This is a really quick and simple curry, which is easy to throw together as a midweek supper or as an accompaniment to a larger feast, from a few store cupboard, fridge and freezer staples. Garlic and fresh ginger keep for quite a while in the fridge, while tinned tomatoes and coconut milk keep forever, […]
Ingredient: crushed garlic
Cauliflower and Lentil Curry
This is a beautifully aromatic, gentle dahl which is a big favourite with my eldest as it doesn’t contain any chilli. It is really quick to prepare and makes a really nice accompaniment to a more substantial curry. It also makes a nice light lunch or supper, served in a bowl with some warm wholegrain […]

Crab and Chilli Noodles with Red Chicory and Broad Bean Salad
This recipe is packed with the Asian flavours of chilli, lime and coriander, and so it tastes delicious even if you are not able to buy fresh white crab meat. I generally use tinned crab, and have never received any complaints! I always serve this with a Red Chicory and Broad Bean Salad, the colours […]
Patatas Bravas

Spanish Tortilla
Just as nice cold as warm, this is great as a light lunch (nice served with a green salad) or served as an element in a tapas feast: it’s great as part of a picnic or as a packed lunch too. Loaded with peas, onions and tomatoes, use new potatoes to keep the GI down […]

Spicy Scallop Skewers
These scallop skewers are delicious whether served very spicy, or with no heat at all for those with a delicate pallet: it’s easy to divide the scallops into 2 containers and pour over unspiced marinade in one, before adding in the chilli flakes to the remainder.
