I have to admit I love this dish.  It has everything you want for a meal - crispiness, spice, bite, freshness and flavour all in one.
The use of rocket, a clean extra virgin olive oil and ricotta tricks you into thinking it’s light and you can have it in Summer, but the chilli brings that [...]

Who wants a boring salad every day for lunch? Certainly not me!
Having Good Friday off and with a little time up my sleeve, I pondered into my stocks and grabbed a can of chickpeas. I thought a nice burger would be great and not impact the calories too much, as the ingredients together [...]

Following from the chickpea batter mushrooms, it gave me the idea for this warmed tempeh salad. Tempeh is quite a unique flavour which is made a little spicy with the chickpea batter. It’s quite a flavourful dish that also as a bonus, is vegan!
The tempeh battered up could easily be eaten on [...]

Sick of boring salads? Using some warmed ingredients mixed with lettuce and olives this simple salad can also be quite extravagant for a quick brunch with guests.
It uses one of my favourite ingredients, haloumi, a salty cheese that’s great for grilling with some lemon or in a burger with a bit of chilli sauce.  It’s [...]

Peanuts! Now usually something with peanuts, would be high in calories!  At only 271 calories, this recipe is quite low in calories but doesn’t lack in flavour!  It’s a great salad to have vegetables you don’t normally get to eat at lunch!  Well worth the effort!
If you cook this the day before, seperate the warm [...]

This warmed salad of vegetarian hotdogs and legumes is cooked without oil! How? I soaked these items in a small pan with red wine vinegar and slowly cooked on a low heat. The vinegar reduces down and the hotdogs and legumes are screaming with flavour!
After making this dish though, I’d recommend using the [...]

The last month or so I’ve been bringing in salads to work, rather than soups - because of the heat. For my lunches, I do try to stick between 200-250 calories to ensure I can have a big dinner to stop me getting cravings and eating a dessert afterwards. To keep the calories [...]

I made this up from craving bruschetta but also wanting pasta…first I thought spaghetti would be great with this but then realised curly pasta would go well because of being able to hold the juice…any curly pasta would do.
Also, you can eat this cold or hot. I ate it cold and it was delicious…great [...]
