Thanksgiving
I was so inspired by all the amazing food that my US friends posted last week for Thanksgiving. And what better reason to celebrate than reflecting on what you’re thankful for? So I decided to put together our very own little Thanksgiving feast! I have no idea if I’m even close to a traditional meal,… Read more »

Shawarma
One of my best friends on Instagram, the lovely @leeksnbeets, shared a recipe for Shawarma, which I have never tried before. It looked delicious and I just had to recreate it. It was just as tasty as I’d imagined, if not better. Head right over to Noha @leeksnbeets and check the original recipe out. (And… Read more »

Stir Fry & Peanut Butter Sauce
I tend to forget about noodles, and when I eat them I always wonder why I don’t eat them everyday. Such an easy and versatile staple! Here I made a peanut butter sauce with garlic, onion, ginger, coconut milk, soy sauce, sriracha and lots of crunchy peanut butter. While it simmered on the stove top,… Read more »

Grazing Platter
Can you tell that platters are my new hobby? I took a leap and tried making one with vegetables and dips instead of fruit. I was hoping that the kids would dive straight in and eat in the same manner as the fruit platters. They did not. Well, the carrots and tomatoes were alright, but… Read more »

Carrot & Capers One Pot Pasta
We had another go at one pot pasta and this was my favourite so far. Onions, cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced carrot, baby spinach and white beans, and topped with roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds. But what really made the difference was adding capers. I used the regular little ones and stirred into the pot, and… Read more »

Shepherd’s Pie
I have a weak spot for everything British, and Shepherd’s pie is no exception. I absolutely love mashed potato, so this makes such a great, comfy dinner. Underneath the mash is chopped onion and garlic, grated carrots, peas and sweetcorn quickly fried in a pan with a bit of oil, black pepper and some soy… Read more »

Tom Kha Soup
When the cooking is a bit too jazzy to remember the recipe, a photo of the result will have to do. I remember adding coconut milk, ginger, kaffir lime leaves, miso, lime, nutritional yeast, red curry paste, cane sugar, lots of veggies and some coriander and cashews at the end. Well, something along those lines.… Read more »

Life isn’t always easy, and the past few days have been tough. So this warming, slightly spicy soup is just what I need to get back on track and soothe my soul. • Sauté 2 cloves of garlic, 1 onion and 3 cm ginger (all finely chopped) in oil in a large pot. Add 2-3… Read more »
