Allow me to make a case for overcooked beans: they are AMAZING. Sure they go a little more olive-coloured than the snap-steamed bright green that we’re used to (and perhaps reminds us a little of the overcooked veg our nans might serve up when we were kids), but as far as vegetables go, beans can […]
Fancy enough for a dinner party, filling enough for a lunchbox – she’s a winner! Personally I love the mix of soft and crunchy veggies, all wrapped up in fresh herbs, but please do use whatever you have on hand. The dressing is a sweet/piquant mix of red wine vinegar and honey, but is accommodating […]

A few years ago now with an abundance of zucchini in our fridge, I found this recipe in one of the Pete Evans cookbooks we own. I instantly knew I had to try this as the ingredients are some of my favourites. Not only that, I love to try new things. Sometimes it feels like […]
This is such a simple dish rich with the honest, earthy flavour of the veg, and a tangy, sharp dressing. The obligatory handful of fresh herbs over the top ties it all together for the salad you won’t be able to stop making all summer long. This kind of salad (or even this kind of […]
Many years ago, pre children Ben and myself were fortunate to travel round Europe.
