Blueberry and Mixed Nut Salad


 A pretty straightforward fruit and nut salad, and highly nutrititious. Blueberries from the fridge, plus a nut selection from the supermarket. Soused in single cream, and dressed in cinnamon. Delicious!

Pasta Salad, with grated carrot and diced red onion


 Delicious, but there is not much to this one. Wheat free pasta cooked in salted water for about twelve minutes, and then dusted with powdered paprika. Served with a grated carrot, and about one third of a red onion diced. Dress in a little freshly ground black pepper.

Beef Chilli with Butternut Squash and Leek


A hot beef chilli, simmered for two hours on the hob. Completely delicious! But I have to say that the amount of effort involved in preparing the butternut squash was out of all proportion to its contribution to the flavour of the dish. It may be a nutritious vegetable, but it has no particular taste of its own. I will be giving it a miss in future.

Wheat Free Chorizo!


Unbelievable find in the local Co-op. Gluten and Lactose free Chorizo! Tastes just the same. Excellent! So this is a wheat-free and lactose free tapas snack, lurking on a bottom shelf. Served with some diced leek and chopped green beans. Delicious!

Mixed Olives and Feta Cheese


 The local co-op supplies lots of varieties of cheese, but not Feta. But they do supply olive and feta salads, which is the basis of this delicious meal. Added to a baby leaf salad mix of four different colours of lettuce, button mushrooms, and halved baby plum tomatoes. Dressed in freshly ground black pepper.
