All-the-veg mac and cheese

This was my staple dish at uni, I like to think it's healthy because there are lots of vegetables in it but it's also covered in cheese, so win-win!

With regards to the vegetables, it's really up to you. The challenge is to get as much veg as possible in it. If you add enough frozen spinach to the cheese sauce it turns green which looks pretty funky.

Unlike my previous recipe, this one requires 3 pans and results in a lot of washing up, but it's worth it.

Farro, kale and goats' cheese salad

This was a bit of a leap of faith for me, recipe-wise. My parents have a Waitrose calendar hanging in their bedroom and the photograph for April was of this salad. None of us knew what farro dicocco was (it turns out to be an Italian spelt readily available in Waitrose and I presume most supermarkets), but this was such a success! It was really delicious and there's even enough left over for my lunch tomorrow.

Cheese and parsley scones

Having spent years preferring sweet to savoury, recently both Bella and I have developed stronger cravings for the latter. As a result I made these delicious cheese scones. They are probably not the best if you're trying to be healthy because they contain approximately a block of cheese, but they are really good.

Pro tip: use the strongest cheddar cheese you can afford, it makes the taste so much better.

Sweet potato veggie sausage rolls

Part 2 of the veggie sausage roll-off. This is a recipe I created myself as it's so difficult to find a good veggie sausage roll recipe. It's mostly simple ingredients and you don't have to make any pastry. I make these every Christmas for when family come round, however they work well all year round and are really good for packed lunches.
