Ping! This is how this dish should make you feel. We combine eggs with all the good stuff – chilli, coriander, spring onion, and spices to make a really lovely omelette. This is a recipe for 1 so increase the quantity if you are making it for more people. Perfect for a brunch or lunch or even dinner – this is a versatile, super speed recipe to adapt throughout the year but particularly good in September or October if you grew your own chillies this year!…

Courgette & Lemon Pasta
Courgette and lemon pasta makes a speedy summer meal. Use as many courgettes as you like! The lemon is lovely and refreshing! If you’re feeling fancy, you could make your own pasta but we find that chucking it from a packet into a pan is quick and just as tasty!!…
Summer Veg & Mustard Tart
This tart will always manage to look beautiful on a Summer table. Taking inspiration from a French recipe where mustard forms a really delicious base for your veg to sit on top of, this makes for a really tasty lunch or add in some boiled new potatoes and salad for dinner. A mix of different tomatoes sitting on top with basil leaves makes it look delicious too!…
Green Coconut Curry
We really enjoy recipes that use a lot of garden ingredients – so here’s one that celebrates the green veg available at this time of year, maintaining all that fresh vibrant colour in a delicious curry. Feel free to adjust the spicing to make it spicier or keep it fairly mild. You can also use all the veg suggested or keep it simple with just a couple of different ingredients! Serve with lime segments and steamed basmati rice for a lovely Summer meal!…
Early Summer Stuffed Courgettes
For us, a stuffed courgette really means Summer has started. As this year has been so sunny, we have absolutely tonnes – have you got any good recipes to share with us?? We need courgette ideas…. so more recipes coming soon! Stuffed courgettes are delicious with minty new potatoes and a crisp green salad. Eat in the sunshine!!…
Pizza of Potato
So Cuddly Carrot has been sneaking off on holiday recently to warmer shores in Greece but we are now back and full of Aegean inspired ideas! The ingredients available in the Mediterranean to the enthusiastic cook are very inspiring – fresh and dried bunches of herbs, sun dried local tomatoes, courgettes with their flowers still intact and pretty; as well as the staples of olive oil, olives, honey, capers… the list goes on! With this in mind, we’ve created a tasty pizza with fresh green chard, new potatoes, juicy kalamata olives on a vibrant pesto base. Gluten free pizza may be drawing up less eyebrow than it used to and we think our base is pretty good! Of course you could always make this topping on a conventional pizza base. Ours, however, is simple and quick to make and very light and crisp. Delish!!…
Arancini
This is probably the best way of using left over risotto. Originating from Sicily, arancini are stuffed rice balls with a crispy exterior and delicious melty filling. We like to make these particularly with pea or butter nut squash risotto. They are a really nice alternative to a sandwich for lunch, served with a green salad. As you’ve done all the hard work already with the risotto, there’s little to do!

Leek Croustade
A crumbly oat pastry base tart topped with melting creamy leeks. We all need a good hearty meal for the weekend and whilst this takes a little time to prepare, it’s well worth it. Serve with roast potatoes and a vibrant salad to please a crowd. …
Lemony Borlotto Beans
This is a very easy, tasty and nourishing dish that can be made in advance, eaten at room temperature or warmed up the next day for an easy lunch or dinner with a green salad. We all like a good bit of comfort food in the Winter and we think this hits the spot without being too heavy!…
Red Cabbage Casserole
Traditionally red cabbage is cooked gently and slowly for a long time but you can also cut the cooking time for a delicious healthy and colourful winter veg dish. We love this with a baked potato or as a side dish with a tart or pie. The sweetness goes really well with more earthy flavours….
