I had friends over for dinner a couple of nights ago and I wanted to make something easy to prepare, yet really tasty. So I made my go-to recipe of roast chicken and chorizo. It is ridiculously simple to make, yet tastes like you’ve put loads of effort into it.…
I feel a bit silly posting a recipe for something as simple as an omelette but this was so tasty, I just wanted to share it. I don’t like diets, I always think its best just to eat tasty, nutritious food that you enjoy and this omelette is so quick and…
Summer so far has been pretty ok. Well, for London anyway. We’ve had quite a few hot and sunny days in a row and that’s quite a novelty. However, the beautiful weather broke last week and instead of sunshine we for thunder and lightning then high winds and heavy rain.…
I absolutely adore aubergines. I could eat them every day, and often do. I’m always on the lookout for new recipes for them. A recent discovery was Sabrina Ghayour‘s incredible recipe for Kashk-e-Bedemjan – aubergines with caramelised onions and whey. It BLEW MY MIND! You can find the recipe for…
You know those really irritating people in January who go all ‘holier than thou’? The ones that were so much fun in December suddenly spend all of January banging on about the benefits of kale and quinoa whilst swigging from their NutriBullet cups on their way to the gym or…
As mentioned in my previous post, this month’s edition of Delicious Magazine is a corker. Every page turned revealed more and more recipes I wanted to try out, so here is another one by the wonderful Yotam Ottolenghi…cauliflower cake. This is almost like a baked cauliflower frittata. Served warm with…
I have done something quite unprecedented recently…I’ve decided to cut out crisps, chocolate, cake (yes, really), burgers, butter…basically all the rich, fattening, decadent, indulgent food I feast on daily. I don’t want to bore you with the reasons why, but for now I’m just taking a little break so I…
My favourite recipe book at the moment is Persiana written by the lovely Sabrina Ghayour. It is jam packed with delicious looking recipes and I am currently trying to work my way through them. You can see a couple of them here. I recently made her Khoresht-e-Fesenja which is a walnut, pomegranate and…
I have been eagerly awaiting Diana Henry‘s new cook book, A Change Of Appetite and last week I finally got my hands on it. I was not disappointed, its a beautiful book. In the introduction Diana explains the background to the book and says, ‘the main thing you can do for good…
Don’t ask me why but until a few weeks ago I had never made Yorkshire puddings. Crazy huh? Especially as they’re ridiculously easy to make. Almost as easy as taking an Aunt Bessie’s one out of the freezer and popping it in the oven. Well, not quite but you get…
Last week was a busy week and when I know I have a busy week coming up, I plan my meals accordingly. Luckily, I found out about a new online deli called Delicatezza who make a large range of filled pastas, fresh egg pasta, pre-prepared meals, fresh sauces etc and deliver…
I couldn’t decide what to make for dinner on Saturday night so I looked in the fridge for inspiration. I saw some chicken legs…always an easy start, then out of the corner of my eye I noticed a bowl on my kitchen counter overflowing with cherry and plum tomatoes and…
