Beef Massaman Curry

Much and all as I love Thai Food, Massaman Curry was never something that interested me as it doesn’t have the punch of a red curry or say a good Thai Beef Salad. As I’ve, ahem, matured, I’ve come to appreciate this milder curry with it’s layers of warming spice rather than heat.

My Favourite Chocolate Cake

I’ve been sitting on this recipe for quite a while. I’m not sure why, probably because I usually make it for an occasion and it doesn’t look great to arrive to someone’s house with a cake that has already been cut! So today I’m making it for a selfish special occasion, I’m off work and […]

Mac and Cheese

With bacon. I probably should have stressed this in the title but anywho, this is Mac and Cheese with bacon. Some versions of this dish are quite dry but mine is probably more Mac with Cheese Sauce. I know some people like to keep their Mac and Cheese as plain as possible, I’m not one […]

Chicken Shawarma

My love for Middle Eastern food continues to grow. I have Yotam Ottolenghi and Sabrina Ghayour to thank for this. I’ve loved Sabrina’s recipes ever since I first read Persiana when it was published. I’m glad to say that her latest book Feasts is every bit as good. I have been tinkering with a recipe […]

Dutch Baby Pancake

  By now you know that I love a good breakfast. Not during the week, those mornings I barely manage to dress and grab a quick coffee before leaving the house, but at weekends I love taking my time over a really nice brunch. What to make is often the issue. I love a good […]

Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

I was saving this recipe until later in the year to post but there’s a right bang of Autumn in the air these evenings. There will be plenty of curries, soups and stews in my near future. And apple and blackberry desserts. I’m starting to turn to comfort food already and this Bangers and Mash with […]

Orange Panna Cotta with Blackberry Sauce and Mini Meringues

I joked about a second blog post this week, but look – I actually followed through! This post is a long time in making. I had a delicious orange panna cotta with a strawberry sauce in Clancys last year and knew I had to recreate it at home.
