The good weather got me thinking of this really simple, delicious dish. A Greek classmate once showed me how to make it. She simply charred the peppers in a few minutes over an open gas flame but you can use a grill. This dish works well as a starter with some fresh bread, or as […]
This is a very quick and easy uncooked vegetable dish which I really like. With some protein like fish, meat, a frittata/omelette or a bean salad it provides a balanced meal.

Now the weather is lovely, my thoughts turn to all those things I can make in advance to graze on over the weekend, or for weekday lunchboxes.

With a green salad and maybe some gluten-free wholemeal bread, or some leftover cooked millet or brown rice stirred in it makes a main meal. This looks like a complicated soup but it is easy to make, provided you keep a storecupboard of some basic […]
