Your weekend feast: 9 February 2018

The first week of February is done and dusted. Are you ready for Pancake Day on Tuesday and Valentine’s Day on Wednesday? If you’re planning to eat out, book your table before it’s too late! Here are a few great places offering special menus for V-Day!

What do your weekend mornings look like? We recommend you brew a pot of coffee or tea and simply enjoy the small pleasures of life like a homemade rusk. This recipe is flecked with homemade muesli – so you’re scoring on health points!

Not eating meat? Or have friends who are vegan? Impress them with this take on a good old hotdog! Instead of a traditional sausage, you’re going to re-construct it by roasting a nutritious carrot. Try it. You won’t be disappointed.

Asparagus and Parma ham salad with fig vinaigrette just screams, Summer doesn’t it?! A light but extremely delicious meal.

Now this recipe is a winner! Cheese and herb rolls are the ultimate weekend carb bombs. Stuff them with loads of salted butter ad extra cheese.

No time to slave over the stove? Throw together a hearty chicken casserole loaded with gorgeous healthy veggies and chickpeas. We recommend you add some chilli to add a kick but you can totally leave that out if you don’t do spicy food.

Are you ready for dessert? Because this one’s a stunner. A strawberry and pistachio tart (adapted from the wonderful Ottolenghi), calls for macerated strawbs layered on a pillow of smooth vanilla pastry cream. The ultimate Summer pudding.
