Season 1

In the Kitchen - Veggie Satay

A fairly simple Asian dish comprising of onions, carrots, mushrooms and dried soya chunks, all mixed with a store bought satay sauce. Ramen noodles finish off the dish.

In the Kitchen - Tabbouleh

Such a quick and easy salad to make. Tabbouleh just tastes so good, it must be healthy.

In the Garden - Storing Garlic

Join me in the polytunnel while I prepare the garlic bulbs for long term storage and for using in the kitchen.

In the Kitchen - No-prep dhal

The easiest dish to make with no prep at all. Just throw everything into a pot bring to the boil and simmer. So easy!

In the Kitchen - Chimichurri

Join me while I make a lovely, healthy parsley chimichurri. This versatile mix can be used in a variety of ways, from marinade to sandwich filler or to use as a dip. It is so tasty. And because it derives from South America it needs to pack a little heat! This basic version is made with fresh parsley, oregano, garlic, chili, olive oil & white wine vinegar. (If possible to be made with all fresh ingredients, unfortunately today I had to use dried oregano). It is, however, one of those dishes which can be added to and altered to your taste or with whatever you have in the kitchen. A red version is made by adding roasted red peppers which gives it a sweeter flavour.

Health & Diet Updates

In the Kitchen - Cupboard Curry
