I love this time of year, as spring shifts into summer – when the days stretch a little longer, the air feels lighter and we start craving meals that bridge the gap between cosy and fresh. This rustic galette is just that, a beautiful change-of-season dish that celebrates summer’s arrival while keeping the comfort of flaky pastry and roasted vegetables. It’s simple yet elegant, making it perfect for a relaxed lunch in the sun or an easy dinner al fresco.

When it comes to comfort food, the warm aroma and sweet taste of stewed apple with cinnamon are among the best, and I’ve made that the star of this easy, no-fuss dessert. This rustic galette offers all the cosy flavours of an apple pie without the hassle. The pastry comes together in a food processor in a matter of minutes, and best of all, you don’t even need a pie dish!

There’s something irresistible about biting into a perfectly crisp, golden samoosa, and today, I’m sharing my recipe for these delicious veggie samoosas.

Samoosas are wildly popular, and whether you’re hosting a crowd for nibbles and drinks or simply craving a comforting snack, this is one recipe you’ll want to try!

Phyllo chicken pie

 

When I made this pie for the first time a few weeks ago the family really enjoyed it. We love chicken pie, and it’s been a while since I made something with phyllo pastry (I happened to have some in the freezer that needed to be used) so I put the two together in this very easy recipe – yummo!

Baby marrow, sundried tomato and chevin tart

Life feels like a bit of a blur at the moment. I am sure many of you can relate – from the moment I open my eyes in the morning to the minute I collapse into bed each evening I am on the go, moving from one pressing task to the next. Sometimes you just really need to stop and smell the pastry.. err, I mean roses. Weekends are a good time for this when things are (sometimes) a little less frantic and rushed, and there is a bit more time for some leisurely cooking.
