Shallot and Mustard Dressing/Vinaigrette
This is a stone-cold classic French vinaigrette (I did learn the recipe at Le Cordon Bleu after all) and it will bring most salads to life.
Sweetcorn Chowder
It’s still wet and miserable and feels more like October than July, so soup seemed more appropriate than salads and picnics.
Tangy Cucumber Salad
I find it really hard to get my children to eat salads – they’re fine with salad vegetables on their own, but combine or dress them and then they’re not keen.
Carrot and Poppy Seed Salad
Well we’re just back from a fantastic holiday in the South of France featuring beach fun in the Languedoc and then the incredibly wild and beautiful scenery of the Cévennes and Aveyron.
Beetroot, Parsnip and Horseradish Soup
This is a fantastic soup: earthy, rooty flavours with the punch of horseradish, and such a vibrant colour – a real autumnal warmer! Beetroot, Parsnip and Horseradish Soup (dairy-free, egg-fre…

Gorgeous Fluffy Green Couscous
This recipe is a bit of an amalgamation between Yotam Ottolenghi’s Green Couscous and my Guaranteed Fluffy Couscous Salad.
Curried Parsnip Soup
Brrrr, it’s cold! The temperature has dropped – suddenly it’s frosty, the trees are bare and there’s the hint of Christmas in the air.
Mediterranean vegetable and parsley Pasta Salad

It’s all very well starting the New Year with vibrant super food salads, but dark, cold January also requires some comfort foods.
Celeriac, Apple and Thyme Soup
It’s snowing today in the UK – proper piles of fluffy white stuff everywhere! We normally have a little sprinkle of snow that melts almost immediately, so a decent amount of snow is a r…
Super Food Salad
Another salad that rocks, this one inspired by a salad eaten in a Giraffe restaurant.
Sweetcorn and Leek Soup
Brrr, it’s been freezing for weeks, so soups have been a regular feature for lunch.
Antipasti Salad
I came across this concept on Pinterest and it seemed like a great way of making a punchy flavourful salad in the depths of winter when few salad vegetables are at their best.
