Roasted red pepper and goats cheese pizza

Published on by Teresa Ulyate2 Comments

 

Hi foodies! I’m back in the kitchen after a fabulous few weeks in the U.K. and Ireland. The family and I packed so much into our time there including lots of sightseeing (i.e. walking, walking and more walking) and time spent catching up with family. In terms of eating out the rand-pound exchange rate is eye-watering at the moment, so home cooked meals were the order of the day, with only a handful of restaurant meals in-between. That was just fine with me. I love a good old nosy around the supermarket shelves over there as there are always new and interesting products to discover and delicacies such as McVities Jaffa Cakes and Tony’s Chocolonelys to stock up on (if you know, you know).

One pot beef chilli

Published on by Teresa Ulyate4 Comments

 

This basic beef chilli recipe is so satisfying and will warm you up from the inside out on cold winter evenings. We love a good old spag bol at home, and beef chilli is a bit like spag bol’s spicy cousin. With beans. Pop the pot onto the table along with your side dishes, and let everyone help themselves and build their own meal. This is one recipe where I know I’m guaranteed to see clean plates at the end of dinner time!

This bright and wholesome bowl is a lunch I’ve been enjoying on repeat lately. It’s also great for picnics. Ever popular quinoa is very versatile, and in this bowl I’ve topped it with spiced chickpeas, crunchy carrots, tomatoes, crumbly feta and a nutty tahini dressing. It’s an incredibly satisfying meal and a nutritious way to elevate your salad game.

Smokey pulled pork buns

This recipe is from a recent campaign I worked on, and I simply had to share it with you – it’s that good. The oven does most of the work here, and although the cooking time is a few hours the actual hands on prep time is minimal. The cooking time is worth it, you’ll be rewarded with tender pork that just falls apart. These smokey pulled pork buns are the business!

It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve been drowning in admin and feeling like I’m being pulled in ten different directions all the time – it’s been hectic! The busy year end season has definitely started and now more than ever I need recipes that I can get on the table fast. Did I mention that they need to deliver on flavour too? A quick pesto pasta is definitely a great option for those crazy days (plus pasta = comfort food = happiness).

Easy miso and ginger chicken

Published on by Teresa UlyateLeave a comment

 

Hi foodie friends. Anyone else feeling slightly panicked at how quickly this month is going?  The kids have just started their final term of school for the year, and it’s always jam packed so I’m bracing myself for that. Between school, recipe testing and book writing, house guests and two family birthdays (and I haven’t even thought about Halloween) there is a LOT going on right now, and I’m leaning on my repertoire of easy week night suppers more than ever to keep the troops fed and happy.
