My last post referred to my recent holiday and the inspiration it provided. The vegetarian and vegan food sampled during my whistle-stop tour of Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius was delicious, particularly in Tallin which is, quite simply, vegan paradise! I promptly resolved to make more use of some key ingredients that I tend to forget … Continue reading Moroccan Spiced Tomato and Chickpea Soup
My apologies for the lack of contact over the last few weeks! My insistence on a decent summer holiday resulted in a slight social media break. Although this created a bit of soupy silence, I have returned with some great new soup ideas and will be sharing the resulting recipes with you soon.

This soup definitely deserves an exclamation mark. It is just so good! It is a lifelong favourite and I find myself longing for a bowl as soon as the weather heats up. This is a chilled soup.

It also freezes well and I tend to have a few portions in my freezer 'just in case'. Tasty, easy, quick … Continue reading Leek and Potato Soup
I thought I'd give the weather a bit of a nudge this week. If I make a spring soup, our wintry weather is bound to go - isn't it? Well, we'll see. I fancied a lighter soup with a good range of fresh veg, so opted for a spring vegetable minestrone. Most recipes for this … Continue reading Spring Vegetable Minestrone
This tasty recipe came to my attention in quite a roundabout way, not that that’s a bad thing.
