Sometimes the most simple dishes can be the most delicious. This simple pasta contains only 4 ingredients which come together to make a delicious whole. It is also fantastic cold, but I think that I would use broccoli in place of the pak choy. ( Whilst writing this up I discovered that pak choy and [...]

I am hosting Blogger Secret Ingredient this week and I had all manner of plans to cook something scrumptious involving my chosen ingredient, capers, on Friday night, however it was not to be.

The host for next friday’s Presto Pasta Night #163 is Chaya The Comfy Cook. I was up half of last Thursday night watching the UK election results. Consequently on Friday I was shattered, but greatly enjoying watching the sleep starved, over caffeinated presenters battle on – at one point one told the nation that the [...]

This week Ruth’s Presto Pasta Nights is hosted by Katie at Thyme for Cooking. Ever since I made my five greens pasta last week I have become mildly obsessed with greens and my fridge is bursting at the seams with them.
My submission this week is a frittata; using pasta in place of the more traditional [...]

These follow my usual [...]

Ever since Kathryn wrote about her Greens with Tahini I have been craving some greens (as well as being jealous of the greens she has been getting in her veggie box).
On Sunday a friend and I went to Osterley Park and had a picnic, long walk and enjoyed the sun. It really was surprisingly warm [...]

In all honesty there is nothing Italian at all about this salad, but the red, white and green vegetables reminded me of an Insalata Caprese and the colours of the Italian flag, and it looks pretty.
We needed a picnic supper tonight for a Scottish Dancing group that we go to and I found a bag [...]

Spring is here and as usual has caught me unawares; for a few days every spring I find I am wearing totally the wrong clothes and feeling hot and bothered and end up carrying jackets, fleeces and scarves around so I do not roast.
I also start to think about my diet in the spring and [...]

Caponata! As well as its deliciousness I also love the rhythm to the word Cap-on-ah-ta! I also wonder if this Italian aubergine based stew could also be the name of an Italian dance like the Tarantella – or maybe the dancers just eat a large plate of caponata after dancing? Or maybe I have an [...]

A very happy Easter to everyone. Normally Fuss Free Flavours is mainly fairly healthy, but Easter is upon us and a sinful pudding is allowed once in a while, and frankly the weather is London is so dreary that I think that a sinful pudding is mandatory for everyone. [...]
