When I was in the Southern States earlier this year, I ate at a fabulous restaurant in East Nashville called Little Octopus. There, I tasted burrata with pickled peaches and kaffir lime and it was sensational. For the rest of the road trip my friend Cassie and I couldn’t stop talking about…
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…
I have been a fan of Sabrina Ghayour’s cooking for a while now. I first went to the supperclub she hosts from her living room over a year ago, which you can read about here. Since then I think I’ve been on 4 other occasions, mainly because I kept raving about…
As you may already know, my favourite food magazine is Delicious Magazine. I have been subscribing to it for years and every month when I come home from work and see it lying by my front door, I still get a frisson of excitement. Every issue is jam-packed full of…
Its officially the festive party season, my favourite time of the year. It is always handy to have some ‘party food’ to hand in case people pop by which is why I tend to spend the first weekend of December in my kitchen whipping up as many party bites as…
This is just a quickie. Recently I’ve been making a lot of chorizo sausage rolls and every time I’ve posted pics on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, I get loads of messages from people asking me how to make them. They’re so ridiculously quick and easy, its dangerous. I can’t seem…

Its January, and everyone is feeling a bit flat and deflated after the excitement of Christmas and New Year. The weather is grey, miserable and cold and all I want is comfort food. For me, soup is the ultimate comfort food. Its like a big, warm hug from the inside.…
I always love moving into a new season as it brings with it a whole new array of seasonal foods. I especially love Autumnal vegetables so I was delighted to see butternut squash in the supermaket this morning. I decided to make some butternut squash soup, adding some sweet potato…
I love a cheese toastie, or as the American’t call it, a grilled cheese sandwich. There is nothing better than biting into that crunchy toast to be met with that soft, melted, gooey cheese. Incredible. So tonight when I was looking through my fridge contemplating what to have for dinner, I saw…
Those of you who read my blog regularly will know that aubergines are probably my favourite food. If I ever see it on a menu, I will immediately stop looking at anything else and order that. Even when I go to Lucky Chip, the best burger place in London (in…
