Bean keeping it simple šŸ«˜šŸ‘Œ The pleasure here is in Bean keeping it simple šŸ«˜šŸ‘Œ

The pleasure here is in the texture: the beans softening at the edges, the orzo giving body without heaviness, the pesto lingering just long enough to send you back in. Before long there are quiet slurps, a scrape of spoon against bowl, and that unmistakable moment when someone gets up for just a "little more"

Swipe through for the full step-by-step, from building that golden onion base to toasting warm spices, browning chicken, and simmering everything down into the thickest, cosiest keema. The secret? Creamy beans + gentle spice = maximum comfort with minimum effort.

It’s hearty without being heavy, perfect with rice or naan, and somehow tastes even better the next day 

(I'm honestly not judging if you want this for breakfast next day... I did.... 🌚🌚)

January taught me something about how I like to ea January taught me something about how I like to eat. Less defaulting to meat and more attention to vegetables.

Cooking meat-free for the month wasn’t a rule, just a choice — one that led me towards fish, vegetables, beans, eggs, and a lot more curiosity in the kitchen 🄬🐟 I didn’t miss it the way I thought I would.

February feels like the moment appetite settles back in properly. Food that satisfies, without explanation, I’m looking forward to seeing what the seasons bounty will bring for February šŸ¤ŽšŸ’š

Worth the Catch šŸŸšŸ‹ This salad doesn’t insist on b Worth the Catch šŸŸšŸ‹

This salad doesn’t insist on being eaten immediately, although of course I would never judge if you did. Just warm, it’s generous. Left to cool, the flavours just get better! 

And the next day, straight from the fridge, it becomes firmer, brighter and somehow even more delicious. The feta softens, the courgettes stay sweet, and the salmon flakes obligingly into the orzo without turning the whole thing into mush.

There’s lemon, tons of herbs and enough olive oil to keep the grains glossy rather than claggy. I like it for lunch, though I’ve been known to take a fork to it at breakfast with no regret at all.

Lovely to make, lovelier to return to!
