BRITISH LEEKS – RECIPE REVIEW – LEEK WHITE BEAN AND SMOKED HADDOCK STEW

This year I made a promise to myself. This was to experiment with more foods, and follow more recipes so I can gain better skills in the kitchen. I mean you do not learn out of nowhere, and following recipes allow you to learn more skills and give you a better understanding of food pairings. Leeks are a vegetable that I rarely use in my cooking. I adore leek and potato soup, however that is as far as my leek usage goes. So when I got chatting to British Leeks…

I am a huge lover of fish and try to incorporate it into my diet as much as possible. Whenever I go out for dinner it will always be my dish of choice. However I have always battled with fish, as I discussed with my papa its not an easy ingredient to work with. I have already brought you dishes using hake, sea bass and lemon sole. I thought it was time for a another fish dish. However this time I wanted to spice things up a bit, make the…

EASY SIMPLE BREAKFAST FRITTATA

Its a Sunday. One of those days where there is not much left in the cupboards, and a big shop is due. Its funny that I always end up making better meals when I just have to bang some stuff together. I admit a frittata is not hard. However when I have a fridge full of food, something this simple is never thought of! Thats probably why I enjoyed it more as it has literally been months since I ate a good frittata. As I said I didnt have much…

CHICKPEA TOMATO AND FETA SALAD RECIPE

This is by far the most easiest and tastiest summer salad you could make. I spend all summer eating and making salads and I am sick of the same old leafy base. Its boring. So I decided to whip up something different. We are a house of chickpeas and I love cooking with them. However I forget how nice they are on their own. I also forget how good chickpeas actually are for you. They contain super amounts of protein and fibre. So I thought a chickpea tomato and feta…

Of course instead of deep frying the potato we would lightly fry it with the onions and garlic (of course) in some olive oil. Add…
