You know what my biggest pet peeve is with food writing? When writers give their recipes suspicious titles. ‘Happy Soup’, ‘Lovely Pasta’, ‘Easy as Pie Pie’. I’ll be the judge of that thank you. Just tell me what the God damn recipe is, will you? Having said that… despite my initial anger at such childish … Continue reading SQUAFFLES WITH BAKED MAPLE BACON
I think the concept of anything strenuous before 10am is enough to make you not even want to drop a toe out of bed, so it’s really important to have some really easy breakfast options up your sleeve for when your mouth deserves a treat but your body deserves a break. Turkish Eggs have had … Continue reading TURKISH EGGS
A ‘good morning’ is only good if there’s a good reason for waking up. Ladies, am I right? Herein lies a very good reason to wake up – a baked egg. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not bouncing out of bed Snow White style on a given Monday and putting eggs into show-off saucepan ramekins … Continue reading TRUFFLE BAKED EGGS WITH BLUE CHEESE & ARTICHOKES
Supermarket Vegetrian: Part VIII I can’t believe I am eight recipes into my SUPERMARKET VEGETARIAN series and I haven’t offered a breakfast recipe. This series is a collection of recipes using supermarket ingredients only to make meatless food more accessible – and this week I chose Lidl. They’ve really upped their game lately with their … Continue reading SWEET POTATO & MUSHROOM HASH
It was a Snow Day yesterday. To some people that means running amuck, building snowmen, sledding down hills and generally being merry. Not me. I choose food. There’s something about Arctic conditions (pause for the drama) that doesn’t say ‘explore’ to me. It says hunker down, cook something for the soul only, select your TV … Continue reading FRENCH TIGER TOAST & HOT CHERRIES
I’m not a morning person. Never have been. In fact, I don’t trust anybody that is. I know so many people that see breakfast as their prime opportunity to energise themselves and get their bodies in good stead to face the day. I am no such person. On weekdays, breakfast to me is a hindrance. … Continue reading 3 WAYS TO START YOUR DAY

Let’s lift the sentence, shall we? This is one of my favourite breakfasts because it checks all of the boxes I need for a bowl … Continue reading SPICED ORANGE PORRIDGE WITH BRAZIL NUTS & DATES
I’m obsessed with granola. Oops. I’ve been obsessed with eating granola for the entirety of 2017 more or less. The only danger of granola is – it can be mind numbingly boring. Honestly. If done wrong, granola can literally be the culinary equivalent of eating sand. Dreadful stuff. That’s why I’ve been trying to do … Continue reading APRICOT & ROSEWATER GRANOLA
I feel safe when I’m holding a tortilla wrap. Whether it’s a taco or a burrito, when I’m holding a tortilla that is stuffed with some nonsense, I feel safe. I think it has something to do with the fact that tortillas were the first thing I ever served people for a ‘dinner party’. Admittedly … Continue reading TOMATO & CHILI LIME OIL AVOCADO TORTILLA
A little less conversation, a little more breakfast please? What a dreadful way to start a recipe that is an ode to the King but I like kitsch in the Kitchen. What a fantastic blog title. Whatever. This breakfast is one of my go-to’s when I feel like I haven’t had enough sweet tasting things … Continue reading ELVIS TOAST
