MEATLOAF
Now that I’ve been living in the US for over a decade, I’ve lost count of the incredibly delicious meatloaves that I’ve tasted over the years. As it’s such a classic and staple dish here and as it’s the perfect solution for when you’re catering for large numbers, I...
BUFFALO CHICKEN STRIPS
If you have ever been to the United States then I bet you have had Buffalo wings. They are often served as starters or bar food and, more often than not, they’re deep-fried and served with blue cheese dip – delicious, but perhaps not one of the healthiest foods out...
TUNA TATAKI

AVOCADO MAYO
Commercial mayonnaise is often full of preservatives and offers you very little in terms of nutrition. However, this homemade version using mild-flavoured avocado oil is the opposite. It tastes just like traditional mayo but is incredibly healthy and delicious. 918...
TRUFFLE OIL AVOCADO
This is so simple and yet so tasty, I could eat copious amounts of it all day long (it goes perfectly with either grilled steak or chicken). It also feels like a real indulgence so it’s great when you need a treat but don’t want to fall off the wagon too hard or too...
