A quick, easy and tasty midweek supper, utilising the last of this seasons purple sprouting broccoli.

A frugal and healthy Lentil, Bean and Bacon Stew made with green lentils, bacon lardons and mixed beans.

This tomato, bacon and feta bake is my perfect Friday night supper served with a nice crusty baguette. You could try substituting the feta with another cheese - perhaps mozzarella, but I  personally love the salty richness that feta brings to a dish.  For a vegetarian alternative just omit the bacon.

I've eaten a lot of Thai Green Curry's in my time. A LOT, but they have always been very hit and miss and never quite lived up to expectation. The last occasion I ate a Thai green curry (only a month or so ago) it was a very definite miss! Bland and watery are the words that come to mind. I really wanted it to redeem itself so when I was offered the chance to try Thai Taste Green Curry Paste, in preparation for Thai New Year in April, I jumped at the chance.  Luckily for me it was good! The paste had a really good depth of flavour, was well seasoned with a nice spicy kick. The curry only took 20 minutes to prepare , making it a perfect midweek meal . Thai Taste produce many other authentic Thai products and I will be seeking these out at the supermarket next time I visit. A very definite thumbs up from me!

A warming one pot supper to enjoy before the longer, lighter and (hopefully) warmer days herald the return to salads and BBQ foods. Serve with some crusty bread, or rice if you prefer.

This mixed bean and feta salad makes a fantastic, filling and tasty lunch to take into the office or eat on the hop. Make up a big batch like this and it will keep you going for at least 3 or 4 days.
