Green Thai salad with black sesame, pomegranate and toasted cashews

Far too much garlic added to this by mistake but other than that it tasted divine - very fresh flavours and also filling. Such a pretty dish too.

Salmon tartare with toasted rye bread

Such a great substitute for having the steak version. We both thought this was such a treat... Harry had an avocado with his too and I had a few quails eggs otherwise it wasn't filling enough as a main course.

Fresh mackerel salad with lentils and roasted peppers


The added extra flavours were fennel and roasted onions to give it a bit more interest, but this was a very nutritious weekday supper.

Ottolenghi's winterslaw salad


Such an amazing salad - a real adult family favourite. Adapted to be vegan friendly with replacing the butter for frying the nuts which still made them crispy. 

BBQ'd baby aubergine, peppers, beetroot and almonds with pesto dressing, garlic flatbreads


This was a delicious summer lunch with family, served with Good Life falafels and a green salad. Kids got chipolatas too! The flatbreads were really popular with everyone - such a treat when homemade.

Sardines with garlic, parsley and lemon

Sadly neither of us liked these sardines. Just TOO FISHY and BONEY! We couldn't even finish them. Lucky we had cauliflower rice and spinach to eat with toast instead... One source of omega 3 we don't like.

Pan fried seabass with tomato salsa and curly kale

Looks fancy but takes the time it takes for the potatoes to boil to cook. Seriously! So full of nutrition as all ingredients organic.

Smoked mackerel and quinoa salad


Very easy quick supper that's really just an assembly job of pre-made red quinoa, a beautifully smoked whole mackerel from the fishmonger and edamame. I made a good dressing with strong flavours that work wel with the fish - lime, ginger and chilli flakes.
