Come for the pudding but please stay for the eggs. I know black pudding is a taste for only the bold among us (I stand in bold!) but if you walk away from this post with anything, please let it be the egg poaching method. Whenever I post a poached egg over on my Instagram … Continue reading POACHED EGGS & BLACK PUDDING CRUMBLE
Often times, marmalade straddles the thin line of retro cool and old lady cringe. It’s a line I straddle like a rodeo clown. I straddle it with a smile. A good marmalade is like a man with good money, good manners and good sense. So difficult to come by. In fact, the only good marmalade … Continue reading CARROT & GINGER MARMALADE
This recipe was sponsored by Love Food, Hate Waste. We need to stop fearing whole ingredients. Not fearing as in ‘boo’ but fearing the consumption of eating a whole ingredient and not seeing the lesser used bits as gross or inedible. These are adopted attitudes that need to be dropped. From root to toot, there … Continue reading #COMPLEATING – PUMPKIN PANCAKES
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

Turkish Eggs have had … Continue reading TURKISH EGGS

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
This shoot was a Lowri Bethan Photography collaboration Porridge for so long has always been observed as some sort of prison food only served to the unhealthy or the punished. 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
