‘15 cloves of garlic, crushed’ and ‘200g of tomato puree’, you would be forgiven in thinking that these two ingredients were part of some big batch cook for a party, not for a light brunch dish for four. I can assure you they are not a typo. I was intrigued […]

Combining many loves.. poached eggs with melted leeks. This is breakfast for dinner on crack. Fun factoid – the Welsh first joined forces with that delicious Allium, the leek, during a battle against those pesky Saxon invaders under the direction of.. Saint David! They wore them to identify who was a […]
Having cooked more variations on a chilli con carne in my time than I’d care to count, I was intrigued by Felicity Cloake’s Perfect recipe. Whether veggie, steak, turkey or classic mince, I’ve gladly attempted to eat my way through this bastardized dish. I’ll freely admit that I have never […]
Rocky road is one of those treats that appeals to all. A medley of chocolate and other niceties, divided into minute portions that no one really adheres to. It is a sweet treat for overeating, not being calorie conscious. Growing up in the 90s, Rocky Road seemed almost exotic. Americana […]
I love the fresh flavours of the middle east.

Now three books in and in no sign of slowing down. The wonderful Sabrina Ghayour has published three essential books in the last few years. Feasts is her latest Middle Eastern inspired cookbook. Scanning the book, it was hard to decide what to cook first. I haven’t been to the […]
I first made this sweet n’ salty Honey Pie at a little dinner party I held to celebrate the launch of Nigella Lawson’s last book, Simply Nigella. I reviewed the book and the Honey Pie in a now defunct blog – both the book and the pie received glowing praise […]
