Creamy spiced hummus

Jan 29, 2025

A tasty take on the classic Mediterranean dip, infused with a mix of aromatic spices that enhance its creamy texture and rich flavour. This spiced hummus pairs beautifully with crunchy veggie sticks, seedy crackers, or a slice of sourdough toast. Quick and simple to prepare, it also keeps well in the fridge for up to a week!

Spiced steak with a mango salsa

An ideal summer meal, bursting with flavour and packed with nutrients! Simple to prepare and wonderfully satisfying.

Mini Veggie Frittatas

This is a great little snack idea and so easy to make! You can mix up the filling ingredients and add whatever veggies (and meat) you may have in the fridge. Great for a snack on the go, or addition to the lunchbox.
