The Best Lemon and Herb Roast Chicken and The Winner of The Philips Airfryer XXL

A few weeks ago I was given a Philips Airfryer XXL to try out and I have to say it exceeded my expectations. I've made some seriously delicious meals and found it to be fantastic when cooking for 1-4 people.

One Dish Dinner: Chicken, Fennel and Cannellini Beans

Who doesn't love a one-dish wonder?

Chocolate Chip Shortbread Biscuits

Butter, sugar, flour, chocolate - that's it. 

The Best Chicken Soup

Yes, I add wine to my chicken soup, I add wine and butter to most things, and I assure you it makes them taste better. To make my stock I use chicken carcasses and bones, boiled in water with 1 Tbsp of stock concentrate for added flavour...This recipe is my go-to winter warmer - enjoy!

Butternut and Beetroot Tart with a Feta and Nut Cream

Valentines Day is fast approaching and with that a world of disappointment for the thousands that forgot, didn't getting a reservation, or just didn't plan it right. Restaurants will be packed to the rafters so why no spoil your someone special with a beautiful dinner at home? Get a good bottle of wine (a slightly wooded chenin or chardonnay would go down a treat with this), a big bunch of flowers and you're golden!

This is my final phyllo recipe in conjunction with Mediterranean Delicacies for their #PhabPhyllo campaign. And I think this final recipe might be my favourite: the combination of the feta, cream and nuts is deliciously rich and pairs beautifully with the sweet butternut, slightly tart beetroot and crispy phyllo. If you can't fathom eating strictly vegetarian then pair this with some lemon and herb chicken breasts...I'm sure you could get creative and shape those into heart too ;) 

Chicken Breasts in Parma Ham with Courgette Spaghetti

 

An easy midweek meal that's carb-free and delicious - Yes please :)

Mushroom, Asparagus and Feta Parcels

My latest #PhabPhyllo recipe in conjunction with Mediterranean Delicacies is all about veggies: these little parcels are simple and delicious. They also make for great lunch box fillers. You can substitute the asparagus for tenderstem broccoli if it's not in season. Happy #MeatFreeMonday

Sweetcorn, Coriander and Spring Onion Fritters

Breakfast for 4 done. It's vegetarian, but will go down a treat with some crispy streaky bacon ;)

Nectarine, Tomato and Mozzarella Salad

Happy New Year! Healthy needn't be boring and salads needn't include lettuce. This is a tweak to the traditional caprese with nectarines, avo and pumpkin seeds - the seeds give it great texture and you can use any seeds you like...or, if you're feeling flush, throw some toasted pine nuts on there.
