Simple Pizza Recipe 

You have had a busy day and if you are anything like me then you don't want to spend ages slaving away in the kitchen preparing something delicious.

If you are looking for a simple, healthy, yet quick recipe then this is the one to go for. A wonderful fresh and sweet pizza which is; lets put it my way 'overwhelmingly scrumptious' you will be wanting to make more for sure !

Tomato and Rocket Pizza with olive tapenade 

100g Sweet Vine Tomatoes, halved

1 Pizza Base

2-3 tbsp Olive and Sun-dried Tomato Tapenade

1/2 small red onion, finely sliced

125g mozzarella, torn into pieces

1 tbsp olive oil

Handful of wild rocket

Shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano, to serve

Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle

First preheat the oven to 170c, gas mark 3. Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and cook until softened and starting to dry, but not browned (about 20 minutes).

After having taken the tomatoes out of the oven increase the temperature to 220c, gas mark 7. Place the pizza base onto a baking sheet and spread the tapenade over the base leaving a border around the edge, then add the tomatoes, onion and mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil.

Bake for roughly 8-10 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling and the base is crisp. Serve scattered with the parmigiano reggiano and rocket, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.

I would suggest that you serve the pizza with a goats cheese and sun-dried tomato salad with honey dressing to add to the pizza's sweetness oh and don't forget a dashing of sea salt. This really worked for me in fact I am seriously craving more right now.

Full credit goes to Waitrose for another amazing recipe.

One of the things that I am passionate about is ...


baking. I love to bake and cook and once I get started there is just no stopping me ! I feel so passionate about making sure that the food that goes on to my plate not only looks appetising and pleasing to the eye, but that it has been made with love. My belief is that if you feel good about the food and give it as much attention as you would a relationship with a loved one then that food is an immediate cure for all ills. I love to eat fresh and organic food. I don't think that there is anything worse than processed rubbish that tastes like; well to be blunt a pile of crap.


Food should make your heart flutter and dance with joy. Importantly the dishes should not only be arousing but a pleasure to the eye. There are so many great recipes out there and I have pinned so many on my pinterest board food and drink to try that it is getting a little impossible to find the time to make them all ! 


I mean when I saw these pictures on blogs on couldn't help but smile and wish that somehow with a click of the fingers or a twitch of my nose these dishes would magically appear right in front of me for moi and myself only to enjoy !

To me they are light and airy foods enough to please the appetite whilst keeping you from feeling like a pig ! I don't really like to eat foods that make you think of slobbing around; here I am talking about curry and beer and other foods like pizza from a well known fast food chain, it just isn't me, but neither do I like too fancy a food. Don't get me wrong I like indian food and pizza but rather than order a take out I would much prefer to make it at home so that I know exactly what is going into my food. I am sure that a lot of you would agree with me on that matter.

Well I will leave it at that for now. I am going to try the coconut panna cotta tomorrow as it is setting in the fridge right this second. I am hoping it is a winner !
