Baked Sweet Potato and Mum's Garden Tomato SaladMiserable rainy days scream out for hot comforting food, so I tripled up with a buttered vermillion sweet potato filled with equally soothing lamb chilli topped with melted mature cheddar, with a little bite from green olives. A little reminder of summer came from a simple mixed tomato salad (the last of them from my mum's garden) with beetroot.

Nigel Slater's Spiced Lamb and Pomegranate
This is a fave of mine, easy and all about having some key ingredients. Pomegranates for  sweet freshness, salty green olives to cut through the fatty lamb mince and cooling natural yogurt (chopped mint through for extra zing!) For the lamb just cook off onion slices, mushroom chunks then deseeded chili in a frying pan and add the lamb, to the highest heat possible so it crispens up.Works best on thinner bread types, pitta would work well, I used a plank size of Turkish bread that is dead cheap from my local international supermarket, left in the oven to also crispen up (wrapped in cling film it keeps crisp till the next day.)

Sweet Chilli Prawn Rice Wraps
I feel I have written about something on a similar vein before, but it is a fail safe staple: chopped crunchy veg (carrots, cucumber, peppers or radishes,) a protein, rice noodles (angel hair or vermicelli easily cooked in hot water for 5 minutes,) refreshing herbs like coriander or mint leaves, sweet chilli sauce all encased in rice paper wraps. I urge you to visit your local Chinese supermarket and try it too!

Fragrant Coconut Chicken Curry with Spicy Lentils
Back to the faithful freezer stores of a chicken curry with cardamom and clove undertones, mellowed with coconut sauce and to another trusty tupperware for the fiery tomato based lentils. Served with wild rice, natural yoghurt and toasted coconut flakes.

Mini Smörgåsbord
Thanks to Ikea's easy make rye bread I had lots left over and thought a Scando influenced lunch was in order. Consisting of smoked salmon, grated carrot, peppered shredded beetroot, pickled fennel and dilly yoghurt to top the rye bread chunks, squeeze of lemon and hey presto, Smörgåsbord at my desk!
