I absolutely can’t control myself when cinnamon sugar is involved so naturally these puff pastry cinnamon rolls never last very long in our house. They are adapted from my quick and easy cinnamon scrolls recipe, but instead of using yoghurt dough I use frozen puff pastry. These mini cinnamon swirls come together very quickly and can be baked in either the oven or the air fryer. You can serve them as is, or with the optional (but irresistible) vanilla glaze drizzled on top....

This salad was a total fluke. I became obsessed with putting roast pumpkin in salads after creating my Pumpkin, Haloumi & Avocado Salad, but wanted to branch out and try some new flavours. I also had an unopened pack of quinoa that I’d been promising myself I’d experiment with and some unused feta cheese from my Greek Salad so I thought I’d try my hand at mixing them all together....

This Roasted Cauliflower Soup is a spin off of my Cauliflower and Bacon Soup. The truth is, I almost always have a head or two of cauliflower wilting away at the back of the fridge. But I rarely have bacon. Thus, the Roasted Cauliflower Soup was born. Cauliflower on its own is a bit meh, but roasting it brings out a lovely caramelisation and this adds more depth of flavour....

Let’s face it, there’s nothing better than bread. Warm, soft, delicious bread! Even better if it’s homemade. Don’t even start with the whole anti-carbs speech towards me, ’cause I won’t listen!

Among my favorite kinds of bread is the focaccia, which is a flat oven-baked bread very popular in Italy....

(This post is sponsored by Pomì.) The last few weeks has been a little chaotic. I don’t know if it’s the holiday season or the fact that I’ve been a little under the weather and not feeling like doing much, let alone cook… Tim, being the supportive husband that he is, keeps saying it’s okay. That it’s the holiday season and it’s not a big deal if we spend all our money on take out food!...

As you all know, I’m no vegetarian – just look at the last 3 posts on my blog – but I do like to cook vegetarian meals and I’m a huge grain fan. I seriously can’t wait to expand my use of spelt in things other than salad. I’ve read it is great in meatballs (where its starchiness works as a binder), risottos, porridges and pilaf! And as for using beans in salads, that is a recent trend for me....
