Wholesome cakey goodness.
Blueberries and bananas make foolproof muffins that are wolfed down by children and adults alike.
One of the things I like most about this recipe is I’ve never messed it up (I’m not much of a baker you see).

It’s giveaway time!
I was very excited to be asked to develop and shoot a cookbook for Penguin Books. Buddha Bowls is out now and full of more than 50 vegetarian and vegan recipes made up of four core components designed to nourish from inside out.
Read moreMonte Cristo
To the library.
I’ve no idea if this originated on the island of Montechristo or if it appears the literary classic that shares the same name, but it’s bloody good.
Read moreBeefy empanadas
Glutton without prejudice.
Minced beef crispy pancakes, remember them? Yeah me too. They were one of my pikey penchants during my teenage years, glutton without prejudice that I was.
Read moreHarissa chicken meatballs
Ibizan delights.
I’ve been in a bit of a recipe rut of late, but our recent family holiday to the beautiful white island has proven a new source of food inspiration. Ibizan food it seems is having a moment in the sun, scuse the pun.
Read moreBeef bo kho
A sexed up stew.
As the cold snap continues it seems only right that I continue with some not so cold snap. See what I did there? Sorry, it’s the chill, it’s getting to me.
Read moreBeer braised short ribs
Bigger, bolder, beefier.
Beef cooked on the bone always tastes better — it’s bigger, bolder and well, er, beefier. Shame it’s usually super pricey.
Read moreDhal soup and prawn skewers
A souper New Year.
For the third issue of Superfood Magazine I was asked to come up with six soup recipes, dishes to warm your wintery cockles and that put a spring in your step, and this was one I just had to include.
Read moreMushroom risotto soup
No longer a labour of love.
I do love a risotto, but all that stirring? It’s enough to drive a girl mad. The good news is you can make a rich risotto without having to slave over the hob — because with this recipe the oven does all the work.
Read moreHarissa roasted cauliflower
An ingredient godsend.
Not only is Greek yogurt hailed as a superfood, it’s a godsend of an ingredient.
Read moreBeetroot cured salmon
Party perfection.
Yes, that season is almost upon us. It’ll soon be time to get out the cocktail sticks and spear all manner of pastry goods, deep fry little parcels of deliciousness and make merry with cocktails, fizz and mulled wine.
Read moreMini millionaire shortbreads
One for the road.
I think this might be my last proper recipe post and picture for a little while. Today I’m 40 weeks pregnant and as much as I’d like to think I’ll be able to have babyfruit in one arm and a wooden spoon/camera in another, I think it might take me a while to build up to that level of multitasking.
Read moreCoconut sandwich cookies
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.
Read moreRaspberry and coconut cake
Love you long time.
Laksa, tom kha soup and the piña colada are just a few of my favourite coconutty things, and now the coconut is having its moment in fashion I get to scoff it in all manner of stuff from snack bars to juices, which pleases me no end.
Read moreChicken Caesar salad
Love those leftovers.
This is my favourite way to use up precious leftover chicken from a Sunday roast.
Read moreCold brew iced coffee
This is the shizzle.
‘Cold brew’. I know I know, it sounds a bit hip. Which is probably why I’ve noticed a thing for swigging cold brew coffee straight out of brown glass bottles in the morning round Shoreditch.
Read morePuff pastry pizza
A great go-to.
A puff pastry roll kept in the fridge is a great go-to ingredient when you need fast dinner ideas.
Read moreFragrant stir fried lamb
New ways with lamb.
I’m fairly new to cooking lamb Chinese style at home. Beef and chicken are my go-to meats of choice for stir fries, but lamb makes a tasty change, especially with white pepper and fresh coriander root.
Read moreWild boar ragu
Big bold boar.
We’ve all done it, come back from the food shop with random things you didn’t plan on buying, only later to find yourself wondering “what was I thinking?”.
