a main meal or snack and involves very little cooking.
Keralan Coconut Prawn Curry
A heavenly curry from the ‘Coconut Coast’ of southern India. Packed with flavour and spices but sweet and creamy with delicious coconut and juicy prawns. Every bite literally melts in your mouth
Thai Minced Pork Lettuce Cups
One of my favourite Thai dishes, meaty and zingy with just a hint of spice. Deliciously healthy, perfect as a quick and tasty meal or snack. Great for sharing and can be made ahead of time, making them perfect for dinner parties.
Crab Linguine
A delicious and simple pasta dish using crab meat, which is in season right now, and just a few other simple ingredients. Quick and easy and the perfect end-of-summer dish
