Quick Grilled Chicken with Wild Garlic Pesto

Being a city dweller, I was lucky to receive two supremely fresh ingredients this week: wild garlic from Riverford and chicken breasts from an Oxfordshire farm (thanks to my friend, who assures me the animals were running around on Friday). So I needed a quick, simple way to put these two together. With a little inspiration, I settled on grilled chicken with wild garlic pesto.

Cheesy Bubble and Squeak

Cabbages are one of those vegetables that I never quite know what to do with. But being in England, I had to try bubble and squeak. Mixing cabbages with some of my favourite vegetables, then frying them – how could it not succeed?

Gobi (Cauliflower) Paratha

I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of Indian food. And I’m not the biggest fan of cauliflower. But this is one time where the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

Zucchini Slice

Every time zucchinis turn up in my veg box (no, I will not call them courgettes), I have a craving to turn them into Creamy Zucchini Pasta. But I’ve resisted that urge and gone back to basics with an ‘Australian classic’ – at least, I don’t believe another nation has claimed this as their own…

Lemon Delicious

Self-saucing puddings have always fascinated me. I mean, sauces usually get poured on top of the dessert. But with these puddlings, they look just like a normal cake, but have a secret, gooey sauce underneath! Last weekend, I tried my friend’s ‘5-starred’ lemon delicious recipe. It looked so simple, I wasn’t completely convinced it would work – but thankfully (as we had guests), it did.
