Root Vegetable Rostis Great for using up root vegetables and a healthy(ish) treat for brunch.

Parsnip and Leek Risotto Running with the idea of cooking parsnips in long thin strips with or without bacon like this recipe, I came up with this risotto, utilising some leeks lurking in the fridge. I’m not normally a fan of risotto, but this was perfect, rich and comforting. I tried to use as much parsnip and leek as […]

Bacon and Parsnip Pasta I’ve been thinking of using parsnip with pasta for a while, but just hadn’t come up with the right way of doing it, then I came across this Jamie Oliver recipe and I earmarked it for the weekend.

I added chickpeas because I love them and […]

You can’t really go wrong topping this pine nuts and coriander, they really counteract the sweetness of the tagine, plus I love pine nuts…Anything you can eat with bulghar wheat yoghurt is always a winner for me […]
