Tuscan Bean Soup with Pesto and Soda Bread
This is a fabulously healthy meal of a soup, great for cold days and a good way of using up vegetables in your veg box.
Mini Pork Pies
There is a fabulous butchery chain in North Yorkshire called Newboulds who make the best pork pies on the planet, especially their Midgets. These are mini pork pies and I loved these growing up in Redcar, I still buy some when I’m up visiting friends and family
Mulligatawny Soup
This Indian soup is a whole meal in itself, adjust the chili if you prefer a milder version. Delicious with naan or cumin scented scones.
Roast tomato, chicken and lentil soup
This soup was made up from leftovers in my fridge. A few sad looking tomatoes and red peppers, left over chicken from a Sunday roast and some lentils to add extra protein. It was delicious.
Greek Meze
On a warm summer’s day these will remind you of holidays in the Med; Greece, Turkey, Morocco, Israel, wherever. They are delicious and lovely to make for snacks, lunch with a Greek salad and to share with friends.
Summer Canapés with Edible Tulip Petals
I love edible flowers, they add colour and texture to many different dishes and create a ‘wow’ factor on even the most plain, simple dishes. So when Janice at Greens of Devon emailed me to say they were launching edible tulips this spring I was so excited it was silly.
Roast veg with cous cous and harissa canape
This is a lovely recipe to make at home as you can use some of it for lunch or as a superfood salad and serve the remainder as a canapé that evening.
Watermelon and Feta Canapes on Edible Tulips
Super dooper easy canapes that look spectactular served on edible tulip leaves from Greens of Devon.
Chicken Tikka Salad Canape
These taste delicious and there is a great cheat here too. You could make the tikka yourself or you could buy it ready made, up to you. The edible tulips are available from Greens of Devon.
