I much prefer staying in and cooking a nice meal together on Valentine’s day as restaurants tend to be overcrowded both with people and red table decorations. Why not surprise your loved one with something for the kitchen for some cooking inspiration for your romantic night in?
Here’s another round of found recipes featuring some of my favourite food blogs and a selection of dishes that took my fancy this week. I want garlic butter sweet potatoes and peppermint ice cream affogato right now. Please.
It’s Monday, it’s cold, it’s snowing and I’m feeling a little bit under the weather. That’s when I appreciate having this, pure comfort, pasta dish up my sleeve which has actually become one of my signature recipes. Requests often come in from both my boyfriend and various friends to cook them big bowls of it and there is unfortunately never any leftovers. Perfect for me as it doesn’t take more than 15-20 mins to throw together and it’s super easy. Win, win! Find the recipe on the right.
Here is the second edition of what will hopefully be a weekly ‘Found Recipes’ series with some great cooking inspiration. Again, all the blogs are lovely and worth exploring for more mouthwatering recipes and images.
I was given a spiralizer for Christmas so was very excited trying it out this evening by making zucchini / courgette spaghetti which came out great. It really is the perfect low carb, gluten free substitute for pasta and it honestly tastes just as good as the real thing with the right sauce and toppings. I steamed it lightly, tossed it in kale pesto and topped it with roasted baby plum tomatoes, roasted garlic, pine nuts and parmesan cheese - YUM! You can find the recipe on the right.
This grey cold winter weather is making me crave some colour in my life. Here are some vividly purple products that will liven up your kitchen.
