Traditional Scottish Stovies

Sat, 4 Apr 2026 22:08:56 GMT

There are times - like when the temperature drops to below 8C with a wind chill factor making it seem like 5C- that comfort food is what's called for and, in my mind, the stodgier the better. Enter Scottish Stovies, a dish invented by the frugal Scots to use up all the leftovers from the Sunday roast. Chunks of left-over meat are cooked up in a pan with onions, chunks of potato and stock to make this heavenly warm-you-from-the-insides meal loved by the whole nation. Traditionally the potatoes are peeled, but I've kept the skin on because that's where you'll get more of the fibre and nutrients.

Mango, lime and toasted sesame filo cups

Sat, 4 Apr 2026 22:08:56 GMT

These are fun, yum and relatively low in energy. I tested them for the first time with a bunch of friends over for dinner and the general consensus was a big thumbs up. I also tested my blood sugar levels after eating them and they stayed well within a health range. ( note - everyone's blood glucose response is different ) The recipe makes 12 ( 2 per serve) I served them with the choice of coconut yoghurt or coconut ice-cream.

This is a real favourite and incredibly easy to make. Don't be put off by the filo pastry. The real trick is allow it to reach room temperature and work fast. I use a pastry brush to brush the sheets lightly with oil. Thanks to Costa Georgiadis for passing this recipe of him mother's on.

Leek and Celery soup with crunchy croutons

Sat, 4 Apr 2026 22:08:56 GMT

Simple, cheap, and tasty. The croutons turn it from being slightly boring unless it's served with something on the side. And they are especially good to make when the bread is turning a bit stale.
