This is not a post about how to make cakes good, like what I do*. This is a post about cakes gone by, whose fluffy centres and creamy outsides have long since forged a path through the digestive tracts of my friends and family. Which, when I read it back, sounds kind of gross –…

Balsamic Onion, Goat Cheese & Samphire Tart
What is samphire? Good question! Samphire is something that we ate raw straight off the rain-soaked salt marshes of some place in the arse-end of nowhere whilst on some kind of Geography trip, when we were but knee-high to a grasshopper and wanted nothing more than to stand in the rain eating strange vegetables. English…
Aubergine Katsu Curry with Turmeric Rice
Something that everyone seems to be completely obsessed with at the moment, regardless of whether or not they have any other intersecting interests, is Katsu curry. I am not immune to its charms, even though I’m more likely to associate curry with Indian food rather than Japanese cuisine. Additionally, I generally find that (since money…
Kimchi Fried Rice
This is me, jumping enthusiastically on the bandwagon, arms flailing like a rabid octopus* as I ride towards victory. I’ve been doing fried rice at home for a few years now, and I have a recent (and passionate) love affair with kimchi, thanks to my equally recent and passionate love affair with Wagamama — so,…
Beetroot & Lentil Chimichurri Burgers with Slaw
Veggie burgers are basically my arch nemesis. They’re the Joker to my Batman (without the weird sexual tension and well-moulded plastic abs); the Blofeld to my Bond (also without the sexual tension); the Lex Luthor to my Superman (I don’t remember any sexual tension but I’ve been wrong before*). Basically I just can’t make them….
Breakfast Round-up
Whether or not you agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you can’t deny that it is varied, wondrous, and often slightly bizarre. While I prefer brunch, the potential of the humble brekkie cannot be denied; so here are a few of my favourite breakfasts, varying from 2-minute simplicity to… well,…
Crustless Cheese & Spinach Flan
This is a take on an absolute staple of my childhood. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve eaten this, since it’s stupidly easy to make; even when I was eating pastry willy-nilly the ready rolled stuff regularly made an appearance. But what really makes this delicious is the fact that it’s completely…
Rocket, Spinach & Watercress Soup
Sometimes, my friends… Sometimes you accidentally fall (mouth open) onto a chocolate Easter egg and consume half of it in one sitting. Such a thing could happen to anyone, I’m sure you’ll agree. But when this happens (as it does around this time of year), you need to reassert your virtue and maybe also remind…
Tuna & Artichoke Niçoise Salad
Salad is pretty boring – let’s just get that out there. Consuming leaves, as a concept, is a bit sad, but there are ways that you can make these things less punishing. For example, drowning said leaves in salad dressing, or putting the leaves one by one into a deep fat fryer. HOWEVER, this does…
Smoked Tofu Pad Thai
I GOT SICK AGAIN. Or rather, I thought I was better and foolishly decided to try and eat normal food; naturally, my body was having none of that, and I therefore had one of the most uncomfortable Easter weekends in living memory. I hope with every ounce of my exhausted body that yours was better than…
