Italian-Style Courgette and Basil Soup

Italian-Style Courgette & Basil Soup

August 7, 2017 by Elizabeth Atia

and a Sunday walk around the southern tip of West Burra, Shetland. What a beautiful summer we’ve been having! This summer has honestly been one of the best summer’s weather-wise, we’ve had in a very long time. The BBC news reported recently that it’s been sunnier up here in Shetland than it has in Cornwall, …

Broccoli and Watercress Soup with Grana Padano and Prosciutto di San Daniele Tartines

Broccoli & Watercress Soup with Grana Padano and Prosciutto di San Daniele Tartines

May 7, 2017 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with Grana Padano and Prosciutto di San Daniele. It’s that time of year where the days are lengthening and brightening, but there’s still that cool Spring breeze and occasional snow shower reminding us that winter isn’t quite finished with us yet. Hot soups are still desired, but not the thick heavy comfort soups …

Chunky Vegetable and Sausage Soup

Chunky Vegetable and Sausage Soup

February 21, 2017 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with Specially Selected Pork. Here in Shetland, the light makes a rather dramatic return just after Up Helly Aa, Europe’s largest fire festival. All of a sudden it’s not pitch black in the middle of the afternoon and outdoor pursuits can last that little bit longer each day, weather permitting. Despite a recent …

Shredded Turkey with Soba Noodle Soup - to go!

Shredded Turkey & Soba Noodle Soup – To Go!

January 24, 2017 by Elizabeth Atia

A delicious to-go soup recipe plus the Big Outdoor Bloggers Cleanup! This week sees the Big Outdoor Bloggers Cleanup – a country wide litter pick helping to tackle the problem of single use plastic. It’s also my husband’s week off work (the nature of his work means he works six days a week for five …

Curried Butternut Squash Soup - A delicious blend of warming spices and creamy butternut squash. A perfect soup to pour into a flask and take on a winter hill walk.

Curried Butternut Squash Soup

January 9, 2017 by Elizabeth Atia

A winter orca-chasing coastal walk and a warming bowl of soup. There seems to have been an increase in the number of orca sightings around our beautiful islands over the last year, for some reason. So much so that a Facebook group (Shetland Orca Sightings) has been set up by Shetland Wildlife specifically for people …

Courgette and Basil soup with Focaccia Toast

Courgette & Basil Soup with Focaccia Toast

August 30, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

I’ve got a stinking cold. I should have anticipated this and batch cooked some comfort food in advance. When the kids go back to school after every single holiday break they always bring home some new viruses from their peers; viruses picked up on holiday, new variants to our remote little island. Variants none of …

Pea, Potato & Lovage Soup - perfect for summer.

Pea, Potato & Lovage Soup

August 1, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with üutensil and Albert Bartlett potatoes. It’s the time of year where our diet is largely dictated by what appears in our weekly organic CSA veg box. It’s been a slow year for growing so far, our veg box producers say, due to cold weather and rain, but we are now receiving weekly …

Situated in the top station on Cairn Gorm Mountain, in the most unexpected of places, you’ll find Scotland’s highest restaurant – The Ptarmigan. At 1090 metres/ 3500 feet above sea level it’s no problem to access thanks to Scotland’s only Funicular Railway – a train carriage …

Broad Bean & Courgette Soup with Gouda

Broad Bean & Courgette Soup with Gouda

August 18, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

A delicious creamy green soup showcasing the humble broad bean! The first time I’d ever tried broad beans was in a Moroccan inspired chicken tagine recipe some years ago. The only broad beans I could find at the time were frozen ones – and they were awful; tough, rubbery, inedible. These supermarket brand frozen broad …

Skinny celeriac and apple soup

Skinny Creamy Celeriac & Apple Soup

January 12, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

All the flavour and nearly half the calories! I love a hearty, creamy bowl of soup, me. Especially when the winds are howling outside and you want something warm and comforting. Alas, most creamy soup recipes use a ridiculous amount of double cream – something I just can’t afford to eat right now while I’m trying …

Slow Roasted Tomato & Garlic Soup {vegan}

January 6, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Packed with the flavour of lycopene rich tomatoes and slow roasted garlic.   Nothing beats the humble tomato. Packed full of lycopene, its antioxidant properties and health benefits are well documented. Plus, a bowl of steaming hot tomato soup is the perfect comfort food, wouldn’t you agree? Especially when accompanied by a gorgeous, oozing, freshly made …

January 4, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Jumpstart the New Year for a healthier you! I’ve never been one for making New Year’s resolutions. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever made a single one in my lifetime. I can be a bit obsessive when it comes to seeing a project through, and if I don’t make it to the end I feel …

Curried Neep & Carrot Soup

November 5, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

Remember, remember the 5th of November. I may lament about the scaled down UK Halloween and lack of trick or treaters (we only had two this year – they left with loads of sweeties) compared to my rural Canadian upbringing, but do you know what? Bonfire night totally makes up for it. I hadn’t even …

ideal for sipping from a tin cup on the rocky sea shore Hot soup sipped from a tin cup while sitting on the rocky shore watching the waves dance. What can be better than that? There are nine years between my eldest child and my youngest. This means it can be difficult to find something …
