What do you crave when you only have to cook for yourself? For me – shrimp marinara – clean flavors, deeply satisfying, no negotiating dinner options, no extra sides, oh well maybe a slab of foccacia bread to mop that glossy sauce. Juicy prawn morsels, …
This piadina pizza bakes fast, even with a homemade Marinara sauce. No apologies for eating slices folded straight from the tray.
These air fryer cabbage wedges go sweet in the middle, smoky at the edges, then get dressed with chili oil, thyme and Parmesan. Simple, punchy, and weeknight-friendly.
These buttermilk crepes are thicker than classic crepes, slightly tangy, and easy to flip. Perfect for sweet toppings or savory fillings.
A cozy broccoli and Stilton soup in a soup maker with a white-bean twist: silky, high-fibre, no cream needed – finished with lemon and a crunchy seed topping.
If you’ve ever had a glut of cucumbers, you’ll know the urge to preserve them. In my family, fermenting wasn’t a hobby, it was a way of life. When the garden and fields overflowed with produce, everything went into jars: tomatoes (even the green ones), cabbage, cucumbers.
This cottage cheese avocado toast with a sprinkle of sumac and chili flakes has been my go-to for breakfast in a hurry, lazy lunches and protein-packed snacks. It’s creamy, tangy, a little spicy and so incredibly easy to throw together.
Roasted Pepper Pasta Salad is one of my favorite ways to turn grilled peppers into something hearty and satisfying. They take on that deep, smoky sweetness that works beautifully in this pasta salad.
When summer courgettes are piling up in the fridge, this courgette pea soup is my go-to. It’s naturally sweet from the veg, surprisingly satisfying thanks to the peas, and ready in under 30 minutes. Bonus: the Parmesan crisps make it feel elegant, though they are so fast to make!
When you want something that feels fancy but takes under 30 minutes, this pesto and ricotta pasta is your weeknight savior. It’s creamy without cream, fresh and peppery, and gloriously green. Not to mention that I upped the amount of protein by doubling down on the ricotta!
