I love breakfast but I often don’t have time for it during the week. I always have a tub of homemade toasted muesli in the office which I like to have with berries and yoghurt, but when the weekend comes around I like to make some effort with my breakfasts.…
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…
After weeks of gorging on copious amounts of cheese, chocolate, cake, burgers, pastry, Christmas dinner, roast potatoes, bacon wrapped dates, Eggs Royale and more cheese in the run up to and over Christmas… …my body felt the need for some clean and healthy foods. I hated feeling so sluggish and…
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…
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…
At the weekend, I was watching Simon Hopkinson‘s programme The Good Cook on BBC1. On the show he cooked a variety of amazing looking dishes including Mediterranean stuffed peppers and spicy smoked haddock pilaf and then came…grilled aubergine with feta. It looked incredible and so easy to make. I was…
A couple of years ago my best friend Carmen and I were strolling around Borough Market in London and came across a stall selling the most wonderful tubs of deli treasures…baba ganoush, caponata, roasted aubergines etc. I bought most of what was on offer but one of the most delicious…
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…
Every August bank holiday I head North of the border to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This is my favourite weekend of the year. I went to University in Edinburgh and whilst I was there, I worked at the local radio station in my spare time as part of my media…
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…
As you can probably tell, I love my food. And when anyone asks me what my favourite dish is, I find it almost impossible to decide…and then my mind drifts to this dish…Parmigiana di Melanzane. This is a classic Italian dish incorporating my favourite ingredients…aubergine (eggplant), tomato and parmesan. I remember the…
