Savoury Cheese Custard for all Seasons
If a sauce can be ‘quiet luxury’, this is definitely it. Kept low and slow on the hob, cream, egg yolks and cheese are coaxed together into a silky emulsion. Choose your cheese according to mood and frankly, this is my MO for most things. Spoon it over whatever vegetables the season is currently offering.
Cheesy Bean Dip
This warm dip could be called a deconstructed nacho dip. Just like nachos, this recipe is a template for you to adjust as suits your preferences. Don’t have any black beans? Sub in whatever tinned beans you have in the pantry. Can’t be bothered adding in extra veg? No problemo. Need your daily dose of garlic and herbs? Load ‘er up!
Polpette & Mozzarella Bake
I love using sausages as a sure fire flavour shortcut. Depending on how well seasoned the sausages are you may need to add extra flavour enhancers such as your favourite herbs. Ideally, your sausages are that good you don’t need to add anything.
Hot Honey Halloumi Sweet Potato
Recently, I spotted fried halloumi crumbs on social media and honestly, I’m always open to new ways of sneaking more cheese into my meals. Toss them through a bright salad, stir into a veggie soup, or just snack on them like popcorn.

Cheesy Mushroom Risotto
Cheesy, vegetarian and gluten-free – what more can you ask for? When I feel like creating magic, this is perfect. Honest, down to earth ingredients become something ethereal before your very eyes.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I reckon this pizza pie is a beautiful thing. That’s amore.
