Poulet Basque

February 5, 2012 Hannah Pemberton

I’m lucky to have spent a fair amount of time in San Sebastián, the fabulous Basque capital, but that’s not where I discovered this classic dish.

It was actually introduced to me by my dad, who is without doubt the reason I am as adoring of food and cooking as I am.

Camembert, black olive and apricot tart

February 5, 2012 Hannah Pemberton

The whole Camembert was sat in the fridge, waiting to be eaten as I was waiting for inspiration.

Normally polishing off cheeses if a forte of mine, and my usual trick with Camembert is to bake it. Doing this is especially good after studding it with black garlic slivers, a coating of black pepper and a splash of white vino.

Toulouse sausages with roasted red onions, spinach and puy lentils

January 29, 2012 Hannah Pemberton

Can’t be arsed? Then this dish is for you.

Little time and effort and good quality ingredients make this a real winner. Make sure you use good quality stock and high meat content sausages – and if you don’t like Toulouse then swap them for a more simple herbed sausage.

Roasted pepper, tomato and red lentil soup with crisp chorizo and black garlic

January 15, 2012 Hannah Pemberton

It’s no secret I’ve been ill this week. I’ve tried to keep a lid on my moaning but let’s be honest, when you’re feeling rotten that can be a difficult task.

However, today I woke up feeling much better than I have been doing, and to celebrate this and my sore throat leaving me I decided to take a walk.

Banana and pecan loaf cake with toffee icing

October 9, 2011 Hannah Pemberton

After three months at grandmas I can’t tell you how many cakes I encountered.

Every day I’d return home and there’d be at least one new cake to eat. Sometimes more than one. One day when rooting around in the ‘naughty cupboard’ I found six cakes. I’m not kidding – six.

Olive oil roasted cauliflower with feta and mint

May 8, 2011 Hannah Pemberton

Who fancies joining a food movement requiring little effort?

I’m convinced that this dish could rescue the cauliflower from plummeting popularity and sliding sales.

Courgette ribbon carbonara with taglierini pasta

March 24, 2011 Hannah Pemberton

First post of the year post work. I’m loving the nights drawing out, though the window of opportunity is still small.

I came home earlier in the week and cooked a Thai prawn soup and some sticky jasmine rice, it’s a quick dish but by the time it was ready to eat it was dark and I couldn’t take a decent picture, so tonight I knew I was on for a bit of a challenge to get this ready in time.

Lemon, polenta and poppy seed syrup cake with honeyed spiced figs

August 21, 2010 Hannah Pemberton

This is something of a first for the blog; a cake!

It’s not that I don’t cook or like cakes, more that I’ve always been more of a savoury girl. But this is a beautiful cake that has a great texture, is incredibly moist and isn’t overly sweet.

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).
