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…
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…
Lemony Halloumi & Asparagus Pasta
Although I’m getting married later this year to a real, live, human person*, I would have to say that cheese is probably one of my Top 5 True Loves. By virtue of generally supplying me with cheese, and putting up with my awful puns, Isla is at the top of the list, but it’s a…
Triple-Decker Brownies
The problem with brownies is that they are life-ruiners. They ruin people’s lives. One minute you’re happy and carefree, doing yoga in the sunshine in your pyjamas — and then suddenly you’re sacked out on the floor, chocolate around your mouth, a third brownie in your hand with no idea how it or you got there. Or…
Teriyaki Tofu Donburi
Let’s get this out of the way first: I have stretched my birthday out for as long as possible, culminating in the following photo being taken this weekend: I just think it’s important for you to see this image, so that we can balance out how new-age and wholesome this recipe seems at first glance….
Vanilla Iced Coffee
Nothing like an unseasonably cold spring to make you yearn for iced coffee, sunglasses and denim shorts. (Note: please do not try and consume sunglasses or denim shorts) Vanilla iced coffee is ridiculously easy to make and can be jazzed up any way you fancy; Bailey’s or Thornton’s liqueur adds a kick for a more…
The Easiest Tomato Soup You Will Ever Make
I’m not counting tinned soup here, so don’t get saucy with me, ladies and gentlefolk. I’ll know if you’re getting saucy with me, mark my words. I have saucy senses. Just a quick one today, folks – I’m off for a walk with my better half in the jiffiest of jiffies, but I find myself wanting…
Birthday Blog (& French-Style Lentils with Halloumi)
HELLO IT IS MY BIRTHDAY. Yes, I have successfully aged an entire year in the space of a day; yesterday I was a year younger, and Science will attest to this. Streamers, balloons and party poppers are all welcome in my home for this ONE DAY, so use that knowledge wisely. Please use the front…
