About

Hello there and welcome to Pretty Delicious Eats. My name is Catherine I’m the keen foodie behind this blog. I’ve always shared a BIG interest in cooking, coming from an African background food is a vital part of my culture, sharing dishes with friends family etc.

Currently based in London life can be pretty hectic however I’ve always found time to cook good wholesome food full of flavor. I’m quite active with gym sessions throughout the week however I am partial to a good few slices of pizza (my favorite)…. every now and again. My philosophy on food is to place no restrictions on yourself and enjoy a balanced diet.

You will find quite a few of the following recipes on Pretty Delicious Eats that are perfect for people with a hectic schedule but don’t want to compromise on big flavors and or burst your budget;

  • Time Saving Meal Prep Ideas
  • Weeknight Dinners
  • Air fryer recipes
  • Healthy High Protein Meals
  • Culturally Diverse Recipes
  • & Much More!

The majority of my recipes can be made within 30-60 minutes or less so you’re not stuck in the kitchen for too long 😊

I’m big on home cooking as this is how I’ve been brought up, however whether you have just started cooking or well experience all my recipes are easy to follow and I try to provide extra tips where possible to ensure you can recreate the same magic in your kitchen too!

My passion for Food Photography, Videography, Recipe Development and Food Styling shines throughout my blog. I absolutely love to create a concept from start to finish ensuring the recipe tastes AMAZING but also is shot, edited and styled in visually mouth-watering way! With years of experience I’ve now tailored my personal style and I am forever grateful to have a platform to share with others.

FAQ

WHAT DO YOU USE TO PHOTOGRAPH?

I photograph everything using a Canon EOS 6D SLR camera. I shoot the majority of my images on a 100mm 2.8 lens, but sometimes use my nifty fifty 50mm 2.8 lens. I always shoot in natural light, and use Adobe Lightroom to edit my pictures.

1st loaf of Sourdough Bread! How did I do? 😅 No 1st loaf of Sourdough Bread! How did I do? 😅 No recipe just vibes. This loaf will be my base technique! I intend to learn & perfect over time. 

Improvements for my next loaf? 
- Less gummy, 
- Get a better rise 
- Improve on my shaping technique! 
- Refine my bulk fermentation process/timings
Any tips are welcome 🤗. 

For reference my starter is 100% rye flour, less than a month old & stored in the fridge. This loaf was baked with both rye and @allinsonsflour @allinsonsbread  strong white bread flour.

Stay tuned in for my sourdough journey!

Nigerian Chicken Stew with Rice - Comfort food cla Nigerian Chicken Stew with Rice - Comfort food classics episode 2 

This dish is all about slow, soulful cooking. The stew simmers for hours until the roasted tomatoes and red peppers turn beautifully sweet and rich, perfectly balanced by the heat of scotch bonnet peppers 🌶️. Each bite is bold, comforting, and packed with layers of flavour that only time and patience can create.
I served it the traditional way — with freshly boiled rice that soaks up all that delicious stew, and golden fried plantain on the side for the perfect sweet-and-savory combo.

🔹Chicken stew 
Sweet bell peppers - 4 (remove seeds)
Tomatoes - 4
Red onion - 2
Garlic cloves - 3 
Scotch bonnet - adjust to spice level 1+
(Remove seed for less spice)

Bay leaf - 1
Tomato puree - 70g
Vegetable oil 
Salt add to taste

🥳 It’s my birthday today, so I thought I’d 🥳 It’s my birthday today, so I thought I’d reflect on my growth as a girl who just loved to eat and cook food. What started off as a silly little hobby grew into one of my greatest achievements in life. Having a platform to share recipes that I work so hard on and love to create brings me so much joy.

You can really see throughout the years I’ve constantly tried to elevate, learn and really understand my interest in food and content creation.

Super proud of myself to see where I am now. My passion for creating recipes is so strong and I’m excited to see where it takes me. So so grateful for the opportunities it’s given me over the years. 

…..And if you can’t cook, just look at my first photo and look where I am now. You can do it too! 😊 ❤️

Batch-prep the salmon fillets &seasoned fish batte Batch-prep the salmon fillets &seasoned fish batter so you can enjoy fresh crispy tacos anytime 🌮

🔹Wet Batter
300 ml tonic or sparkling water
120 g self-raising flour
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt

🔹Seasoned Flour
120 g self-raising flour
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika

🔹Fish
500 g salmon, sliced into thin fillets
Oil for frying

⬇️Method

1) In a large bowl, whisk together the dry wet-batter ingredients, then slowly add the tonic/sparkling water. Transfer to a container.

2) Mix the seasoned flour ingredients in another container. You should now have one wet batter and one seasoned flour. (Keep both refrigerated and use within 3 days)

3) Preheat oil to 165°C. The oil should be hot enough to fry but not so hot that the batter cooks before the fish.

4) Place salmon fillets into the seasoned flour, close the lid, and shake the containers. Shake off excess flour.

5) Dip floured salmon into the wet batter, let excess drip off, then carefully place in the hot oil.

6) Fry 4–5 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Internal temperature should reach 63°C (145°F).

7) Place on a rack, sprinkle with flaky salt, and serve in warm tortillas with slaw, salad, and chipotle ranch.

🥗 Easy Salad + Everything Dressing ✨ My weekl 🥗 Easy Salad + Everything Dressing ✨
My weekly ingredient prep hack that keeps things fresh & crunchy for days!

🥒 Easy Salad
1 cucumber (deseeded)
6 tomatoes (deseeded)
Large handful fresh parsley, chopped

🍋 Everything Dressing
Juice of 5 lemons
3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp agave or honey

💡 Hack: 

Keep salad + dressing separate → lasts 4–5 days in the fridge! Season salad just before dressing so you can customise every time.

RECIPE ⬇️ The EASIEST chipotle meal prep slaw RECIPE ⬇️ The EASIEST chipotle meal prep slaw you’ll ever make 🥕🔥Crunchy, creamy + smoky — mix once, eat all week! 

🔹Ingredients 
4 carrots, grated
1 small white cabbage, thinly sliced
4 spring onions, sliced vertically into thin strips
4–5 tbsp mayonnaise (add more if you prefer extra creamy) @hellmannsmayonnaise 
2 - 3 tsp chipotle paste @marksandspencerfood 
Parsley- large handful, chopped
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder

Method

🔹Prep the spring onions: 
- Slice the spring onions vertically into very thin strips.
- Place them in a bowl of ice-cold water, this helps them crisp up and curl.
- Drain well before adding to the coleslaw base.

🔹 Make the dry coleslaw mix
- In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, sliced cabbage, parsley and drained spring onions.
- Toss to mix evenly.

🔹 Split the mix:
- Divide the dry coleslaw base into two containers:
• Container 1: Store as a dry mix in the fridge to use later in the week (great for salads, wraps, or bowls).
• Container 2: This will be turned into your chipotle coleslaw today.
- Mix the dressing straight into the coleslaw in Container 2, add the mayonnaise, chipotle paste, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.

🔹Serve
- Enjoy immediately with tacos, grilled meats, or as a BBQ side.
