Chocolate, Cranberry and Pumpkin Seed Cookies

I love these chocolate, cranberry and pumpkin seed cookies, an adaptation of Nigella Lawson's recipe from https://www.nigella.com/books/at-my-table The cookies are sweet, sour, chewy and crunchy all at the same time, with a little bit of heat from the chilli! With the kids back at school, I'm determined to start off on the right foot by baking ... Read More

Vietnamese-Style Chicken Salad

I made a Vietnamese-style chicken salad for dinner last night in an effort to please everyone at the table. Every night this week, someone has complained about the meal I've served. So, I placed all the ingredients on the table for people to help themselves, with the chilli and herbs on the side, and included tomatoes big and small. The fussiest ... Read More

Chocolate Chip and Peanut Cookies

I'm not sure where the recipe for these chocolate chip and peanut cookies comes from. I've been making them since I was a kid, and the recipe is very neatly handwritten in my first ever recipe collection book.

Pear, Date and Seed Loaf

The loaf is delicious toasted the next day with either cashew cream or butter smeared on top.  Feel free to play around with different ingredients. The loaf works well with all sorts of ...

Brown Sugar Shortbread with Walnuts and Rosemary

  Brown sugar shortbread with walnuts and rosemary is a spin on traditional shortbread. Rosemary and orange zest give the shortbread an aromatic quality, while the walnuts add another layer of texture. I also love the grainy texture of wholemeal spelt flour, so I use it as often as I can when I'm baking. I'm always looking for ways to ... Read More

Caramelised Onions with Coriander

A jar of caramelised onions is a very handy thing to keep in the fridge. It can be used in so many different ways - to spoon on top of sausages and mashed potato,  to combine with a sharp cheddar cheese in a toasted sandwich, to use as topping on pizza with goat's cheese or gorgonzola, to add to a frittata with spinach and leftover roasted pumpkin, ...
