The sweet potato is crammed full of nutrients as well as being high on the comfort scale. I like to roast it hasselback style, topped with chopped chillies, salt and fresh rosemary. Like this it’s the perfect side to steaks, stewed chicken or even a hearty slow cooked lamb shank.
Read moreFor 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 moreYes, 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 moreI 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 moreA far cry from the bread and butter pudding of my childhood, where scorched little raisins sat on top of burnt bread with a soggy milky underside (sorry auntie, puds just weren’t your forte) this one is rich and creamy, full of fresh homemade vanilla custard that’s soaked in to soft buttery brioche and comes complete with a crisp creme brûlée style top.
Read moreBeef and horseradish are best friends that hold a special place in many a Brit’s heart. But contrary to popular belief, they don’t only have to put in an appearance at Sunday lunch. Oh no.
They go a treat on a delicate little crostini too, making them ideal snackage for parties, soirees or any good old fashioned booze-ups you might be planning for this coming festive season. I created these beefy little bites for Superfood Magazine’s Christmas special along with 9 others.

Read moreGiven 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.
Read moreI’ve had more than my fair share of Bloody Mary’s over the years and reckon I’ve given most incarnations a go. I love those that are generous in their spicing, I quite like the ones with grated fresh horseradish (as long as they’re served ice cold), I’m not sure about the tablespoon of red wine one, I don’t like the ones made with chilli vodka, and as far as I’m concerned, jalapeños and pickles have no place in a good BM in my book.
