We love trying new dishes, and this is one of more recent finds. Adobo is a popular Filipino dish, with a very distinctive savoury and sweet flavour, with rich spicy undertones from black pepper. Yet for it’s richness, it has the feel of a light and summery dish. You really have to try it!
As the weather starts to brighten, even if we’re not quite there yet, those tantalising glimpses of summer alongside the easing of restrictions have got us thinking about great summer dishes for sharing with friends and family. Lamb koftas are a Middle Eastern classic. Super quick and easy to make, full of fresh flavours, and …
Really quick to prepare, this take on a South Asian classic is a fantastic dish for midweek, as you can just throw it in the oven to cook itself. Rich and smokey from the paprika and chorizo, the lemon beautifully balances this dish, meaning that this will soon become a family favourite. And it’s incredibly …
The dish that we know of as Spaghetti Bolognese is as British as it is Italian, bearing little resemblance to the Ragu Alla Bolognese that is usually served with tagliatelle or used to prepare lasagna.

Alla cacciatora refers to a meal prepared ‘hunter-style’, and that’s exactly the sentiment that this dish kindles. Onions, garlic, herbs, tomatoes and white wine. It’s all there, but surprisingly light in touch and low in calories. The addition of the olives adds a depth of flavour that makes this idea for cold winter evenings.
There are so many reasons to love a good burger, especially when it’s one you’ve made yourself and you can be confident of the quality of ingredients. No matter how bad the day, no matter what’s going on in the outside world, we think that there are very few problems that can’t be fixed by …
Another all time classic, doesn’t everyone love the Chicken Kiev? The dish itself has disputed origins, although most consider it to be Eastern European, hence the Kiev moniker. In the classic French, Supreme de Volaille a la Kiev, it’s clear that this is a stuffed chicken breast dish… but what if it wasn’t? This version …
