Mediterranean

Mediterranean diet, anyone? Don’t mind if I do!

For a delicious, healthy taste of the Mediterranean that works with almost any meal, make this Greek lemon rice with chickpeas, these Mediterranean roast vegetables, truly INCREDIBLE Greek potatoes, or a traditional Greek salad.

My favourite Mediterranean meals for easy midweek meals or easy entertaining include this amazing Greek chicken and potatoes, this very easy pan-fried gnocchi with cherry tomato sauce, or this 20-minute lemony Mediterranean tuna pasta.

For a virtual culinary trip to Spain, these 3 get my vote: this incredibly simple but delicious Spanish bruschetta followed by the best Spanish omelette and a super easy and dramatic San Sebastian cheesecake. Mmm!

Lamb on the menu? You’ll love this list of 50 easy sides for lamb (many are Mediterranean style!).

I love anything ‘Mediterranean’, so have a browse through the recipes below – I’m sure you’ll find a recipe you love too!
