What can I make with orzo? Last time I went to the shop the pasta shelves were bare. The Covid 19 crisis has really hit pasta hard. All 3 of us in this family have pasta addictions so when I managed to find one lonely bag of rejected orzo at the back of Tesco…

Pumpkin Mac and Cheese
Another pumpkin recipe for Halloween! Prep I usually buy a cauliflower each week and just roast it up when I have the oven on. I’ll always find a use for it somewhere – it’s nice for lunch with grains and a simple tahini dressing. If you’re short on time you could skip the roasting cauliflower…

Mushroom & Brie Veggie Burger
You can’t beat a good burger. I love allll the veggie burger types. This one was sort of created as a vehicle for my Vegan Black Garlic Aioli but it’s good on its own or with your own favourite sauces and sides. My parents dropped round with a gift of red wine and cheese the other day –…
Kale, Orange & Beetroot Salad With Spiced Halloumi Fries
Harissa I bought a pot of harissa the other day and have been putting it on pretty much everything ever since. My husband loves halloumi so it seemed like the perfect candidate for a harissa treatment, and the kale, orange and beetroot salad provides the perfect, refreshing and healthy backdrop to the salty, spiced cheese….
