Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Chilli and Seeds

2026-09-06T12:00:00.000+02:00

Sweet, savory and spicy, these roasted sweet potatoes are very adaptable and easy to prepare. Sub in regular potatoes or add parsnips to make the side even more interesting. You can serve those roasted sweet potato wedges as they are, with the spiced seed mixture or with a sprinkle of freshly chopped herb and yoghurt dressing. Either way, these would go perfectly as a side with steak or grilled chicken.

2026-09-04T12:00:00.000+02:00

Apple cloud cake is a lightly spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, tender and less-guilty dessert that's zero added fat, relatively low in sugar, but big on taste. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or any time when sweet craving hits. Its soft texture and the taste of fresh apples make it irresistible. I have used a 23cm square baking tray, but you certainly can use a round springform pan.

Soft, chewy, made with apple cider reduction, raw brown sugar, apple pie spice and butter, these cookies are baked to perfection, then drizzled with an apple cider glaze that makes your entire kitchen smells delicious. If you don’t have apple pie spice mix, simply use 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with a little bit of ginger powder and nutmeg instead. Don’t over beat the butter and sugar, or the cookies will spread too much and become thin and flat. Store the rest in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. If you want to freeze the baked cookies, leave out the glaze. Let them thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy. Then, add the glaze if desired.

An easy chicken sheet pan recipe that can be marinated ahead of time and has an amazing Middle Eastern flavour. Sumac, known for its deep burgundy colour and lemony flavour, pairs beautifully with the deep, sweet notes of pomegranate molasses, creating a meal that’s exotic, exciting and deeply comforting.

Chicken 65 is flavour-packed, incredibly delicious and has just the right amount of heat. You can also serve it as the main with rice or naan.
If you can’t find fresh curry leaves, dried one would work too. Soak them for 10 minutes in water before using. Don’t feel like frying, then airfry them at 200C/400F for 6-8 minutes until cooked through.

Cherry Brioche Rolls with Hemp Seeds

2026-07-20T00:00:00.000+02:00

These versatile and utterly delicious bread rolls combine a rich, buttery, and fluffy brioche dough with a sweet, nutty cherry filling. They are simple yet very delicious, perfect for an afternoon tea, picnic or a quick breakfast. I used lower-sugar homemade cherry jam mixed with ground toasted almonds for the filling, but you can use whatever you prefer. Mascarpone, custard, nutella or frangipane are all great for the recipe. If you don’t want to bother with the shaping, simply form them into rounds and fill them with your favourite jam.
The bread is best enjoyed freshly baked, when it is still warm, soft and fragrant. However, if you have leftovers, store it for 2–3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
