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!…

Helen’s Dal
Brilliant served as a stand alone dish with rice or as part of a big Indian feast, this is healthy, quick and speedy dal. Once you’ve prepared the basic ingredients it really doesn’t take long at all to make – perfect for a nutritious mid week meal with family or friends. This is really delicious with our potato roti recipe!…
Romanesco, Leek & Mushroom Crumble
Savoury crumble is a great way to combine different textures in one pot! If you can’t find romanesco you could use broccoli or cauliflower instead. The sauce here is really enhanced with mustard and lemon, bringing the whole dish to life and complimenting the nutty garlicky top to perfection!…
Potato and Chard Curry
We really love curry. This one is Helen’s Friday night favourite for Autumn. Served with basmati rice, tasty home made chutney and a good raita, there really is no better comfort food. You could add French beans to this if you have them, but otherwise it’s great just as it is. Quick, fragrant and very easy to make, it will go down a storm. If you can’t get chard, use spinach with large leaves….
Quick Spinach Dal
This is a hearty comfort dish and really handy for a quick mid week meal. Basically the easiest Indian fast food you can make at home. This is definitely a Scottish style dal – thicker! We like it served with rice, chutney, and a crunchy poppadum….
Potato & Bean Salad
This is an excellent side dish or lunch. Use a waxy variety of potato like Charlotte or Desirée for the best results. We’ve paired this with a mustard vinaigrette but it would also work well with a home made mayonnaise. Make sure that you add the dressing to the potatoes while they’re cooling and they’ll soak up some of that delicious flavour….
pea and bean salad
We feel that nothing beats fresh peas and beans from the garden, lightly steamed and straight onto your plate! Here we combine their naturally sweet flavour with the sharpness of lemon and mustard as well as black basil, lemon basil and fresh tarragon. A great salad for lunch time with some bread or another salad dish, or you could serve it as an accompaniment to a main dish at dinner time. …
