A simple but effective crowd pleaser. So today's recipe is British interpretation of The Mediterranean's dolma - stuffed vine leaves. As I do not have vine leaves to hand I have settled for stuffed cabbage leaves which, though they may sound less glamorous, are equally delicious. I promise! This is a wonderful meal to serve … Continue reading Pork and Thyme Stuffed Cabbage Leaves with a Smooth Tomato Sauce

French Onion Soup Burger
Fusing together the cuisines of two cultures is not a new idea - the more I read about cooking I learn that we have been borrowing techniques, ingredients and recipes off each other for years and re-imagining them in our own contexts.

Sausage, Broccolini and Ricotta Pizza
So some people use Monday as motivation for healthy eating; there is a lot of #meatfreemonday and #eatclean thrown around on Instagram at the start of each week.

Minimum time, effort and washing up with maximum flavour, enjoyment and impact. Today's stir fry is no different - the beef only needs to sit in it's marinade for a … Continue reading Sticky Sesame and Miso Beef Stir Fry

I apologise for the lack of recipes recently - I have started at a new job and have been too exhausted when I get home from work to create food worth blogging! However I am determined not … Continue reading Chorizo and Thyme Carbonara
“Dirty Rice” // Creole Beef and Pepper Rice
Bringing you a warming one pot wonder today as even in the midst of summer comfort food is still essential! I recently experienced my first foray into Creole cuisine via a Gumbo that my Dad made for dinner a few weeks ago. It was sheer perfection. Warming, spicy and packed full of carefully balanced flavours … Continue reading “Dirty Rice” // Creole Beef and Pepper Rice
