pad thai with a difference.

a delicious mix of juicy king prawns, a squeeze of lime, a crunch of nuts and a handful of sweet coriander...  flavours which make up the unmistakable elements of a prawn pad thai. however in this version, i've replaced the noodles with faux courgette noodles made in minutes with my julienne peeler. that's right, it's not just spaghetti you can replace with this cheeky little gadget.

smoked wood pigeon salad.

with all the hot weather we're having (well a bit hit and miss this last week) i've been trying to think of recipes which are quite light but still satisfy my appetite. this hasn't always been successful as i love a hearty evening meal and have lately been eating things like fragrant but healthy curries and seafood pasta dishes. 

when i had my field&flower produce delivery, for which i'll be writing a round up post on soon, i decided to be a bit daring and try out cooking with wood pigeon. a mix of the deep but smokey game flavours, salty lardons, bitter walnuts and fresh salad i actually felt full up. this is one of my most adventurous recipes to date so i hope you enjoy!
