Lentilicious soup

This recipe was inspired by a trip to my local Coop At this time of year I am desperate to eat wholesome filling food , whilst  also trying to avoid buying lunch at work.  I reckoned soup was they way to go and, believe it or not, I wanted something vegetarian. Now before you all…

Peanut M&M Flapjacks

One of my Hubby’s favourite treats are flapjacks and if I’m being honest I’ve never been totally happy with the way mine turned out.  Don’t get me wrong, he loves them, but I always feel that mine are a little dry and crumbly despite adding lots of fruit to the mix and making sure they…

Chicken and Chorizo Cassolé

I call this recipe Cassolé as a play on words as this is neither truly a casserole nor a cassoulet but is a happy accident combining the best bits of both.  A cassoulet is all about sausage and beans, whereas a casserole is usually about slow cooked meat and vegetables but thankfully this dish ticks…
