Love your food ~ love your body
This is another really quick dinner for when you don’t have a lot of time or inclination to cook. I never really liked flat fish much before seeing how Nigel Slater cooked it in his book, “Real Fast food”. Use plaice, sole or lemon sole, which will take a bit longer as it’s more robust. […]
This is just the thing for when you have a minute in the evening but no time in the morning rush. You can even make it in a glass jar with lid and take it with you to work. I adapted the recipe from one by Derval O’Rourke to have more protein and a lot […]
This is real comfort food and a great crossover dish for feeding vegetarians and carnivores at the same dinner table. It’s pretty rich in protein do if you are feeding a vegetarian its a good choice. But you can also serve it as an accompaniment to roast or grilled meat or fish. I love to […]
This is delicious hot, lukewarm or cold. I also like to mix leftovers with cooked quinoa to take to work. People living on the Greek island of Ikaria have the secret of healthy longevity.

The combination of mint and grilled aubergine gives a Middle Eastern feel, I think. do try to get true feta (made from […]
I like to cook this to go with a fish, meat or vegetarian curry. This is great with the butterbean curry I posted recently, or any Indian fish, meat or lentil curry. I adapted this recipe from “The classic 1000 Indian recipes” switching to coconut oil instead of polyunsaturated vegetable oil. I love to have […]
