A roasted pepper soup sounds a bit autumnal but it’s been 23°C in Berlin today and this still hit the spot. It’s surprisingly light while still having all the delicious flavour of roasted red peppers and thyme. I didn’t add any potato to thicken it up which keeps it summery, I think. Continue reading →

Merry Christmas! We all know this time between Christmas and New Year is a weird one, and I’m certainly feeling it this year. I arrived back in Berlin the other day, having spent a lovely 9 days with family back home in the UK. It’s nice to be “home” but there’s not much going on here, so what better time to take my new square baking tin for a spin? Using my mum’s school recipe I christened the baking tray in the best way possible: brownies. Continue reading →

So I’m in Berlin now and my flat doesn’t have an oven. Real convenient for a food blogger. But do not fear! It’s given me a great excuse to expand my non-oven based repertoire. I’ve been thinking a lot about desserts and sweet treats I can make without the use of an oven, but I need a bit more time for that. In the meantime, here’s a delicious, healthy and super easy savoury recipe. Continue reading →

I know it’s now autumn, so this recipe maybe isn’t as seasonal as it should be, but if you’re anything like me then I’m thinking you probably want to hold onto the summer months as much as possible. Plus, this was something I made for the first time in August… Continue reading →

The last time I attempted a quiche the pastry case split and half the mixture ran out the bottom… This time was significantly more successful. Continue reading →

I’ve struggled to find inspiration to cook interesting things now I’m (temporarily) living at my parents’ house, but I managed to rustle up this delicious dish the other day. We love curries in my family (who doesn’t?) and one of our favourites is a Goan fish curry, so this is inspired by the flavours of South India.  Continue reading →

It’s rhubarb season and these muffins are a perfect celebration of springtime flavours.  Continue reading →

We all love a nugget, be it chicken, veggie or gold. But you’ve probably never thought about making your own, am I right? Well now you can, with this simple and relatively quick recipe for veg-filled, crispy-coated nuggets of goodness. Continue reading →

I’d never used tarragon before I made this dish but I can confirm it’s true what they say: tarragon and chicken is a match made in flavour heaven. Continue reading →

Baked beans are probably my favourite food. And beans on toast is probably the best dish ever invented. But even though Heinz tell you beans are one of your five a day, there’s a hell of a lot of salt and sugar in there too. So I’ve invented a healthier, fancier option that you can whip out on those days when you fancy beans on toast but you can’t justify it by being ill or hungover (my regular excuses for a baked beans binge). Throw an egg into the mix and you’ve got yourself an extra bit of protein. Health kick! Continue reading →

Never let anyone tell you frozen veg isn’t worth buying.
This curry uses frozen cauliflower and broccoli florets and boy does it save time and let you use as much or as little as you like. Continue reading →

This is a winner. Seriously.  Continue reading →
