Honey + orange roasted carrots with whipped feta + pickled radish
Whether you’re looking for an impressive starter or simply just love dishes packed full of flavour, you’re gonna love this recipe I created recently for Taste Magazine. Making vegetables the star I’ve roasted beautiful baby carrots in an orange/honey mixture until sticky and golden. Whipped feta brings a touch of salt, while lurid pink (naturally […]
Roasted potato salad with lentils + curried yoghurt dressing
I don’t know about you guys, but I still don’t have a plan for Christmas this year! In a family who generally likes to be quite organised, we’re never that great at organising Christmas celebrations.
