I needed something quick and easy for dinner. My husband said he wanted a jacket potato. So, I decided to make my own baked beans. This is a one pot wonder and store cupboard staple. You can use any types of pulses that you’ve got the in cupboard. I used canelinni and chickpeas.

Love cooking food that I can share with friends. Never happier than when I’ve got people over for dinner enjoying great food (and great wine of course). I’m a big fan of seasonal ingredients and coming up with quick and fresh ideas for during the busy working week.
