Foraged mussels


The boys picked these mussels off the rocks on the beach below our house we've rented in Scotland. Such a fun idea but so many little pearls inside them it was quite a crunchy experience...

Goan have a mouthful of this fresh tasting curry


This was a sort of Coconut Curry Pulse Stirfry with coriander and sesame seeds. Very quick and delicious after a days travelling to Arnamurchan

Teriyaki salmon on skis

Just organic teriyaki salmon with noodles and kale - wasn't sure if we could manage the diet in the Alps but we've got plenty of supplies. I'm going to have lots of meat and cheese for lunch as we're eating out. Yum

Being honest... Not nice!

My sister-in-law just reminded me to post this... It was aubergine, cashews, lentil sprouts, rocket topped with hummous and Gywneth's carrot dressing which I mucked about with and so it tasted like caca. Last night before holiday fridge clear out gone wrong!

Still froths!

Interesting to experiment with different types of milk and their frothing capabilities in my Aeroccino. Almond milk is less creamy but it does still produce a good head of foam just like normal milk!

Iron-boost

A plain one but sometimes you crave that as much as the fancy stuff. Harry had no egg, obviously but I felt I needed it. Pan-fried gnocchi with spinach and tenderstem.

Much cheaper than £42

This succulent number was Nobu black cod. Really delicious and felt like a treat but I think it does need 2-3 days to marinate well plus careful, brief cooking to bring out it's best.

A traditional Malay stir fry

Mee goreng was our second attempt in 5 years to enjoy tofu. I spiced and fried it separately to boost the flavour yet we still couldn't taste it! Nice dish overall though and quite quick to make.

Dreaming of Marrakech



Very much Ottolenghi-inspired, aubergine with sprouted lentils, pomegranate seeds, rocket and tahini dressing. No challenge to our taste buds as we would eat this kind of thing normally.
