Egg-free French Toast/Pain Perdu
I haven’t eaten French toast since I was at Uni, but there’s something ultimately comforting about it.
Speedy Refried Beans
Refried bean can be a bit of an acquired taste (and to be honest not the prettiest dish!), but they’re such a great vegetarian protein boost in a Mexican meal and the perfect accompaniment to…
Frazzled Thyme Onions
These simple crispy onions are the ideal topping for a burger or addition to a salad or sandwich.
Chilli and Broccoli Salad
We’ve recently been swamped by broccoli – we seem to keep buying it although the fridge is full to bursting! Broccoli is lovely just boiled/steamed, but it’s good to do something …

This idea came to me after seeing a delicious sounding Ottolenghi recipe in this month’s Waitrose magazine for broad bean and mint cakes.
