It might seem a little ridiculous to post a recipe for a sandwich, however, when I was introduced to this by a friend I was surprised at how much I loved it. The next day I couldn’t stop craving the different textures and flavour, so I went to grab the ingredients in time for lunch….

Glazed Lentil Walnut Apple Loaf
When I was a young girl, I had a dear friend in my class for a couple of years, before she moved to the other side of Canada. We remained in touch for several years, albeit she was much better than I was at staying in touch, before we lost touch for good. Many years…
Soba Noodles with Sesame Seeds
Every once in a while, I find a recipe which I find I am making again, and again. I am easily bored with food, so this is quite unusual for me. On the salad front, I am continuously making the taco salad recipe – the lime vinaigrette is so light and refreshing and the tortilla…
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chip Oatmeal Biscuits
These might look like any other biscuit (or cookie for you North Americans), but trust me, they aren’t. They are the brainchild of my cousin. (Really I am starting to feel like a fraud by posting all her recipes, but truly they are worthy. And she doesn’t blog… so someone has to let the world…
Meringue Roulade with Raspberries and Rose Water
I remember, not so long ago, someone making a comment about meringue being boring. I suppose, if you think about it, there isn’t much more that can be done, which hasn’t be done to it already. I, however, find meringue to be fascinating. The idea that egg, mixed with sugar can support a range of…
Cod Cakes in Tomato Sauce
When Ottolenghi was last in Edinburgh, for the launch of Plenty More (a couple of years ago now), somehow this recipe was brought up during the evening. He stated it was probably one of his favourite recipes and it comes from his Jerusalem cookbook, which he developed with Sami Tamimi. If you haven’t tried out this…
Stewed Berries with Porridge
If I could have a cooked breakfast everyday, I think I would be most happy. Okay, lets be realistic, a breakfast of pastries and sweets would best – but not realistic. When the weather is cooler and the threat of snow is in the air, a warm cosy breakfast is the best way to start…
Basic Crepes
A lot of my recipes are scribbles on tiny pieces of paper. Usually a list of ingredients and not much else. Then there are a handful of recipes buried in the depths of my brain, somewhere. This filing system includes nothing more than ingredients coming together until they ‘feel’ right. This happens to be one…
Apple Pie Pancakes / Crepes
I have spent years refining the fillings for our pancakes (aka crepes) on Pancake Tuesday. I like to have a few savoury and some sweet, in addition to the usual lemon with sugar, cinnamon sugar and nutella with bananas which seem to be mandatory. Usually I like to have some sautéed mushrooms or sautéed spinach. I have…
Curried Meatloaf – Bobotie (South African Meatloaf)
When I was growing up, we were the kids who ate ‘different’ food. It wasn’t something I noticed or cared about, until we would have a friend for dinner and they would refuse to eat anything. Not even try it. In turn, I would go to their houses and have what I could call very…
Stuffed Peppers
Lately I have been on a quest to find some side dishes to accompany our main for dinner. I wanted something relatively easy to prepare in advance and didn’t include the usual meat filling. With our lives being incredibly busy at the moment, I am trying to simplify my life and as such, simplify the…
Açai Coco Smoothie
Not unlike so many others, I am still in a state of extreme like when it comes to açai. I have it as often as I can – which is not often enough I must add! I love berries and this just pulls them together so well. Whilst the smoothie bowls are certainly my preferred…
