There’s something irresistible about biting into a perfectly crisp, golden samoosa, and today, I’m sharing my recipe for these delicious veggie samoosas. The filling is a flavourful mix of butternut, rosemary, feta, and peas, brought to life with warming spices. On the side, I’ve prepared a minty yogurt dipping sauce that complements the samoosas beautifully. 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!

My kids are loving these berry yoghurt popsicles at the moment. We’re still enjoying lots of hot summer weather and these frozen pops make a delicious and refreshing snack. Homemade snacks are always a winner because you can control exactly what goes into them, and often homemade is just tastier than store-bought.

Herby chickpeas with yoghurt

Published on March 3, 2022March 3, 2022 by Teresa Ulyate5 Comments

I absolutely love chickpeas and trying new ways of serving them. Usually I go for the tinned variety as that is the most convenient option, but lately I’ve been buying dried chickpeas, cooking them in large batches and freezing them to use for hummus and dishes like this one. It’s not too much of a faff if you do a big batch each time, and works out to be more cost effective. Chickpeas have a rather earthy flavour with a touch of nuttiness, and I love cooking them with lots of spices, particularly cumin and chilli. These spicy and herby chickpeas can be served as a simple side dish or lunch alongside a salad.

Yotam Ottolenghi’s “Plenty” contains a wealth of vegetarian recipes and is a fantastic resource not only for vegetarians but for those wanting to include more veggies in their diets. Stuffed inside my copy of the book is a piece of paper on which I’ve scrawled the names of the recipes I want to try out first… needless to say the list is rather long! These delicious leek fritters are from the “Funny Onions” chapter.

Spiced chicken salad bowl

Published on February 6, 2019February 6, 2019 by Teresa Ulyate6 Comments

I like to think that over the years I have gotten into some really good eating habits. Like breakfast – I always try to start the day off right with something wholesome and filling. Likewise in the evening I look forward to making a healthy home cooked meal to enjoy after the long day. But when it comes to lunch, well, that is when the wheels fall off. In between the afternoon school run, extra murals and the never ending daily to do list my lunch often takes a back seat. Last year I got into a bad habit of snacking on the go during the day, but of course the snacks never filled me up and I was always tempted to reach for something sugary in the late afternoon when I was feeling low on energy. Not ideal. This is where salad bowls, like the recipe I am sharing today, have been a lifesaver!
