Crab pops

February 22, 2016 Hannah Pemberton

My favourite kind of lollipop.

I love a crab cake, but they’re a little difficult to scoff at parties in polite company. For soirees one needs food that’s edible using just one hand, which is where the idea of these cute little crab pops came from.

Coconut sandwich cookies

November 1, 2015 Hannah Pemberton

A delicious detour.

It turns out that pregnancy isn’t something that can be controlled. Sure, you can steer things in the direction you want them to go, but ultimately, it’s going to go how it’s going to go.

Salted caramel chocolate brownies

June 10, 2015 Hannah Pemberton

No messing about.

Given the comments, ooh’s and aah’s I’ve heard after posting this recipe on Twitter, Insta and taking a few squares of it in to the office, instead of wait until I had time to write an intro I thought it best for everyone concerned that I get the recipe up pronto.

Easy lemon iced tea

August 27, 2014 Hannah Pemberton

The real amber nectar.

I don’t know who invented iced tea, but they need some sort of commendation. Easy to make and even easier to guzzle, it’s my go-to summertime tipple whether at home or on holiday as I am now.

Cajun turkey meatballs on rice

October 13, 2013 Hannah Pemberton

Adventures in meatballs continued.

I refuse to believe there’s a single soul around that dislikes meatballs. You like juicy flavoursome bite-size morsels made from all kinds of meats or even fish? Spiked with herbs and spices? Crispy fried or simmered gently in sauce? I know I do. In fact, it’s a wonder I manage to eat anything else.

Killer Mac ’n’ Cheese

October 1, 2013 Hannah Pemberton

Lazy luxury with Lurpak.

I was contacted by the good folk at Lurpak recently, asking if I’d like to host their October Bake Club and be the month’s mentor, sharing my version of mac ’n’ cheese. I jumped at the chance — cook and share a dish made with lashings of lovely butter with fellow food lovers? Count me in.

Rum and lime chicken cigarillos with coriander salsa

September 1, 2013 Hannah Pemberton

A few years ago I found myself at Bestival.

And in-between the fancy dress, champagne cocktails, sleeping in a beach hut with a proper bed (I was glamping, you might be sure), I could be found staking out a particular Caribbean food stall, the name of which my mind lost in the Hidden Disco on the last night.

Sous vide salt beef with pickled cucumber

August 7, 2013 Hannah Pemberton

Those close to me know I’m a bit of a ham-snaffler.

This love for the charcuterie board began at a young age. It started at grandmas house with good old fashioned turkey slices (I’d eat them by the packet full) but I quickly graduated cold meats school and now proudly scoff all manner of cold cuts, my favourites including Sopocka, salt beef, air dried Parma ham, mortadella and last but not least, crumbly Yorkshire ham carved off the bone.

Cajun BBQ ribs

July 3, 2013 Hannah Pemberton

The ribs of kings.

Hot, smoky, sweet, rich, spicy, juicy, tender. Prepare yourself, for your neighbours may well be scaling your garden wall and stealing them straight off the BBQ bars. Nuff said.

Bourbon and hickory smoked baby back ribs

June 8, 2013 Hannah Pemberton

No BBQ is be complete without ribs. Fact.

And having now tried the sous vide variety I think I could be facing a new food addiction. Move over noodles.

Sous vide chuck and marrow burgers on brioche buns with special sauce

May 10, 2013 Hannah Pemberton

I’ll level with you, burgers aren’t really my bag.

Whether the post club straight out the kebab shop variety, the posh restaurant gourmet try hard kind, or the super stacked sort that come with a whole host of misogynistic sides. Yep, the Americana-hamburgerology mega trend of the last couple of years has kind of passed me by.

Tex-Mex shredded chicken tacos with green pepper and avocado

October 17, 2012 Hannah Pemberton

Poor little green pepper.

The least popular of the colourful capsicums, which in our house can often found languishing at the back of the fridge looking a bit wrinkled.

One pot Cajun prawns and rice

August 12, 2012 Hannah Pemberton

Packing flavour into one pot.

I’m lucky enough to have been on Tastespotting and Foodgawker a bit recently, they’re food blog aggregator sites and aside from the glow I get when a post is accepted, they regularly serve as inspiration for photography, styling and recipes.
