Raspberry Pudding Tart

2026-04-06T00:00:00.001+02:00

This absolutely delicious raspberry pudding tart isn’t just beautiful to look at – it tastes delicious too. The creamy fruity raspberry pudding gives the tart a heavenly flavour, and the lime zest and raspberries the perfect finishing touch. Fresh homemade raspberry syrup is great pouring over pancakes, cheesecakes or adding to sparkling water.

Persimmon and Frisée Salad with Goat Cheese

2026-04-04T00:00:00.001+02:00

Are you looking for a quick salad that is fresh, delicious and full of flavour? Then this frisée salad with persimmon and goat cheese is just right for you. This salad not only tastes great, it also looks pretty. Frisée lettuce can be stacked attractively on a plate thanks to its curly, frizzy texture. The tangy, earthy flavour of goat cheese provides a delightful contrast to the sweet and crunchy texture of ripe persimmons while the apple cider vinegar dressing emphasises the fruity sweetness. I prefer the goat cheese as it is, but you can try brushing the goat cheese rounds with 1-2 teaspoons of honey and roast at 200C/400F for 8-10 minutes.

Creamy Chicken Thighs with Wild Garlic

2026-04-03T00:00:00.001+02:00

This delicious one pan chicken meal comes together in under an hour with minimal effort—but tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. If you don’t have herbes de Provence, use Italian herbs or even just oregano or thyme. Feel free to use some other greens instead of wild garlic or add in some extra mushrooms. It makes a perfect midweek dinner for a family.

Carrot and Snow Pea Quiche

2026-04-02T00:00:00.001+02:00

A delicous vegetable quiche that’s great for a spring meal. It’s super easy to make, perfect hot or cold for brunch or dinner. Make the crust from scratch if possible, but if you are in a pinch, a quality store-bought all-butter crust would work as well. I replaced some flour with toasted sunflower seeds, you can use almonds or just same amount of flour instead. The filling is loaded with lots of snow peas and baby carrots, but you can use whatever veggies you want for it.

Soya Braised Chicken Legs

2026-04-01T00:00:00.001+02:00

These oven-braised chicken legs are fall-off-the-bone tender, flavourful and so versatile that you can serve them with a wide range of sides, from classic steamed jasmine rice, chow mein, buns, and stir-fried vegetables to fresh salads. And the bonus? You just need one pan to have this delicious meal ready in less an hour. If you can’t find Chinese Shaoxing rice wine, use dry Sherry in a 1:1 ratio. However, it is worth noting that there is also a small amount of wheat or barley starters/yeast in Shaoxing rice wine. So it’s not gluten free.

No Knead Potato Bread

2026-03-31T00:00:00.001+02:00

Adding mashed potatoes to the bread makes it softer, moister, and fluffier, but you'll still get that iconic crusty golden crust. The bread uses very little yeast and the dough does not even need to be kneaded. Instead, it relies on a lengthy fermentation time to develop gluten. You can add some chopped rosemary or thyme to the dough to make it even more interesting and delicious. I baked the bread into a loaf, but you can shape them into a boule and bake in a Dutch oven.

Lamb Chops with Salsa Verde

2026-03-30T00:00:00.001+02:00

For a quick 30-minute meal you really can't beat these delicious spiced lamb chops with a homemade salsa verde, which takes this dish to whole new level of deliciousness. If desired, serve them with a delicious medley of roasted vegetables or some cauliflower rice for a healthy and nutritious low carb dinner.

Cheesy Sausage and Runny Egg Muffins

2026-03-28T12:00:00.001+01:00

These aren’t your average breakfast muffins. These cheesy sausage muffins have a beautiful runny egg inside a savory, tender, fluffy sausage and cheese muffin. They are ready in 30 minutes and perfect for breakfast, brunches, or snacks! For boiled eggs, use older eggs as they are easier to peel. Use smoked salmon instead of sausage if you prefer and smoked tofu if you are a vegetarian. The boiled eggs can be done a day before. Next day, freeze the unpeeled eggs in the freezer for not more than 30 minutes while you prepare the batter. This way, the eggs are cold and will stay runny after baking.

Everyday Spiced Chicken and Radishes

2026-03-27T12:00:00.001+01:00

This easy chicken recipe is especially delicious and vibrant, with peppery radishes absorbing the savoury drippings of the chicken. It's a budget and healthy dinner that's easy to make for the family yet impressive enough for company. I like to toss the greens of the radishes with the pan juices until just wilted because they take on tons of flavour and provide the perfect bitter contrast. If the radish leaves ain’t fresh enough, you can use spinach or other greens. Or simply use arugula as the orginal recipe suggested.
If you’ve never roasted a radish, you’re seriously missing out. Eaten raw, radishes are crunchy in texture with a distinctively peppery bite, but once roasted and absorbed the luxurious chicken schmaltz, they are sweet, earthy and mellow...just like low-carb potatoes.

Moroccan Carrot Salad with Savoury Granola

2026-03-26T12:00:00.001+01:00

A refreshing and vibrant salad combining crunchy carrots, peppery arugula, and juicy oranges is so versatile and can be enjoyed all year round. Use young and organic carrots if possible.
The savory granola with walnuts, seeds, and ras el hanout is full of wonderful flavours and add a delicious crunch to this Moroccan carrot salad. I strongly recommend you to double the granola and save some for roasted vegetables, cheese, soups or simply as a snack. Store in an air-tight jar in room temperature for up to a month.

This quick chicken recipe is the perfect midweek dinner for the whole family to enjoy. Succulent bone-in, skin-on thighs are seared until crispy, before being cooked with a hazelnut and chilli paste. Tossing the snow peas with the hot nutty sauce just before serving ensures they remain crisp-tender and vibrant green. If you're looking for a fast and simple one-skillet chicken meal, this is it.

Miso Glazed Lamb Neck

2026-03-24T12:00:00.001+01:00

The Asian-inspired lamb neck roasted for hours on a bed of stock vegetables is rich, tender and flavorful! Miso glaze is completely optional, but blending the distinct umami taste of miso with juicy lamb meat, you're really taking the food to the next level. Serve on pasta, potatoes or on bread. You can also You can also strain the liquid and cook over medium-high heat until somewhat reduced and thick. Serve alongside the lamb neck.

Balinese Roasted Chicken Wings

2026-03-23T00:00:00.001+01:00

Crispy, juicy chicken wings marinated with aromatic spices – this straightforward roasted chicken recipe brings together the fragrance of galangal, kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass (essential ingredients in Indonesian kitchen together with shallots and garlic) with succulent chicken wings, then baked to the crispy perfection.
If you can’t find lime leaves and galangal, bay leaf and fresh ginger are good substitutes. For 1 lemongrass, use 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and ½ teaspoon of grated ginger. Deseed the red chilli if you can't handle the heat!

Thai Massaman Beef Curry

2026-03-21T12:00:00.004+01:00

Massaman curry is a classic Thai curry of Muslim origin and traditionally it’s loaded with potatoes. I have simply skipped them and used 2 onions, but you can use radishes, kohlraib or even cucumber instead. If you are short in time, use a ready-made massaman curry paste. This recipe calls for braising beef, however, you can make this with beef ribs, lamb shanks, chicken, pork or even tofu too. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. If you are sensitive to peanuts, simply omit them or use cashew nuts instead.
Massaman means "Muslim" and is derived from a now-archaic English term "Mussulman," highlighting its origins as a fusion dish brought by Persian or Malay traders.

Spelt Bread with Walnuts and Raisins

2026-03-20T00:00:00.001+01:00

Crispy and fresh from the oven – that's how we like our bread best. This delicious homemade spelt bread with walnuts and raisins relies on long, slow fermentation with just a little yeast to develop gluten and flavour, rather than manual kneading. A 24-hour fermentation help develop a deeper, more complex, sourdough-like flavour and makes the bread more digestible. If you bake this bread in summer or your kitchen is very warm, or simply because you want to delay baking even longer, you can leave the dough rise in the refrigerator. I left mine in the refrigerator for the last 4 hours and the sticky dough was actually much easier to work with when it’s cold.

Ras El Hanout Carrot Galette

2026-03-19T13:00:00.001+01:00

This easy, rustic galette features a flaky homemade spelt-rye crust filled with herby goat cheese and ras el hanout carrots. The crispy texture and slight sweetness of shaved carrots complement the earthy and woody flavours of ras el hanout. The free-form galette is so easy to make and requires no special tart pan as it’s baked directly on a baking sheet, and the charm lies in their imperfection. It’s less fancy, but delicious and beautiful enough makes a perfect centerpiece for a spring table!

Çilbir – Turkish Poached Eggs in Garlicky Yoghurt

2026-03-18T12:00:00.001+01:00

Çilbir (pronounced chil-burr) are perfectly poached eggs with runny yolks, served over a delicious garlicky herbal yoghurt, and finished with a warm spicy butter or olive oil infused with Turkish pul biber. Enjoy it as a meze, or weekend breakfast and brunch.
Pul biber (flake pepper in Turkish), aka Aleppo pepper, is a coarsely ground Syrian and Turkish paprika. It’s fruity, tangy and mildly spicy and can be used to enhance a wide variety of dishes, from meats and vegetables to dips and even some desserts.

Pakistani Prawn Karahi Masala

2026-03-17T12:00:00.001+01:00

A prawn karahi curry is a seafood alternative on the more traditional and popular chicken or lamb Karahi. A quick and deliciously moreish curry with a thick, rich, flavoursome masala sauce that will have you going back for more. Karahi masala is named after the steep-sided, wok-like pot in which this dish would traditionally be cooked. Though the word karahi refers to the cooking vessel, it is also a synonym for a thick tomato-ginger masala sauce. The karahi curries are very popular in the Indian subcontinent, specifically Pakistan and North India. Prawn Karahi is traditionally served hot, garnished with fresh coriander and ginger juliennes, often accompanied by rice or naan.

Sunflower Whole Spelt Bread

2026-03-16T12:00:00.001+01:00

A hearty and nutritious loaf of homemade spelt sandwich bread dotted with roasted sunflower seeds, which gives it a nutty taste and unique texture. The bread uses a mix of white and whole spelt flour, along with a significant amount of sunflower seeds. It’s perfect for lunch or toasted with butter and honey for breakfast.

Smoky Spiced Chicken With Crispy Chickpeas

2026-03-14T13:00:00.001+01:00

A delicious and balanced meal using bite-sized chunks of boneless, skinless chicken thighs marinated with a blend of warm spices, sauteed until they’ve developed a golden crust, the spiced fat is then used to pan-fry the chickpeas until crispy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside. Alongside a refreshing yoghurt sauce, it makes a perfect low-carb meal that's as satisfying as it is nutritious on its own. I opt for a full fat Greek yoghurt, but you could also use regular whole milk yoghurt or a dairy-free alternative. Use ready made spice blend if you want to. Curry powder, baharat or ras el hanout would work beautifully here.

Black Radish Soda Bread

2026-03-13T13:00:00.001+01:00

Adding root vegetables to soda bread is an effective way to enhance its moisture, texture, and flavour, with popular variations including grated carrots, celeriac, turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, black radishes or beetroots. You can use either just one root vegetable, or a mix of two. I have added some grated Parmigiano Reggiano, but aged Cheddar will work perfectly in this loaf.
This savory Irish soda bread is incredibly versatile and super quick to make, requiring no yeast, and is best enjoyed warm with butter or alongside soup or salad.
Irish soda bread was first created in the 1830s, when baking soda was first introduced to the UK. At the time, Ireland was facing financial hardship and lack of resources, so they turned to soda bread out of neccessity, it was inexpensive and required few ingredients. Wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and soured milk was all they needed. It was thought that cutting a cross into the bread would ward off the devil/evil, or, according to folklore, allows fairies to escape while the bread baked. In fact, it’s actually because the dough is quite heavy and if it’s not cut, the dough will pop the air bubbles and it won’t give you the rise. Although soda bread has long been a traditional food in Ireland, it didn’t actually originate on the Emerald Isle. In fact, it was first made by settlers in America in the 18th century.

Leipziger Lerchen - Leipzig Larks

2026-03-12T12:00:00.001+01:00

Leipziger Lerchen (Lerchen means larks in German) are a small shortcrust pastry filled with nuts and strawberry jam. The pastry cross on top symbolize the cross ties used to bind the stuffed animals and red berry jam symbolize either the heart or the blood of the bird. The name originates from a delicacy popular in the Leipzig, Germany until the 1870s. The dish used the lark which was roasted with herbs and eggs and served as a filling in a pastry crust. By the end of the 19th century, however, the larks population had so decreased that the shooting of larks was officially banned. A clever confectioner from Leipzig had the idea of helping preserve the larks by creating a new, sweet version of Leipziger Lerchen filled with nut cream and jam. He and his team consoled the saddened gourmets with this sweet treat, which has survived to this day. In addition to original Leipziger Lerchen, you can also find Lerchen made with different nuts and jams in bakeries.

Za'atar Chicken with Lemon Tahini Sauce

2026-03-11T12:00:00.001+01:00

A super easy and healthy chicken dish that’s packed with awesome Middle Eastern flavour thanks to a generous amount of za'atar, lemon and garlic. I served the chicken with a tahini lemon dressing, but a Greek yoghurt dressing would be great too. Za'atar is a versatile herb blend deeply rooted in Middle Eastern and Levant cuisine and offers a unique flavour with a balanced blend of tart, spicy, and slightly sour flavors. It typically contains toasted sesames, thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac and salt.

Chicken Tariq - Harissa Curdled Yoghurt Chicken

2026-03-09T12:00:00.001+01:00

If you're into vibrant, smoky, fiery, and zesty food, you will love this African-inspired chicken tariq. Tariq here refers to the Rock of Gibraltar island, which comes from the Arabic Jabal Tariq ("Mountain of Tariq"), named after the Arabic commander Tariq ibn Ziyad. While geographically European, its proximity to Africa and historical ties, the food in Gibraltar blends British pub grub, Spanish tapas, and North African flavours. Creamy yohugrt and spicy harissa create a tender, flavourful, and golden crispy baked chicken dish that you'll turn to time and time again. The yoghurt tenderize the chicken and adds creaminess, balancing the harissa's heat for a rich, zesty flavour. Great to serve with flatbread, rice or just a simple salad.
