Product Review: Waitrose Calabria Inspired Salami, Red Onion and Fig Pizza

Let’s face it pizza delivery can be a little hit and miss, I am lucky to have a good one near to me, but in these financially constrained times it is far cheaper and quicker to keep an emergency pizza in the freezer.   For better homecooked pizza whack your oven up as high as it [...] [...]

Cranberry & Oat Sourdough Scones – Fresh From the Oven

I am late again.    Maybe I need to add to my blog resolutions to get things published faster and sacrifice some quality for timeliness?  I also seem to have mislaid my food note book, which may solve the blog backlog problem quite neatly. [...]

Black Bean & Butternut Chilli

In a break from chocolate and baking here is a winter warming chilli.    Using black beans, and butternut squash the chilli is spiced with cumin and sweet paprika, giving lots of warming comforting flavour, without a Scoville tolerance test to your tastebuds.   Delicious and ready in about 30 minutes.

Autumn is upon us and today it was time to dig out and dust off my slow cooker after not using it all summer.        In further celebration of Chocolate Week, and bouyed by the success of the stout brownies,  I made a casserole,  using another bottle of the double chocolate stout I was sent by [...] [...]

Courgette and Red Lentil Dal (Dahl, Daal or Dhal)

People know that I enjoy cooking and that I generally like to eat healthily, and well and often.  Some are also aware of my trying to stick to a vegan diet “for at least 80% of the time as it makes me feel healthier and it is better for the planet”*.   As a result I [...] [...]

Lime and Elderflower Possets

This is the pudding that I came up with for the recent foodbloggers’ Masterchef cookoff with Miele.    When planning a menu it is perfectly normal and reasonable to come up with a pudding first and then plan a main course to go with it?   I wanted a very summery pudding using my homemade elderflower cordial;  [...] [...]

Breakfast Sundae – Banana & Strawberry Ice “Cream”

London is hot hot hot and humid to boot.    I am positively enjoying my supermarket trips at the moment as I linger  and closely examine every object in the frozen section.    And what better for these hot summer mornings than ice cream for breakfast?    This is totally healthy, unprocessed, raw and vegan and tastes fantastic.   [...] [...]

Lemon Chickpeas

I love chickpeas, and happily eat them several times a week, either added to things to bulk them out or as the star of their own dish. I tend to cook them myself from dried, presoaking for 24 hours by pouring boiling water over the washed peas in a bowl; changing the water once, then [...] [...]
