Little screams summer quite like summer rolls. This traditionally Vietnamese version of a spring roll is arguably a lot healthier than its deep-fried counterpart and is deliciously fresh and crisp. They make a fantastic lunch or appetiser on their own, or part of a larger finger food spread. The other day I served these for lunch with some of my marinated chicken satay and fresh mint tea for a very enjoyable Sunday lunch. It’s also the perfect dish for using up any left-over vegetables and ...
As soon as temperatures start rising, I instantly start craving delicious salads. I’m a huge fan of a classic Caesar salad recipe, Italian Caprese or flavourful pesto pasta salad, but sometimes you just want something different, and perhaps a little more filling, which is when I love to make a noodle salad! You already have my recipe for chicken teriyaki noodle salad, and today I’m sharing with you my recipe for an ultra-fresh and super summery beef and lime noodle salad! ...

My chicken teriyaki noodle salad recipe turned out to be one of the most delicious things I have made in a long time. The great thing about this recipe is that you can experiment endlessly, and ...
Ah, very little feels more rewarding than a delicious plate of fresh homemade filled pasta after hours of hard work in the kitchen. Admittedly, no matter how often you practise, making fresh pasta (and filled pasta in particular) takes a lot of time and effort. It is however really not very difficult, and if you have enough time and patience, it can be a stress-free process (though I’ll be honest and tell you this is rarely the case for me). I already shared with you my recipe for ...
