Scallops with spiced parsnip purée and rainbow chard

Unusual combo but we don't have much choice in Arnamurchan plus we bought the amazing rainbow chard just today directly from a veg grower. Added crispy kale for texture, taste and fun. Bloody delicious.

Non-dairy fish pie, believe it or not!

First time I've attempted a white sauce with cashew butter/flax oil, flour and almond milk but it worked! It tasted quite nutty at first but less so once I added lemon juice and then baked it with the cod plus sweet/potato mash with scattered rosemary. Harry had seconds so couldn't have been bad. I thought it was a good light alternative.

Smoked mackerel and 3 pulse salad with crispy kale

Kale crisps fast so need to watch the burn but it's a really nice texture with a mushy salad. This had sesame seeds and pine nuts in it too.

Cacao nibs

These are Ella's raw brownies with almonds and added cacao nibs for bite. Very sticky and delicious

Prawns in garlic and parsley with linguine

What a huge treat. These were caught the afternoon we ate them for dinner.

Date and almond loaf


This loaf took forever to bake as very wet and no fat but tasted Mmmmmm in the end.

Smoked trout in my pout

Broccoli with lemon tahini sauce topped with chia seeds plus Scottish smoked trout (and a bit of salmon). I really like most 'healthy' food stuffs but there's something so heavy and smelly about pumpernickel that I might not eat it much more.

Arrrrrribaaaa


This was all a bit Mexican with cacan spiced sweet potato, tomato salsa and guacamole. Very satisfying and a bit different.
