I love Italian food. That may be pretty obvious to anyone who reads this blog regularly. I got it into my head to make some Aubergine Parmigiana – eggplant for anyone on the other side of the world!

Huevos Rancheros
It’s been a while since I posted a good hearty breakfast recipe so it’s time to put that right. Huevos Rancheros is one of my favourite breakfasts: eggs, tomatoes, spice and avocado – what’s not to love?!
Roasted Tomatoes and Avocado on Toast
For some reason I can’t keep tomatoes fresh at the moment. Because of this I had a glut of them that were looking a bit overripe. Instead of making Tomato Soup like I normally would, I decided to try this recipe from Diana Henry’s A Change of Appetite for brunch at the weekend. It is […]

Update July 2020 When I first posted this recipe in 2013 my only previous experience of Jalfrezi was from a jar. It has become my go when ordering an Indian takeaway but I’ll be honest, I prefer when I make it myself.
