I love the weekends who doesn’t! For me it means having the time to slowly potter around my kitchen, relax reading recipes, planning meals – basically feeding my cooking obsession. But it also gives me the time to cook big bits of meat and scratch my head a […]
I first discovered this recipe around 15 years ago in a supplement for a food magazine. SHAKSHUKA or as it is often spelled shakshouka is an Isreali breakfast dish, where eggs are poached in a spiced tomato sauce served with bread. As soon I read through the recipe I […]
It’s Sunday evening; you can barely be bothered to get off the sofa let alone leave the house to visit the local supermarket. But you want a delicious snack and just can’t justify ordering another takeaway so these are the perfect quickie, snack dinner that can make even the […]
For over a decade, the red pepper was my enemy. My sister’s allergic, my mother, doesn’t like the taste and I just never thought to buy them. It wasn’t a featured vegetable in my upbringing. Anyway in a light bulb moment at the supermarket, I picked up a pack, […]

What do you when you have people stopping by and not enough time to go out, you make these scones? And nope this is not a joke. And right yes I could have just provided my guests with a cuppa tea, but because I am Jew-ish, I have […]
It is a simple fact I LOVE chocolate. If I were ever stranded on a desert island I, would crave ‘Mini Eggs’ specifically, they are my ultimate weakness. (Who needs flowers when there are ‘Mini Eggs’). But I could also devour Cadbury’s ‘Dairy milk’, ‘Twirl’, ‘Green and Blacks Butterscotch’, any time […]
Happy new year one and all. Whilst many start a new year with the typical healthy resolution, it doesn’t mean there isn’t room for some naughty food and lets face it Hot Dogs are the ultimate comfort food. Yes, you can shove them in a roll, but why […]
